MECHANICAL BORING OR DRILL AND BLAST TUNNELLING

Proceedings include 15 technical papers that provide detailed information relating to all aspects of tunneling on both sides of the Atlantic. The reports give a comparison of the two techniques with respect to contracting, excavation and pre-investigation rock mechanics, present and future equipment, and a detailed comparative cost analysis. They also bring out differences in the conditions and techniques between the United States and Sweden.
