Maintenance of Tunnels: An Indispensable Part of Sustainability
Tunnels are an indispensable part of sustainable modern transport infrastructure. Compared to other civil structures, which often show a lifetime of 50 years only, tunnels are multi-generation structures. The aim, therefore, is to reach lifetimes of 100 to 200 years, which makes the life cycle assessment and maintenance of tunnels even more important.
