The North American Tunneling Conference (NAT), held in Portland, OR in June, attracted 773 underground space professionals from around the world. The accompanying exhibit attracted 97 vendors, who displayed the latest in tunneling and underground space equipment and services.
The attendees spent the three days of technical sessions listening to international authors discuss the state of the industry, new technologies that have become available and updates on major tunneling projects throughout the world. The papers are published in the North American Tunneling 2010 Proceedings.
In addition to the technical sessions and the exhibit, the NAT featured two short courses — “Grouting in Underground Construction” and “Soft Ground Tunneling.” And the post-meeting field trip to the East Side CSO Tunnel Project was sold out.
Complete coverage of the NAT conference will be published in the September issue of Tunneling & Underground Construction magazine.
