Founded in 1974, ITA has 53 Member Nations and 281 Affiliate Members. The aims of the ITA are: - to encourage the use of the subsurface for the benefit of public, environment and sustainable development
- to promote advances in planning, design, construction, maintenance and safety of tunnels and underground space, by bringing together information thereon and by studying questions related thereto.


ITA Committee on Underground Space - ITACUS
The ITACUS committee has been set up by ITA to address issues that are seen to be of strategic importance for underground space use and tunnelling. ITACUS has  held its first Open Meeting during the ITA 2009 World Tunnelling and Underground Space Congress in Budapest, Hungary.

Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering Geology (Singapore)

SRMEG Secretariat
1 Liang Seah St, #02-12 Liang Seah Place
Singapore 189022

Tel: 6336 2328   Fax: 6336 2583

The Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering Geology (Singapore), or SRMEG, was formed in July 2006 to provide a forum for the sharing and exchange of knowledge and experience in the areas of rock mechanics, rock engineering, and engineering geology.

The SRMEG has existed since 1998 as an interest group under the Tunnelling and Underground Construction Society Singapore (TUCSS). Since then, interests and activities in rock mechanics and engineering geology have grown, in no small part due to the increasing use of underground cavern facilities and other uses of the underground in land-scarce Singapore.

Laboratory for Theories on Urban Mutations  - French Planning Institute, Paris VIII University

"Urbanisme souterrain : ¨¦tude compar¨¦e exploratoire"

Responsable scientifique : Sabine Barles
pour le compte de l'APUR et dans le cadre des r¨¦flexions conduites sur le r¨¦am¨¦nagement des Halles ¨¤ Paris (2005)

L'objectif de ce travail est d'observer l'utilisation du sous sol dans les centres urbains, en particulier le cas parisien ¨¤ la lumi¨¨re de quelques exp¨¦riences significatives. Ont ¨¦t¨¦ abord¨¦es, dans les cas particuliers de Montr¨¦al et de Tokyo, les questions suivantes : facteurs du d¨¦veloppement : quelles sont les principales causes du recours au sous-sol statut du sous-sol et place du sous-sol dans l'urbanisme et l'am¨¦nagement, typologie des ¨¦quipements souterrains, usages, perception et ¨¦valuation. Le travail est bas¨¦ sur des travaux ant¨¦rieurs de l'auteur, compl¨¦t¨¦s par une recherche bibliographique dans la litt¨¦rature scientifique, le d¨¦pouillement de la revue Tunneling and Underground Space Technology et des actes des conf¨¦rences internationales Espace et urbanisme souterrains, ainsi que sur un contact avec les institutions locales (Urban underground Space Centre of Japan, Observatoire de la Ville int¨¦rieure de Montr¨¦al...)
