Online website Research and Markets is offering a report titled “Underground Infrastructures, Planning, Design and Construction”. The report has been carried out by Elsevier Science and Technology. In today’s era when population is increasing steadily gas and water, tunnels and sewers form the foundation of any city.
Particularly in areas that are densely populated, transportation needs will also increase. Some areas may not allow the construction of any new road or railways. In such a scenario a tunnel could be the only option. The right amount of planning, design and construction is necessary for any such underground infrastructure.
The report has dealt with all topics beginning from basic definitions and classifications of underground space and the various engineering and geological factors that have to be considered while designing and planning of such structures. Separate chapters deal with underground water storage, car parks, road tunnels, metros and storage for natural gas, oil and LPG. Major applications where underground structures could be used are hydroelectric projects, underground storage of food items and underground nuclear repositories. These have been discussed in detail in the report. This report will be of particular benefit to civil engineers, geotechnical engineers and mining engineers.
