Reply on topic: 5 dead after a subway tunnel (under construction) collapses in east China
I am sorry but there must be some deficiencies in work environment safety. It is very rare to hear 5 people die in one accident in tunnel construction. To be honest, I have never heard such a case.Reply on topic: Drilling phase of the Jefferson Barracks Tunnel reaches completion

Hi Loi, I know that almost every tunnel construction uses some chemicals. Also in the USA. My point is, in some tunneling applications, there seems to be no concern for environment in anyway. I think the China-Laos Railway tunnel is an unfortunate example of it.
