Tunnel Design & Construction Europe 2011

This year's conference Tunnel Design & Construction Europe provides a unique opportunity to meet and hear from senior regional and international figures about the most challenging European tunnel projects such as the Coentunnel, the North South Metro Line in Amsterdam, the Marmaray Tunnel, the Crossrail project, the Brenner Basistunnel in Austria and the Metro 4 line tunnel in Budapest.

Diese in Englisch abgehaltene Fach-Konferenz wird für alle projektleitende Ingenieure initiiert, die sich mit der Konstruktion sowie dem Design von Tunneln beschäftigen. Dabei stehen aktuelle europäische Tunnelbauprojekte wie der Coentunnel oder die North South Metro Line in Amsterdam im Fokus und werden aus diversen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet.

IQPC’s “Tunnel Design & Construction Europe” conference is back!

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.

This conference will highlight specific topics to promote far reaching debate and discussion amongst the tunnelling community, generate closer dialogue and encourage the exchange of views and knowledge in an open and informal atmosphere.

IQPC is dedicating this international conference to providing you with cutting-edge case-studies:

  • Discuss risk analysis strategies to decide how to distribute risks between stakeholders
  • Learn about New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) and how it helps to overcome difficult rock conditions
  • Explore the challenges of construction in an historic urban area and the planned management of ground movements and damage
  • Find out how to use risk analysis for fire safety design for a more comprehensive safety approach
  • Hear about fire safety considerations in tunnel design and construction to minimise fire risks
