About

This informative nonfiction book takes young readers step by step through the fascinating process of building a tunnel, beginning with the initial need for a tunnel and continuing through planning, excavation, construction, safety testing, and completion. 

Readers learn how engineers examine soil and rock, identify underground obstacles, prepare construction sites, and use specialized equipment such as tunnel-boring machines to excavate beneath the ground. Full-color photographs and a timeline help children visualize the sequence of events and understand how many stages and workers are involved in transforming an engineering plan into a finished tunnel. A glossary, additional resources, an author’s note, and an index provide further information and reinforce the engineering and construction concepts introduced throughout the book.
