dc.description.abstractWhat has the mining industry done for underground civil construction and what is the civil construction industry doing in return? The first answer to this question is easy – the mining industry has trained and educated young mining engineers who have then found employment in civil tunnelling projects. What makes a mining engineer such a good prospect for civil tunnelling work? Firstly they know the underground environment, but not only do they know and understand the underground environment but because their training and education is so well rounded in electrical and mechanical engineering, structural engineering, geology and geotechnical engineering, they can put their minds to all the everyday challenges that the fields of underground excavation present.en_US
