Tunnelling in the Mediterranean Region - TunnelCast
  • Herrenknecht

May 8, 2013: Countries of the Mediterranean have much in common. While their coastal locations and pristine beaches attract much-needed tourist income, countries in the region suffer major traffic issues during the summer season rush for the sun. Many countries have major coastal cities; several have inhabited islands along their coastlines that require fixed links for future sustainability; and all share similar geological conditions. The common issues for the region were up for discussion this week in Porec, Croatia, as the first in a series of annual conferences that will rotate between the Mediterranean countries.
