Overview
What does it take to deliver complex tunnelling works beneath London while working alongside operational Underground infrastructure?
In this lecture Matt Hubble shares practical lessons from major London projects, exploring how complex SCL (sprayed concrete lining) tunnel geometries can be successfully planned, set out and delivered through strong communication and quality management.
He'll also look at the challenges of working on and around London Underground assets, from design development and approvals to project-wide collaboration and stakeholder coordination, providing practical insights into the people, processes and planning behind successful underground engineering.
The event will also include a recap of BTSYM activities in 2026 and a look forward into 2027.
Following the lecture, there will be a networking session in the ICE Kendal's bar.
