This document contains summaries of several papers presented at the 3rd International Tunnelling Symposium held in Brighton in June 1982. The summaries describe tunnel construction projects from around the world and discuss various tunnel excavation and support methods. Topics include the use of ground freezing during construction of the Du Toitakloof Tunnel in South Africa, the effects of an artesian aquifer on a tunnel project in Buffalo, New York, and structural design models for tunnel analysis.
