Technical Committee on Tunneling (TCT)

ALL COMMITTEES

ARMA’s Technical Committee on Tunneling (TCT) leads the community of ARMA members interested in tunneling and underground construction in rocks. TCT’s goal is to advance the tunneling field by sharing technical knowledge on new methods, equipment, and materials for construction and support of underground excavations. The objectives of TCT are to organize technical sessions at annual symposium, develop and offer workshops and webinars on tunneling, and collaborate with other committees in professional societies.
