The Channel Tunnel was a huge construction project, employing over 14,000 people at its peak, and costing over #11 billion of private money. This book follows the project, and shows how it has succeeded in spite of great financial, political and technical difficulties, and a fundamentally flawed contract. This book should be of interest to professionals involved in tunnelling, contractors, tunnelling and railway engineers, surveyors, planners; politicians; financiers; bankers and others concerned with planning or financing major projects; and the general reader interested in the story of the Tunnel.
