ATC² Symposium

Challenges in Tunnelling

Causes - Impacts - Mitigation Measures

About the Symposium

ATC2 stands for Austrian Tunnel Competence Center and represents a platform for innovation and know-how transfer in the field of tunnel construction. In addition to developments in the field of the traditional sequential NATM tunnelling method, continuous tunnelling and special underground construction measures are also dealt with. Special challenges and innovations from deep-lying rock tunnelling to urban (shallow) soft ground tunnelling are taken into account.

A long, cylindrical tunnel is constructed with brick and metal materials. The tunnel is illuminated by natural light filtering through openings at the far end. There is a metal walkway with grated sections running along the center of the tunnel, with railings on the side. A large pipe runs parallel to the walkway, resting on gravel.

A modern tunnel with sleek, futuristic design elements features a curved pathway with overhead linear lighting. The ceiling is composed of parallel lines of lights, creating a dynamic pattern that enhances the perspective depth. There is a long, winding walkway with smooth surfaces, enclosed by a combination of glass and smooth stone or concrete walls. Two figures can be seen in the distance, adding a sense of scale.

A long tunnel with two lanes and modern lighting, presenting a sense of motion blur. A car can be seen driving in the right lane, heading towards the distant vanishing point in the tunnel. The walls are uniformly light-colored with dark ceiling and bright, linear lights running along the central line above.
