Which is just wot I said in my earlier post!


Ah. Yes. But "tunnelling collapse" doesn't always produce a sink
hole. The Crossrail one for example.

But there was another in the middle of Heathrow when they were
building HEx (with the same sort of sprayed concrete design as
Crossrail).


That was the aforementioned NATM incident.
