ICE HKA is co-organising a seminar with HKIE GD and PolyU related to underground infrastructure, exploring the complexities of underground infrastructure excellence at our seminar. Discover the evolving design challenges, safety considerations, and regulatory frameworks.

TELT will be the longest rail tunnel in the world when it opens, at a little over 57 km long. This pilot tunnel had one point to prove: was it possible to tunnel through ground with predicted convergences of over 2 m? Spoiler alert, yes, it seems it is.

Join us for an insightful lecture on the expansion of the LA Metro urban rail system, focusing on the engineering challenges of tunnelling in a complex urban environment with active faults, gases, and existing infrastructure.

East West Rail CEO, Beth West, explains how a visionary mindset and systems thinking can help future-proof UK railways. 

The UK’s Geospatial Commission has successfully piloted a national underground asset register to improve how civil engineers share data about buried infrastructure. Neil Brammall, CEO of Utility Survey Exchange Ltd and Holger Kessler, Geoscience Technical Advisor, Geospatial Commission, bring us up …

The sustainable development of urban underground space is an issue which often gets overlooked. Here, Han Admiraal & Antonia Cornaro discuss the concept of underground space development in detail.

The project challenge Until the 1970s, Hong Kong relied on buses and trams to get its population around the city state. As the economy grew – and traffic congestion increased – Hong Kong authorities saw they needed a more efficient way of moving people around the territory. A government-commissioned…

The exhibition explores the future of infrastructure and the role of civil engineers in helping society respond to the challenges of climate change and meet net zero targets by 2050. Featuring original hand-drawn illustrations and animations, six children talk to TV presenter and engineer Rob Bell a…

Build an underground railway network to serve the millions who live in or near Delhi The Delhi metro is an underground railway that serves Delhi in northern India – a city of almost 19 million people. The railway also serves the nearby cities of Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad. The railway i…

Create an efficient rapid transport system for Londoners London's underground rail network – known as the Tube – opened in 1863. Then called the Metropolitan railway and privately owned, it ran for 3 miles from Paddington in the west up to Farringdon. The 2 stations were at either end of the first u…

Hurkmans is a family-run business from Someren, in the Netherlands. It constructs and maintains underground infrastructure, mainly for utilities, laying 30km of new pipes every year in the southern part of the Netherlands. This case study focuses on how hybrid solutions help Hurkmans work more effic…
