About this ebook
Tunnels And Infrastructure explores the hidden world beneath our cities, examining the design, engineering, and construction of tunnels for transport and utilities. It addresses the growing need for sustainable infrastructure in expanding urban environments. Tunnels offer solutions to surface congestion, minimize environmental impact, and enhance urban resilience. The book highlights the historical evolution of tunneling and its connection to social and economic factors. For example, modern subway systems evolved from ancient aqueducts, demonstrating the enduring need for underground solutions. The book uniquely integrates technological innovation with environmental and social considerations.
The book begins with tunneling methods and materials, including traditional techniques and modern technologies like tunnel boring machines. It examines planning and design phases, including geological surveying and risk assessment. Case studies from around the world, both successful and unsuccessful, illustrate the factors influencing project outcomes. It progresses from transport tunnels to utility tunnels, then to the integration and future of both. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach helps readers make informed decisions about developing sustainable and resilient urban environments.
