Working day and night, TS’s crew of unique experts managed to overcome the challenges of wet sand and ever changing conditions and work progressed steadily.

This project was very large and major for the city of Chennai and is to be completed in various phases and Tunnelling Solutions’ completed their job as planned and without incident.
