WELCOME at the DARTS website.
DARTS is an RTD-project on Durable and Reliable Tunnel Structures.

It was the objective of DARTS to develop operational methods and supporting practical tools for the best pro-active decision-making process for choosing, in each individual case, the cost optimal tunnel type and construction procedures regarding environmental conditions, technical qualities, safety precautions and long service life.

The project was performed in the period 2001 - 2004 by a partnership of eight European companies. The DARTS-project is performed with financial support of the European Communities under the Fifth Framework Programme, Competitive and Sustainable Growth Programme (GROWTH 2000).

The project was succesfully finished.
