Time to maintain
Transport infrastructure is essential for European competitiveness and therefore for Europe’s prosperity. Tunnels are vital assets in this network with high availability requirements. Many of them need significant renovations, but shutting them down for long periods of time is no option. Because of the sheer volume and complexity of the work, these issues need to be addressed on a European scale.
Beyond a tunnel vision
Tunnels play a vital role in infrastructure and many of them in Europe need major renovations. Together with CEDR the COB organises the European conference Beyond a tunnel vision. During this recurring event, big questions are addressed, like: How can tunnels be renovated in a clever way?

International products for tunnels
As some tunnel issues in the Netherlands may also be internationally relevant, a number of COB publications related to tunnels are available in English. This page provides an overview.
Living document renovation tunnels
Many tunnels in the Netherlands need to be renovated in the coming years in order to keep them safe and adapted and smartly maintained to meet changing requirements. This raises all kinds of questions. The COB network seeks to jointly develop, combine and utilize knowledge. This includes knowledge of both organizational and technical aspects. This digital living document bundles this knowledge.
Monitoring strategy tunnels
To properly determine the civil engineering scope of the renovation, it is essential to have the best possible insight into the condition and deformation behaviour of the tunnel. To develop this knowledge, it is important to start monitoring in a more structured way, so that there is more and better data with which to conduct research. To this end, the COB network develops a monitoring strategy.
Living document cybersecurity
Tunnel professionals often have insufficient information about the cybersecurity of their tunnel. The COB network has therefore prepared a so-called living document on this subject. This online manual enables the (tunnel) manager to assess the digital resilience of his object and to optimise the processes in the field of cybersecurity.
