“11,000t tunnel” – how do you measure a tunnel in tonnes? The article doesn’t explain. After reading the article end to end twice, I concluded it was probably the mass of the prefabricated concrete element. Maybe this is obvious to the usual readers of New Civil Engineering. But to me, it looks like a classic case of a writer failing to appreciate what assumptions and knowledge your reader may well not share with you.
