Abstract

The first 74 km Section of the £ 5.2 billion Channel Tunnel Rail Link is entirely in Kent – ‘the Garden of England’. This paper reports on the environmental management system that was set up to minimise the potentially huge environmental risks and impact of the scheme throughout its design and construction. In addition to management issues it reports on the approaches taken to relocating wildlife and controlling noise and vibration.
