The construction of the 51 km long Abwasserkanal Emscher (AKE) sewer tunnel is the largest individual project to improve the River Emscher in the Ruhr, Germany and is technically and financially one of the greatest challenges that the Emschergenossenschaft as client and their construction partners have ever had to overcome. Among the individual construction sections of the major project, construction section (BA) 40 is exceptional, not only because of its construction with segment lining.
The International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA) has been collecting data on international tunnel and underground construction since 2011. A first global market analysis was compiled in 2014. For the second overview, presented at the WTC 2017 in Bergen, the ITA member nations (73 countries) have once again been involved in collecting and checking the data. In total, information from 89 countries and 2300 projects was included in the recent analysis. This second market analysis clearly shows that the tunnelling market has a considerable size, with a global annual output of 86 billion euros.
