SUBSEA TUNNELS

Going underground in the sense of rock engineering has proven to be well suited for many purposes. The publications of NFF has covered aspects like oil & gas, storage, hydro power, sports facilities, road and rail tunnelling and more. Safety, technical solutions and best economy are some of the reasons behind the subsurface projects. Even in scarcely populated Norway, space is becoming a valuable resource forcing limitations on urban expansion. The environment needs to be protected and the aesthetics considered.
For subsea road tunnelling, though, the situation is somewhat different. Topographical features and a policy of efficient utilisation of the coastline are important reasons for the numerous Norwegian projects in this sector.
Close to thirty subsea road projects were successfully finished. Plans for new projects are abundantly available, some of these with tunnel lengths and depths far beyond the achievements of today.
The engineers have, through a century of underground space application, gained wide experience in underground construction for most utilisation purposes. An able workforce adds to the valuable assets of the society.
We hope this publication can be a useful tool for colleagues and a constructive contribution towards an ever more improved use of the underground.
