About us

The British Tunnelling Society (BTS) is an Associated Society of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and is one of the most vibrant gatherings of professional tunnellers in the world. Formed in 1971 to provide a forum for meetings and discussion on tunnel-related matters, the BTS also publishes industry guidelines and codes of practice; conducts training courses to advance the education of tunnelling professionals; actively supports the recruitment of young people to the industry; acknowledges excellence in tunnelling; sponsors and supports industry conferences; and advises Government and the general public on the tunnelling industry. The British Tunnelling Society maintains a leading role in the development of the tunnelling industry to promote the safe, efficient, sustainable, and technically advanced design, construction and use of underground space. The BTS calls on a long tradition of tunnelling in Britain to continue industry-wide development of this vital field of civil engineering. The society was a key player in the founding of the International Tunnelling Association (ITA) in 1974 and represents the UK on its General Assembly. Individual and corporate members are working on underground projects of all types and purpose throughout the world. The BTS supports a Young Members branch, who are active in schools and universities in promoting tunnelling as a career.
