The choice of optimal route and construction of the tunnel requires a geotechnical recognition of a wider area where the tunnel might be located. The recognition is possible if we use a proper suite of geophysical methods. In case of geophysical recognition of flysch formations in southern Poland, seismic and geoelectric surveys were proven as the most efficient. The surveys make it possible to characterize basic features of flysch, as lithology and tectonic. Numerous geophysical surveys carried out on area of flysch Carpathians to geotechnical purposes have proven also that geophysical parameters characterizing flysch (seismic wave velocity, electric resistivity) are sufficient to describe its geotechnical properties as geotechnical class. The formula on geophysical index of geotechnical classification, called KFG, was determined using statistical methods in a manner ensuring the index is equivalent to RMR Bieniawski value. KFG index was successfully applied to proposing routes and technology of boring of hydrotechnical galleries. It was also applied for reconnaissance of routes of communication tunnels planed in flysch Carpathians. Seismic and resistivity methods appeared to be very effective in recognition of fluvio-glacial deposits occurring along the tunnel route planned in Gdańsk.
