TUNNEL DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION EUROPE – CHALLENGES IN THE FUTURE

I enjoyed my attendance at the conference which was well organised and had a good balance of relevant tunnelling projects and information for delegates regarding tunnelling and underground technology
Martin Knights, International Tunnelling Association

European countries are spending huge sums constructing, maintaining and upgrading existing underground spaces, Tunnel structures have become longer, more complicated and the underground transit is on the rise. They are becoming increasingly vital part of European transport infrastructure networks; this represents major challenges in the future.

Due to the overwhelming success of IQPC’s Tunnels and Underground Construction in Abu Dhabi and Australia, IQPC Europe is proud to announce this global event has come to Europe. The inaugural Tunnels and Underground Construction Europe will take place in Switzerland in October. This conference will showcase best practices in design and engineering of tunnels and underground spaces through a variety of case studies, presented by project directors and construction managers. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn critical information that you can implement into your current and future projects.

Who is attending and who will I meet?

Tunnels and Underground Construction Europe will bring together experts from the construction industry, the asset owners and consulting engineers to give you a complete overview of projects from start to finish. You will take advantage of the networking and benchmarking opportunities to establish strategic contacts with project sponsors and planners.

This conference will provide a unique opportunity to meet and hear from senior regional and international figures spanning government policy-makers as well as leading construction and engineering companies, including:

  • Local and national government
  • Main contractors
  • Engineers
  • Consultants
  • Designers
  • Suppliers

Hear first hand case studies and:

  • Discuss the challenges of how to ensure timely and efficient project delivery
  • Explore overcoming structural engineering challenges and the safety & security in tunnels
  • Take part in active discussion and debates on design, safety and construction methods
  • Learn about specific cost effective and sustainable tunnel construction techniques and projects currently being undertaken
  • Explore optimising design to minimise materials and overall project cost

Don’t miss best practice examples from:

  • Eivind Grøv, Vice President, International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association
