Tarcisio
Celestino, new President (2016-2019) of the International Tunnelling and
Underground Space Association.
“This is a big congress,
as we all know at this moment the biggest congress in ninety history and
of course it could expect that beign in
the United States, but on the other hand we did not see this in 1996 the
congress also hear it was not so significant as it is now so. One good thing about this many good things about this
congress but one of them is that being so big it how loud the number of
technical sessions also to be large number
and I cannot think of any
important subjet in tunneling that wich has not been covered in at least one
technical session.
I‘d say the major, our major role, is to increase the
talon market it has been increasing but on the other hand we still see that
there is a lot of demand for underground
works things wich are still constructed on surface wich should not and this is
what we should influence most; in other
words the activity of why go underground use of underground space if we can
improve that.
I´m very sure that all the other activities will come
also with their improvements it will be a consequence good role that. I had
in this sense is to influence the member nations to start because we cannot
just go to a constant that directly to the government, it´s much easier if we do that throuh the
member nations their role of member nations to approach government and in each
country and influence and show how underground solutions are much better in
some situations.
I´m very sure that the benefits of this congress will
take longer to take some time to digest and have a good sense and that the
results will do very good and will not feel them next month, it will something
wich for the next 12 months we´re coming up“.
