Abstract

The article discusses the Galleria Val di Sambro tunnels constructed by conventional methods and the Sparvo tunnels constructed using tunnel boring machine (TBM) in Italy. It anticipates that 90% of heavy commercial vehicles will be using the tunnels with savings in fuel and travelling time. Preliminary and final design of the tunnels was released by SPEA Ingegneria Europea SpA which will also supervise the construction of the two tunnels.
