Cut and cover construction is well suited to shallow tunnels which can be economically excavated from the surface. Some disadvantages associated with this Tunneling method are the deep cutting of busy city streets; space constraints; and potential disruptions to citizens, existing utilities, and adjacent structures. Therefore, proposed construction schemes for cut and cover works must demonstrate that no adjacent structure will be adversely impacted, and public disruptions will be minimal.

Bouw has the expertise to develop schemes that not only require less space but also ensure overall safety and robustness. With the help of realistic numerical modeling and analysis, Bouw comes up with cost-effective designs.
