It was an exciting time in Belgrade, celebrating the exceptional projects and technologies presented by the ITA Tunnelling Awards finalists and congratulating the Gold, Silver and Bronze Brunel trophies and the Highly Commended Brunel medal winners. 

It is a prized accolade, a coveted trophy, and an industry-wide recognition that is cherished. Winners of the ITA Tunnelling Awards each year join an honour list of outstanding projects, innovations and individuals of the past 10 years since the series was introduced in 2015. 

This year the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, and highly commended finalists, hale from 11 countries of the world and represent all facets of the underground infrastructure industry, including four rail, five metro, five road projects; two water and wastewater treatment projects; two immersed tubes; five TBM, three drill+blast and two rehabilitation applications; a story book to inspire the young; a project to uplift remote rural communities; and six outstanding young professionals in whose hands the future of the industry is vested.

We congratulate all the winners, finalists, and entries of the 2025 ITA Tunnelling Awards and invite everyone involved in the widest range of international underground infrastructure development to prepare entries for the ITA Tunnelling Awards of 2026. The call for nominations will launch in Spring 2026 and the Awards symposium day and trophy presentations will be held in Lisbon, hosted in collaboration with the Portuguese Tunnelling and Underground Space Commission (CPT) and its 20th Anniversary Celebration Conference from 4-6 November 2026. Together our industry builds a better world for all.
