The Channel Tunnel has been making headlines this week, with thousands of migrants attempting to use it to make their way illegally into the UK, but it isn’t the only immersed European tunnel to make the news in July. This month, a new project is continuing which will see an immersed tunnel built from Germany to Denmark under the Baltic sea. According to Maritime Professional, the tunnel will become part of the “Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor,” and, like any good tunnel project, it kicked off this month with a geotechnical engineering company performing cone penetration testing as part of a preliminary investigation on the project. At Thorcon Shotcrete and Shoring here in Littleton, Colorado, we are always happy to see good geotechnical work get into the news, especially when the commitment of other companies so matches our own.
Fugro, the geotechnical company who performed the investigation, was praised for providing a “tailored technical solution and cost-effective execution.” We pride ourselves on providing the same perks to our clients throughout Colorado and states in the surrounding region. Our team of civil engineers create custom solutions for all projects and our team implements those solutions with time, budget and—most importantly—safety as top considerations. Whether we are involved with large-scale infrastructure shoring projects, installing architectural shotcrete in parking lots, or devising slope stabilization solutions using the latest techniques, our team always provides custom, quality work.
Get in touch with us today and you’ll be working with a company who has just as good a reputation with our clients as Fugro now has with the Scandinavian region. We implement geotechnical projects both near and far from our home outside Denver, and each gets the detail-oriented attention which keeps workers, passengers, pedestrians and budgets safe.
