ITA-WTC2011 roundup - TunnelCast
  • CREG

May 2011: It was a busy agenda worked out by the 1,300 delegates at the 37th ITA General Assembly and World Tunnel Congress in Helsinki this week. The capital of Finland played a perfect backdrop for hosting the international tunnelling community with a live car park excavation contract progressing beneath the iconic Finlandia Hall venue. ITA business was advanced and technical sessions of the WTC discussed wide ranging topics of interests for all sectors of the industry.
