Norway is home to the longest road tunnel in the world, and since it was completed, it has transformed the transport system in parts of the country. Costing a sum of $113 million, the Laerdal tunnel is a sight to behold. Sometime in June 1992, the Parliament in Norway commissioned a project. What was it for? The project was to build the longest road tunnel on earth to cover a distance of 24.5 kilometers from Aurland and the Laerdal new highways to connect Bergen and Oslo, the capital of Norway. The Parliament approved the project to cover a section of the country known for its mountainous ranges and narrow roads with several fjord crossings. The Laerdal tunnel has a ferry-free extension with a reliable road link between two of Norway’s largest cities. The government made the decision to build the tunnel due to the strategic importance of the route. Rather than refurbish the road, planners decided to build the tunnel because this move will avoid the risks of causing rock falls. So therefore, the tunnel was seen as the more justifiable alternative to avoid the destruction of the region’s natural landscape.

A video case study of The Shard is a great story that demonstrates what can be achieved with the right mix of outlandish ambition, determination, ‘aggressive charm’ and teamwork. And the quiet pride that comes through from both the client, Irvine Sellar and the WSP team is almost tangible. http://www.wsp.com/en-GL/projects/the-shard

Engineering designs often remain hidden behind the iconic forms of buildings that we love or have a strong association with. The Leadenhall Building is an exemplar of the symbiotic relationship that exists between architecture and engineering. Developing ideas that can be traced back to Rogers’ and Arup’s early collaborations from the design of Centre Pompidou in the 1970s, in Paris, The Leadenhall Building is an unashamedly ambitious exercise in architectural engineering.

How the Forth Bridges – the first completed in the 19th century, the second in the 20th century and the latest in the 21st century – each represent the engineering pinnacle of their day.
