Carving out the underground space for railways, roads, waterways, urban development and even fishing and farming is how some men and women spend their entire careers. The tunnelling industry offers great opportunities for travel and adventure at the cutting edge of our understanding or geology, rock and soil mechanics and machines.

Keith Bannerman happened upon tunnelling early in his career and was hooked. Now, as chair of the International Tunnelling Association Young Members Committee he is trying to help others realise their future underground.

We sat down with Keith last month while he was on a visit to London to ask what got him hooked and what advice he has for others.
