ITA Awards – A window on where we are headed

More than celebrating the best-of-the-best, the ITA Tunnelling Awards each year are an indication of:

• Where the industry is heading and how technology is advancing
• Where and how significant underground infrastructure projects are shaping societies
• How the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and renovation of underground infrastructure is evolving; and of
• How the new generation of young engineers are seeing the world and its future needs and demands.
