Review of overseas tunnels
The purpose of Austroads technical research project, TS1878 - Review of Overseas Tunnels, was to perform a review of international road tunnels, to identify best practices in tunnel construction and maintenance and to assist in the formulation of more affordable tunnel solutions in Australasia. This project has been designed to assemble information on the construction and operation of a large number of recently completed road tunnels from across the world. With this information it was proposed that standards applicable to road tunnel construction in Australasia be reviewed to reduce the costs of designing, building and operating Australasian road tunnels. This project was not able to obtain a high level of quality tunnel information which could be used in identifying best practices in international tunnel construction and maintenance, however, a large number of tunnels (122) were identified across Europe, Asia, North and Central America, Australia and New Zealand, for which at least partial information was obtained on the targeted attributes to be collected.
