Port Said in Egypt
The purpose of the tunnels is to allow greater transit capacity between the highly populated districts of the Nile Delta to the Sinai Peninsula. At present traffic flow is restricted: many people have to use the system of ferries that operate out of Port Said. Stephan: ‘From a technical standpoint, the tunnels will each be 2.8 km long with an internal diameter of 11.40 metres allowing for two lanes of traffic per tunnel..
Crossrail London
The Crossrail project is classified as a Mega Infrastructure project to allow people to live outside of the main central London area yet still have realistic commute times into the work places. Crossrail itself is made up of 42Kms of new tunnels directly beneath the centre of London, which will accommodate full size over ground trains to deliver people from their local stations in places like Maidenhead Berkshire, Shenfield Essex and Abbey Wood Kent so that they can access the London underground system of metro trains..

The Greater Changhua offshore wind farm is being developed at four sites in the Taiwan Strait, approximately 35 kilometres to 60 kilometres offshore the Changhua County in Taiwan. The total power generation capacity of the wind farms is planned to be 2.4GW. This means that, upon completion, the four sites will together form Taiwan’s largest wind power complex, providing power to approximately 2.8 million Taiwanese households..
Hollandse Kust Zuid Project – The Netherlands
The Dutch government aims to realize a local transition in energy supply; by 2023, offshore wind farms will have to be supplying 4,500 megawatts (MW) of power. One of the offshore wind farms being build is Hollandse Kust Zuid. This site is 18 kilometres off the coast, in the area between The Hague and Zandvoort, and will consist of 140 wind turbines..
