The Westerschelde Tunnel: Approaching Limits

By Heijboer

The completion of the Westerschelde Tunnel in the Netherlands was a triumph over the technical challenges of building a 6.6km long tunnel under complex and sometimes extreme, geological circumstances. This volume tells the story of the design and building of the tunnel and includes contributions from leading experts who were directly and practically involved in the project as designers, builders and financiers. It contains many practical lessons concerning the organization of large-scale construction projects in general, and tunnel building in particular.
