tunnel construction
Subterranean passage building
Tunnel construction is the engineering discipline and process of building underground passages through rock, soil, or other material.
Methods vary by ground conditions—from drill-and-blast in hard rock to tunnel boring machines in softer earth.
The field encompasses planning, excavation, structural support, and ventilation: She specialized in tunnel construction for subway systems.
