The characteristics of engineering-geological substantiation of tunnel facilities for hydroelectric power plants in the mountainous regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus are determined by the current tectonic, seismic, and geologic processes going on there. This paper proposes methodologies for constructing models that are responsive to the peculiarities of the region and that can be used to optimize the tunnels throughout design and construction.
