Digging in: A raft of big infrastructure projects keeps work flowing in for tunnel building companies
Contractors in the tunnel construction industry construct, maintain and repair roads, railways, underground railways and pedestrian tunnels and may also provide services for utility networks, like telecommunications transmission cable routes and sewerage system courses. In the years leading up to the pandemic, tunnelling contractors benefitted from the government, placing the development of critical infrastructure at the forefront of policy. Projects involving extensive tunnelling works like Crossrail, Thames Tideway and High Speed 2 (HS2) drove revenue growth. Over the five years through 2023-24, the tunnel construction industry is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.3% to just over £1 billion.
The Tunnel Construction industry includes civil engineering companies contracted to design, construct and maintain tunnels in the UK. Industry projects can consist of new work, reconstruction and repairs. This industry’s specialism is limited to tunnels and does not include road and highway construction or related activities.
