Pre-geological prediction (PGP) is defined as the prediction of engineering geologic condition and hy-drogeological condition certain distance ahead of the working face. The purpose of this paper is to introduce mainlygeologic survey before and in excavation, to clarify their emphasis on PGP. At the same time, the technique is appliedto an engineering case, the longest highway tunnel in Gansu province. Data of geological survey of outside tunnels,sound wave detection, and geologic sketch for both tunnel face and sidewalls within the tunnel are analyzed. Afteranalyzing these data, long-term pre-geological prediction forecasting basic geological conditions of fault 4 such aslithology, scope, location, etc., and short-term and more accurate pre-geological prediction are reported.
