ITA prepares a 'Tunnelling Week' for September

1 July 2021


To complement its Tunnelling Awards, ITA-AITES (the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association) has announced that it is organising a week dedicated to tunnelling and underground space knowledge transfer and debate.

To take place on 20-24 September 2021, the online event will be accessed through the ITA’s digital platform and allow live debates, conferences, pre-recorded sessions, an exhibition hall and sponsoring.

Presentations from ITA Member Nations will include ongoing and future tunnel projects globally, as well as 10 conferences of two-hour duration available either live or post-event on the digital platform. These will cover themes such as underground space planning, structural use of fibre-reinforced concrete in segments, tunnel refurbishment, health and safety, as well as presentations from the latest ITA Working Groups and Committees. In addition, a full two-hour session will be prepared by ITA Young Member groups from various countries. All sessions will include a panel discussion.

To promote the Awards and Tunnelling Week, the ITA has launched a call for partners who will be offered dedicated sponsorship opportunities for either or both of the events.
