It can't be often that a Westpoint graduate finds themselves working on a tunnelling project, at least not in the UK. But to Linda Miller, with her globetrotting background in which only the military can emulate engineering, it is probably nothing that unusual. To one who has taken delight in blasting rocks from a US Army helicopter, the necessarily more careful activities in reconstructing the Connaught Tunnel in London's Docklands could seem a bit tame, even as project manager. But Miller seems to enjoy most types of challenge, approaching them with great enthusiasm, and the Connaught Tunnel certainly is a challenge. Here the original ideas for making this route useable for Crossrail have had, due to site circumstances, to be put in the waste-bin, and a new approach followed (see report in the next issue, T&TI June 2012).
