Abstract

This paper introduces a process-driven risk-assessment methodology in tunnelling. This methodology considers the construction process as a whole and covers all aspects of risk-management process, from risk identification to risk response. The application of the proposed methodology has been demonstrated on two phases of the construction project and was applied to tunnel construction. Risk assessment should follow the construction process. Each phase of the project has a goal that must be achieved. The goal of each phase depends on some activities that affect the phase realisation. These activities are potential sources of risk and a cyclical risk assessment should be repeated for each phase of the project. It is necessary to take into account that executing a construction project is a process, and that risk management must follow that process.
