SYNOPSIS

Underground tunnel construction is a strategic choice aimed at conserving land resources, preventing traffic and utility disruptions, and minimizing adverse effects on the local community for many countries including Malaysia. Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are employed to excavate tunnels and establishing the underground network based on risk assessment and geological analysis.
