EuroTAP Awards Ceremony and Launch of Audit Report
On 22 January, the European Tunnel Assessment Programme (EuroTAP) published its final Audit Report highlighting Europe's best and worst tunnels out of 152 tested over a three year period in 18 countries. The EuroTAP Audit Report, a 150-page work of reference, compiled on CD Rom provides the latest information on the state of tunnels in Europe together with interactive training materials, videos and a unique data base detailing everything to know about the operators and tunnels inspected.
At the presentation of the Audit Report, Europe's safest tunnels tested between 2005 and 2007 received for the first time ever the “European Tunnel Award”. The award winning tunnels included the Ottsdorf Tunnel, Austria, the Markusberg Tunnel, Luxembourg, the M-12 Tunnel, Spain, and the Brinje Tunnel, Croatia.
