His innovative approach required meticulous measurements directly on steep rock faces, often with the assistance of climbers, as he worked to ensure the tunnel's design was both functional and economical. Caitar's contributions were crucial in navigating the difficult conditions of high-altitude construction, ultimately leading to the successful completion of this significant engineering feat.
