Urban Tunnelling Conference - TunnelCast

September 2013: Traffic congestion, settlement control, muck management, noise, vibration and dust control were among some of the topics discussed by senior managers of major urban tunnelling projects at a boutique conference held in London in September 2013. Development of underground projects from across the world, among them Hong Kong and Singapore; Kuala Lumpur and Chennai; Oslo and London, provided the backdrop against which these particular issues were explained and discussed.
