TUNCONSTRUCT is a multi-disciplinary research project
that promotes the development and implementation of European technological
innovation in underground construction. Bustling at its core is the vigorous
participation of some of Europe´s best recognized names in the underground
engineering industry.
The project´s 41 partners, from 11 European countries, integrate
not only the on-the-field engineering experience and technical know-how
of the industry, but also the research capabilities and conceptual innovation
of the academic sector.
TUNCONSTRUCT is fully committed to contributing to an increased quality
of life for Europeans by reducing construction time and cost of planned
and future underground infrastructures.
The project is co-financed by the European Commission, under its 6th
framework program, which provides 54% of its 26 million Euro quadrennial
budget. Coordination rests on the Graz University of Technology, Austria.
