Tunneling and Underground Space Technology

Tunneling and Underground Space Technology involves the design and construction of tunnels and facilities below the earth's surface. This technology allows for transportation systems like subways, utilities like water and sewage systems, and storage spaces, all shielded from surface disruptions. Engineers use various methods, such as drilling and blasting or shield tunneling, to create these structures while ensuring safety and stability. This field plays a crucial role in urban development, minimizing land use and reducing environmental impact, making it essential for modern infrastructure and expanding urban spaces.
