Abstract
The environmental affectations in which the use of the underground space can incur are mainly the modification of the underground water conditions and the perturbation of the surface by the same construction process and by the final disposal of the excavated material. Also, the construction of underground works is a risky activity by itself. All these factors have been causes in not considering certain underground solutions to solve problems at the surface. Nevertheless, in the last twenty years, the underground engineering has reached important developments in technology and construction methods, which allow nowadays the execution of interesting, secure and environmental solutions in many big conurbations. The present article presents some arguments and shows the actual state of the art and technology in this field, in order to promote a more intensively underground space usage for solving diverse and common problems on the surface.
