Well represented: Our expertise in ITA commitees and working groups

At ITACUS we believe in an urban underground future. The urban underground space in our experience is an often overlooked asset of cities. An asset that could play vital role in the quest many cities are undertaking to combat lack of space. Cities need space for housing, for infrastructure but also for public spaces. As demands on cities grow in terms for spatial requirements, they also have to cope with climate change, in terms of both mitigation and adaptation and need to become more resilient in terms of natural disasters. The urban underground can be solution to lot of these issues.

The committee for education and training was established in 2007 in order to promote education and training throughout the tunneling and underground space association and assists its coordination.

ITA-COSUF is the centre of excellence for world-wide exchange of information and know-how regarding safety and security of underground facilities in operation.

The main goal of the ITyoung members is to be technical network platform for young professionals and students in the tunnelling and underground space industry.

The group's objective is to create an overview of the typical challenges of urban city planning and the solutions which are offered by the underground space.

The group's focus is the preparation of guidelines for the owners of tunnels to support the life cycle asset management.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems allow to deliver quality engineering to owners and contractors. The process requires skills, tools and robust procedures. The group's goal is to share experiences with BIM as working tool and to implement exceptional standards and guidelines which are driven by the building industry.
