The 1991 Rapid Excavation and Tunneling Conference, the tenth gathering of the industry, selected Seattle, Washington, for the presentation. The purpose of the conference is to share and promulgate advances in the state-of-the-art of underground construction and the innovative solutions to the inherent problems associated with this work. A truly international event, one-third of the presentations are from foreign countries. Mammoth projects highlighted include: the Channel Tunnels between England and France and the Great Belt Tunnels in Denmark, the Superconducting Super Collider Project, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Boston Harbor Project, and the Passaic River Basin Tunnel.
