What will 2015 hold for the tunneling industry? Tunnel Business Magazine asked a panel of 4 industry experts that question. The panel consisted of a Colorado School of Mines Professor as well as reps from Black and Veatch, AECOM, and Kenall Manufacturing. In general they seem to agree that there are opportunities in the US for large combined sewer outfall (CSO) projects, water distribution projects, and even high-speed rail, particularly in California.

In Memoriam
Bridge and Tunnel Engineer, Thomas R. Kuesel 1926-2010
Newport Bridge, Newport, R.I., much of the BART subway system and Boston’s Big Dig were among the numerous significant projects worked on by the late Thomas R. Kuesel. He was a well known civil engineer and tunneling expert, co-editor of the “Tunnel Engineering Handbook,” a standard reference for design and construction used worldwide. One of his most noteworthy tunneling projects was the NORAD Combat Operations Center beneath Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs, built during the height of the Cold War and designed to withstand a nuclear blast. Read on for a full obituary chronicling his distinguished career.
