Description

First, the Annual General Meeting of Members will take place. This will be followed by a simple sandwich meal, after which this year there will again be a number of interesting substantive lectures followed by an opportunity for discussion:
* Zinc Tunnels in motion: What are the specific characteristics of Zinc Tunnels? What are the consequences of settlements? What is being monitored and are all the consequences observable?
* Hybrid TBMs: For Dutch tunnels very relevant recent developments on these tunnel boring machnies, told by someone from the German firm Maidl und Maidl.
* Sinking in China; recent developments. An overview following the recent TTOW study tour.
* Venice dry feet: To cope with the water nuisance in St Mark's Square in Venice, the MOSE project has been developed. This project provides for a movable storm surge barrier in the three flow holes. Strukton Immersion Projects has been commissioned to sink 8 caissons with a tolerance of +/- 10 mm in the Chioggia Inlet.
