Tunnel
Monday, September 14, 2009
When we drive to Switzerland, we usually take the St. Gotthard tunnel, at 16.4 kilometers (10.5 miles) the third-longest road tunnel in the world. That can get a little uncomfortable, particularly when traffic comes to a stop in the middle. Today, on my way to a meeting, I walked through a slightly smaller tunnel, one that goes under a rather busy road and joins the two sides of the Amadeus central campus. When we expanded to the east side of the Route du Pin Montard a few years ago, the company had the tunnel built so that employees could safely cross from one side to the other. Since we obtained a below ground building permit, we were able to run our own fiber-optics network to the other side, saving a bundle. I guess it pays to keep one’s employees safe!
