Every day, beneath our feet, teams of men and women dedicate their lives to unearthing the underground space. As growing populations and urbanisation mount pressure on the already strained infrastructure of our cities, these men and women work round the clock to relieve the surface from our roads, rail, waterways and more. Tunnelling is still a young industry, with tunnellers carving our future landscape as they expand our use of underground space.

In this new podcast, brought to you by the team behind the Engineering Matters podcast, and in partnership with the British Tunnelling Society, we will go to the cutting edge of tunnelling, we will see how digital technologies are making a young industry safer and helping bring projects to life that were previously thought impossible or unaffordable.

We will explore advances in tunnelling technology, improvements in safety, we will hear from leading experts, and industry disrupters. We will share lessons from failures and celebrate successes. We will tell the story of how far this industry has come and where these tunnellers are taking us next.

We will do all this in The Tunnelling Podcast
