What we do

Tunnel Info Services is a competitive intelligence and market watch agency specialised in the identification and tracking of tunnel projects around the world, with experience of 30 years.

Through its specific research techniques, diversified sources together with multiple contacts within the tunnelling industry (owners and awarding authorities, financing institutions, planners, engineering consultants, geologists, contractors, subcontractors, specialist contractors and suppliers of machinery, equipment and materials), Tunnel Info Services supplies reliable, detailed and cost-effective business and competitive intelligence on the world’s tunnelling market.

We provide a big volume of accurate data about international tunnel projects in the five continents. Our strategic in-depth information covers upcoming new tunnel projects from identification to follow-up throughout all the development stages. We also deal with the rehabilitation and safety upgrades of existing tunnels (both study and work phases) as well as their maintenance.

You are also informed on corporate news (acquisitions and mergers, partnerships, etc.), the latest inaugurations (the ultimate achievement of a tunnel project), important innovations & R&D and the main business events.

Whether it is about a new tunnel or the rehabilitation and upgrade of an existing tunnel, you will find:

• invitations to tender related to the study and work phases;
• the names of bidders when available (possibly the prequalified or shortlisted companies);
• the contracts just awarded (engineering studies, civil works, interior fit-out works, upgrade works);
• the ongoing advance at the worksites (preparatory or early works, start and end of civil works, installation of electro-mechanical equipment, safety and traffic systems;
• maintenance and safety during operation).
  
  Our information covers the full spectrum of a project’s life until its entry in service (new tunnel) and after it (existing tunnel): feasibility studies, conceptual design, detailed design, public consultation, environment impact statement, civil works, fit-out works, maintenance and safety upgrades after commissioning or heavy refurbishment after some time in service as well as work supervision during these stages of a project development and service life.

All types of tunnels are covered:

• roads/motorways;
• metro/urban/long-distance rail;
• water and wastewater,
  energy production (gas, oil, hydropower, nuclear power);
• energy distribution (electricity, gas, heating);
• deep repositories for nuclear waste;
• optical fibres, telecom and other cables,
  cycling and pedestrian tunnels;
• airports (baggage handling and people mover tunnels);
  logistics and freight tunnels;
  garbage collection/transportation tunnels;
• research and training (particle accelerators/colliders, firefighting testing and practice, etc.);
• river and sea navigation,
  mining using TBMs.
