When an engineer who's been in the tunnelling game for nearly 40 years, having cut his teeth on London Underground's Victoria Line, the London Ring Main, the Channel Tunnel and the Jubilee Line to name but a few, describes his current project as one of the toughest he's ever worked on, you know it's been hard graft. The engineer in question is Peter South, tunnelling contracts director for UK contractor Amec. The project is London's 2.5km long Docklands Light Railway extension that will further the DLR from its current terminus at the King George V Dock via twin 1.8km, 5.3m i.d tunnels under the River Thames to Woolwich Arsenal.
