Tunnels are expensive. As a rule of thumb a rail tunnel of about 10m in diameter costs about £30m per kilometre, says Bill Grose, former chairman of the British Tunnelling Society.

'''1872, a Humber Tunnel was being discussed.For the next hundred years, a debate raged over whether a tunnel or bridge should be built, with hundreds of proposals put forward. The tunnel failed at almost every turn, with the Humber clay making it almost impossible to dig and test bore holes quickly filling up with estuary waters.'''

Humber gas pipeline tunnel
£150 million construction of the new 5km long tunnel 3.63-4m diameter, sit 7m below the estuary, at a maximum depth of 35m. A construction period of 12 months is specified for the tunnelling work, and 35 months for full completion of the project. A 30m deep 4.4km x 3-3.5m diameter segmentally lined TBM-bored tunnel crossing in preference to dredging and horizontal drilling construction techniques. investigations reveal a geology composed mainly of clay, silt and sand

The planned tunnel and new pipeline will replace an existing pipeline known as Feeder 9 which was laid close to the proposed route of the tunnel in 1984 in a trench in the boulder clay excavated by a cutter dredging vessel. changes in sea bed have left sections of this pipeline exposed.

HS1 Thames Tunnel
The River Thames Tunnel a 2.5 km (1.5 mile) tunnel for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL), also known as High Speed 1 (HS1) Tough it: Highly fissured, flint-laden chalk made the Thames tunnel the single most risky element of HS1. Fissures meant the ground was saturated. Flints threatened to wreck the TBM. To control risk a slurry machine with rock crushers was used.
 * Cutting edge- Two Herrenknecht cutter heads, changeable for each tunnel, were used to cope with hard flint buried within the chalk.
 * Under Pressure- Because the ground under the the Thames id waterlogged the TBM's had to work hard under up to 4bar pressure.
 * Cross section - The 3km long tunnels were 8,5m in diameter and driven with a Herrenknecht mixshield slurry tunnel boring machine
