The design of immersed tube tunnels must consider the estuary's water flow. This affects the choice between a bridge or tunnel and influences the tunnel's stability during construction. Modelling helps predict forces and optimize tunnel placement. Environmental impacts must be assessed for planning approval. Experience from past projects informs the necessary hydraulic studies for successful tunnel projects.
