From the Editor's Desk - 4 Dec 2009

Innovation and development is the life line of an industry. Finding the first customer to try a new idea is the tricky part. Cost savings; time savings; protection of the environment; and improved safety are the strongest selling points. Fear of the new and unwillingness of insurance companies to cover untried techniques are the blocks. Our first exposé of the new and innovative in tunnelling highlights:

• A self-building immersed tube technique
• Fast formwork for cut-and-cover top deck
• Continuous NATM face monitoring
• Non-standard TBM guidance control
Procurement: Crossrail's tunnel tender shortlist
Career Moves: Crossrail procurement manager and new PB CEO
Diary Dates: December BTS meeting next week 10 December
