Résumé: -

Remarks: Waterways present major obstacles to the planner of transport infrasttucture. As transportation and other

infrastructure networks grow, it is often water which obstructs the final link in the chain. The aim of this book

is to help those who commission new infrastructure to appriciate immeresed tunnels - a type of construction

which is widley used today, but not so widely understood and which can present an attractive alternative to

either bridge crossings or bored tunnels.
