  Environment and health monitoring for the exploratory tunnel of La Maddalena

  The new line between Turin (Italy) and Lyon (France) will be the central and key part of the East-West “Mediterranean Corridor” , one of three major rail lines passing South of the Alps planned by the European Union (see figure 1). The bi-national cross-border section between Italy and France includes a 57.5 km-long 8.70 m-diameter single-way twin tube base tunnel, one of the longest in the world, which crosses the Alps at an elevation of approximately 600 m, roughly 45 km in France and 12.5 km in Italy (see figure 2). Construction of the base tunnel is expected to start between late 2015 and early 2016. Design of the base tunnel includes four exploratory adits.
