It seems like every time I turn around these days there is another amazing tunnel project in the news. The level of engineering brought to bear on these challenges is phenomenal, whether it’s in the tunnel alignment or the TBM design and fabrication, or shoring and ground improvement in advance of the tunneling. This article highlights 7 record-breaking tunnels from around the world. Check back in another year or two and I’m sure there will be some new accomplishments to add to this list!
