    The document compares three tunnel construction methods: cut and cover is suitable for small to medium sites and uses small machines at low cost but is slow; top down is for large sites but is complicated, uses large machines, and has very high construction costs despite being the fastest; open cut is for very large sites, uses simple techniques with large machines, and has economical costs though is the slowest.
