Nearly 30 tunnel projects worldwide entered the short list after the first-round selection. The Immersed Tunnel of the HZMB became the Winner of the prestigious ITA Tunnelling and Underground Space Awards in the category “Major Project of the Year 2018”
Since 2008, Tunnel Engineering Consultants (TEC) was the key consultant to the Client Organization HZMB Authority for design and construction consultation of this immersed tunnel including the artificial islands that provide the transition from the tunnel to the bridge sections on either side.

I thank the International Tunnel Association and all the international judges for their recognition of the project. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has gathered the experience of the whole world and the glory belongs to all the shareholders. I will bring the trophy and the certificate back to Zhuhai and keep it in the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Museum forever. ” After the meeting, Mr. Zhu told Ying Li, “I thank for the great contribution TEC made for our project!”
