This book covers all the main aspects of tunnelling: planning; studies which contribute to the viability of a tunnel project; the technical aspects of design; the management of construction; overall project management; a review of recent tunnel failures; and issues regarding dispute resolution and prevention. The concept of design is defined in detail and related to systems and to risk, the final chapter discusses the failures in 1994 of railway tunnels at Heathrow Airport. Tunnelling has become a fragmented process, excessively influenced by lawyers' notions of confrontational bases. This prevents the pooling of skills, essential to the achievement of the designers' objectives. Tunnelling: Management by Design seeks to reverse this trend, and provides a comprehensive description of successful tunnelling practice.
