Recovery lessons (3)Today, 28.04.2009, we are publishing the first tunnelling bid that has resulted directly from the measures announced by various governments to bring forward infrastructure projects as part of the financial recovery process. Norway's Statens vegvesen has made a small, but significant, step in the right direction by phasing work on the Flenja tunnel in Aurland to speed up the bid process. Readers please note the short deadline - you have little more than a week to start the paper trail!Short notice is an inevitable consequence of speeding things up, which is one reason why tunnelbuilder.com is updated daily. We will do as much as we can to highlight each of these bids as they arise, so do keep close contact, and be sure to log on every day. 18/09.
