Tunnel Enginering

Due to route and space restrictions as well as environmental concerns, tunnelling is becoming an increasingly prevalent solution in many countries. Governments are seeking to improve transportation networks to meet the rising demand of traffic within cities and metropolitan areas without affecting the existing infrastructure and the movement of vehicles on the ground. While tunnel engineering can be considered an appealing solution, it is rather challenging and complex throughout all its stages.

This is mainly due to the need to carry out operations and construction work underground without disturbing the ground surface, which is usually requires input data from a number of related disciplines. Lipaña provides collaborative support for authorities and stakeholders in sustaining the growth of communities and allowing people and freight to move more freely throughout the delivery and maintenance of a reliable tunnel project.
