Engineering the Channel Tunnel
The Channel Tunnel may be the greatest engineering project in Europe this century. This book describes the tremendous engineering achievement of the construction of the tunnel. Written by twenty of the key engineers involved, it provides a fascinating, informative and inspiring account of the project for both engineering professionals and general readers.
The Chunnel
The railway tunnel, or Chunnel that whisks millions of passengers and vehicles between England and France is an engineering miracle. Built deep under the English Channel with massive tunnel boring machines the Chunnel is the longest undersea tunnel in the world—and one of history’s most fascinating construction projects. Correlates with STEM instruction. Includes glossary, websites, and bibliography for further reading.
The Channel Tunnel
The seven refereed papers in this special issue of ICE Proceedings cover the planning, design and construction of the UK terminal buildings of the -u10 billion Channel Tunnel project. Written by senior members of the project team, the papers place the terminal in context with other surface works and describe its development from concept to construction. Emphasis is given to the complex relationships which existed between the many statutory bodies, interested parties and local populations together with the responses made to concerns on environmental issues.
The Channel Tunnel
A history of the building of the Channel Tunnel, which connects England and France, with emphasis on the difficulties of digging a tunnel where some engineers said it could not be done.
Engineering Geology of the Channel Tunnel
The Channel Tunnel has been called the greatest engineering project of the century, overcoming a unique set of financial, political and engineering challenges. This book provides a comprehensive insight into the events which culminated in the first dry link between Britain and France. It describes the relationship between the site investigation, data interpretation and construction of the works. It examines areas such as the difficulties inherent in predicting geology from a relatively small number of boreholes and revealing how the use of modern geophysical techniques.

Bridging Divides
This study uses the Channel Tunnel between England and France to explore the shifting geographies of nationalism, postcolonialism, and legal autonomy in the formation of the European Union. It looks at regional differences in feelings about Europe and at vocabulary used in discussing the Tunnel.
Transport and Urban Development
This book takes an international perspective on the links between land use, development and transport and present the latest thinking, the theory and practice of these links.
