South Asia
The total tunnel-related construction pipeline in South Asia is about US$24 billion. The region comprises - ranked in decreasing order of total tunnel-related project pipeline value - India, being larger by multiples over the following main nations spending which are Nepal and Pakistan. About one-third of the total pipeline activity of
tunnel-related infrastructure projects in the region is pre-planning and planning stages of development, in total; the majority in pre-execution and execution phases. Tunnel-related Highways & Roads projects feature
most in investments in this entire region - particularly so in India (although it has many Rail & Metro developments) but also in Nepal and Bangladesh. The Transport pipeline in India is just over US$14 billion, which is more than half of all tunnel-related activities in the entire region. Of that sum in India, about one-eighth relates to Rail & Metro. Early stages of project development (pre-planning
and planning) have a bigger share of activities in India; the other nations, while their overall investment pipelines are much smaller those activity stages, have projects that are more weighted toward execution phases.
Most of the projects in the region are publicly funded
(87%), with public/private (12%) having no small role but private (1%) being small.
AMERICAS
North America The total tunnel-related construction pipeline in North America is about US$87 billion. The region comprises the US and Canada, the former value pipeline being proportionately larger than the latter by a ratio of 4:1. However, despite the difference in scale nationally, the
large scale of water & sewerage tunnel projects in the US takes up much of the share of value, proportionately far more than in Canada. This results in the total value of tunnel-related transport projects in the US being only 3:1 larger than in Canada. In the US, by far the most investment in tunnel-related
Transport projects is in Rail & Metro, slightly edging out the relatively large spend (compared to many other nations, and regions) on Water & Sewerage. In Canada, Highways & Roads projects dominate all
sector activity, although key Rail & Metro projects are underway in cities like Toronto. By far the majority of the region’s project pipeline is
publicly funded (97%), then private (2%) and public/ private (1%).
