Tunnel linings refer to the permanent or temporary structural layers placed inside a tunnel to provide reinforcement and stability. These linings act as a barrier between the tunnel’s interior and the surrounding geology, minimizing risks like rockfalls, water ingress, and ground deformation.

When constructing tunnels, ensuring structural integrity and worker safety is paramount. Two critical elements in achieving this are shotcrete concrete and tunnel safety protocols. Let’s explore how these components work together to create safer, more durable underground environments.
