Introduction
Following a
highly successful meeting in Boston, where delegates had the opportunity
to see work on the Big Dig, it was appropriate that the symposium
should return to Europe to meet in 2003. With the Swiss authorities'
ambitious plans for longer, deeper Alpine tunnels and after a number
of serious incidents in Alpine tunnels in the last four years, the
Symposium considered the full range of issues facing tunnel engineers,
from the high level issues of planning, cost and safety to the practicalities
of assessing, maintaining and upgrading existing ventilation systems.
