UNDERCITY Symposium

April 19, 2012: Immersed tube technology was a keynote topic at the Dubrovnik symposium in Croatia. With more than 1,000 islands along the Adriatic coast, the only thing missing are fixed links. Tunnelling through the karst conditions of the region was another focus with developments in the field of geophysical ground investigations being explored. There is much to support an invitation by Croatia and its South East European neighbours to host the ITA World Tunnel Congress in 2015.
