In the past, the main method of tunnel excavation in China was drilling and blasting, but the biggest shortcoming of the traditional drilling and blasting method is that it is easy to cause serious overexcavation and underexcavation. At the same time, the operation cycle time of this method is long, which leads to a serious waste of resources. Not only that, a large number of toxic gases and dust produced after blasting also do harm to the health of construction workers. So this is an urgent need for a new construction technology to solve this worldwide problem. In this situation, the leading experts in the field of tunnel, "The survey and design master of China" Shi Yuxin, Liu Pei, and well known expert in explosion field, yan-sheng ding, professor Chen Chengguang and Gu Yicheng, the experts group, cooperate with The Fifth Branch of China Railway 18th Bureau in northwest project management department, developed a new technology. This technology has passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements organized by Tianjin Science and Technology Commission, which is shaped hydraulic smooth blasting technology. The comprehensive evaluation of the technology is "international leading" level.This paper is mainly aimed at the drawbacks of drilling and blasting construction,combined with the author's cognition and discussion on the introduction of the new technology of cumulative hydraulic blasting and the practical application effect in the tunnel excavation process of the fourth company of China Railway 14th Bureau Group in the second division of the 9th bid section of Zhangjihuai Railway in Huainan Province.
