Planning of Subsurface Use covers the various factors and aspects that characterize subsurface installations and subsurface construction. The technique of subsurface construction in the form of tunnels and rock cavities has been developed in Sweden to a very high level. This book is composed of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of subsurface construction in Sweden. The next chapters provide the planning details and legal issues in Swedish subsurface construction project. Considerable chapters discuss the importance of responsible planning of the project, with particular emphasis on planning requirements and administrative routines. The final chapters focus on the subsurface installation problems associated with responsibility and compensation for damage.
