The UK’s second National Tunnelling Day will take place on Thursday 1st December 2016. The aim of the day is to generate interest in the great number of world class tunnelling projects currently being undertaken in the UK and to promote the industry (and its many professions) to students of all ages and the general public. The day is an annual event on the first Thursday of December chosen due to its proximity to the Feast Day of St. Barbara, traditionally seen as the Patron Saint of Tunnellers in the UK. Dr. Sauer & Partners will be joining in the celebrations.
