Ottawa's Confederation Line runs from Tunney's Pasture in the west to Blair station in the east, is 12.5 km long and includes 15 stations. The central piece is a 2.5 km long tunnel, running under the central business district of the city, including 3 underground stations. The twin track running tunnel and 3 underground stations were designed using the mined construction method in order to minimise surface disruption. The underground stations are located adjacent to existing, sensitive and historic buildings and required detailed risk mitigation measures during design. An innovative engineering solution involving a tailor-made excavation sequence and permanent tension ties spanning the cavern was developed.

Bank Station is a London Underground station located in the City of London financial district. It is a key interchange served by five lines. The Bank Station Capacity Upgrade (BSCU) aims to relieve heavy passenger congestion during peak hours for boarding, alighting and interchange. The capacity upgrade comprises the construction of a new southbound platform tunnel and associated length of running tunnel for the Northern line, connecting passageways to the existing station tunnels, and the provision of step-free access from King William Street. The total length of tunnels is 1,300m with tunnel cross sections that range from 10m² up to 90m².
