PReFACe The 2009 Rapid Excavation and Tunneling Conference returns to Las Vegas, Nevada, and begins with the always interesting topic of Risk, followed by 20 technical sessions totaling 107 papers over four days. These sessions in this 19th RETC cover every aspect of underground construction, design, and planning as presenters share their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. The authors of these papers come from a wide spectrum of the industry and bring both innovative ideas and unique perspectives to the presentations. RETC has become a truly international conference as our world and industry becomes smaller due in part to increased sharing of knowledge. We have 40 interna- tional papers being presented, and our conference committee maintains an interna- tional subcommittee representing approximately 16 countries. RETC is a firm believer of student participation and the promotion of pursuing careers in underground construction. To that extent, we sponsor student attendance at RETC and are looking to expand the scholarship program for students in related studies. These proceedings are a valuable source of knowledge for all who attend, but we should endeavor to pass these proceedings and “lessons learned” on to the next generation of tunnelers. It is up to all of us to mentor our engineers, superintendents, designers, supervisors, and craftspeople. They are our future and we owe it to them because we all have someone who inspired us to become part of this exciting industry. The program chairs wish to thank the session chairs, co-chairs, authors, and other members of the RETC Executive Committee for their dedication to this conference. Additionally, the chairs wish to thank the dedicated staff of SME for their hard work, patience, and enthusiastic support. Finally, we thank all the participants for joining us in this global conference, which will not only provide technical knowledge and networking but “good, old-fashioned camaraderie.” xi © 2009 by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration.
