It is now more than twenty years since a proposal was first mooted
to hold an international tunnelling symposium in Britain. At the
time of the first symposium, held in London in 1976, the Channel
Tunnel pro ject had just been shelved. Last weekend a charity walk
was held in the finished tunnel, which will be open for business
later in the year. Tunnels have figured prominently, and at times
spectacularly, in the development of national and international
links and it is hoped that such links gather pace in the future. It
is particularly pleasing that Alastair Biggart of Storebrelt has
agreed to deliver the twenty-sixth Sir Julius Wernher Memorial
Lecture of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, entitled 'The
changing face of tunnelling', at the start of this event. *
Although almost every edition of the technical journals on
tunnelling reports another GBP1 billion scheme somewhere in the
world, it would be unfair of me to suggest that tunnelling is
restricted to these prestigious schemes for major transport links.
Much of the work that makes mod ern life possible receives hardly a
mention outside the technical press and one suspects that society
at large applies the 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude even more
readily to underground construction than it does to other forms of
engineering. Clearly, there is a contiiming need to improve the
capacity and performance of our infrastructure, while hav ing a
careful regard for the environment.
