Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfred Haack honoured with ITACET Award 2018

During the official opening ceremony of the World Tunneling Congress in Dubai on April 23, 2018, the former ITA President and longtime STUVA Managing Director Prof. Alfred Haack was honoured with the ITACET Award 2018.

Professor Haack receives the ITACET Award 2018 for his remarkable contributions to the Foundation. As early as 2000, during Haack's own ITA presidency, it became increasingly clear that the growing global demand for well-trained engineers posed an increasing challenge to precisely this international tunneling association. It was Haack who set the course for education and training at ITA and continues to provide advice and support to the ITACET for this purpose to this day as an honorary member of the Committee of Surveyors.

The prize, which is awarded for special merits to ITACET, has so far been given to only four people: 2014 to Prof. Andre Assis, 2015 to Koichi Ono, 2016 to Harald Wagner and 2017 to Martin Herrenknecht.

In addition to Professor Haack, in 2018 an organization is also honored with the ITACET Award. The Chilean CTES (Comité de Túneles y Espacios Subterráneos de Chile) has been honored for its remarkable contribution to the work of the Foundation. For many years, CTES has regularly organized trainings such as the International Workshop on Risk Management in Tunnels.
