Interesting, thanks. Nepal has been quickly gaining local capacity for tunneling projects for tunnels for its many hydro projects to larger automobile tunnels (latest in Lamjung) and much delayed Melamchi tunnel coming on line soon to bring drinking water to Kathmandu valley and to a just initiated and first ever for Nepal a tunnel boring machine and river connecting project the Bheri Babai Diversion and to the planned Kathmandu – Terai (flatlands) Fast Track road / tunnel. Last three still with mostly foreign mgt but all furthering Nepalese engineering capacity. What Nepal needs now is make further gains in national financing capacity.
This week’s Big Design Question takes on the issue of cost versus environmental friendliness. The question is part of our weekly series that tests the design principles for creating appropriate...
Where is the tunnelling info?
