Celebrating Construction Project

The press is always quick to jump on construction projects when they overrun and overspend.  As an industry it's expected, anticipated and accepted to have the bad press.

Well today it'd be nice to see some positive press about the fantastic successes that construction projects achieve; just look at the London2012 venues!

They are stunning pieces of engineering.

They should be celebrated.

Celebrated as the local news is doing for the A3 Hindhead Tunnel which will today open to traffic.  This massive piece of engineering will remove the traffic from the edge of the SSSI Devil's Punch Bowl and instead route it underground through amazing tunnels.

Come on national news, let's celebrate!
Construction industry, you rock!

Yes I'm biased!  I was a civil engineer prior to motherhood and I worked on hundreds of construction projects including the Hindhead Tunnel.
