Birmingham Airport Road Tunnel Site Investigation - 2001

Engineer's Representative supervising the site investigations for the proposed A45 road tunnel south of Birmingham Airport.


Monitoring drilling and shell and auger boring, when drilling recovery indicated it was uneconomic to continue using that methodology, I re-planned the works to adopt only shell and auger, saving approximately 10% of the investigation budget.
