The increasing size and population density of metropolitan areas and the along going traffic demands lead to the construction of large infrastructure projects. The construction of new underground structures has an influence on existing superstructures and the deconstruction of existing buildings has an influence on existing underground structures. To guarantee the stability and the serviceability of underground structures and the influenced neighbouring buildings independent peer review processes during planning, design and construction are necessary. The independent peer review is based on the 4-eye-principle and helps to avoid time delay in the construction process, modifications of the construction, additional expenditure and in extreme cases even damages and accidents. The paper explains the independent peer review processes and focuses on the application at challenging tunnel projects in urban areas.
