John Mitchell Award Lecture

Introduction

Colin Eddie will be presenting his own perspective on the past, present and future of Tunnelling.

He will explore the utilisation of underground space and the development of ever more sophisticated construction techniques. Drawing on his considerable experience of working in the congested subterranean environment, Colin will present a summary of some of the challenges encountered when tunnelling beneath urban areas and some of the novel techniques he has employed to overcome them. Looking to the future, Colin will consider what challenges will be faced in the upcoming major tunnelling projects currently proposed for London and how the UK tunnelling industry can overcome them and maintain their position in a challenging international market. The lecture is also available to watch live online with the opportunity to pose questions. Follow this links to register and for details on how to log in and attend online.
