Women in Tunneling

Traditionally a male-dominated industry, tunneling is slowly beginning to attract more women as engineers, project managers, writers, and more. The number of women working in tunneling has increased in recent years, and we want to maintain the trend.

By gathering, networking, and spreading our message, we hope to bring light to the importance of women in tunneling, and find ways to encourage more women to get involved in this exciting field.
