The pedigree Switzerland has for hosting international events and institutions in Geneva will be furthered in May as tunnellers gather for WTC 2013. The annual conference is a highlight of the technical calendar for underground construction and builds on the success last year of the conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Aside from the scientific achievements in the area such as the confirmation of the Higgs-Boson particle at the CERN laboratory, the country is surrounded by some of the most impressive offerings, and future visions of the tunnelling industry. Nestled in the Alps, titanic local projects have included the Gotthard base tunnel, the longest transport tunnel in the world, and will see future world-beaters such as Brenner take the crown in years to come.
