Abstract
Simphony is a simulation-modeling environment that may be applied to many aspects and fields within construction engineering and management. Simphony has the ability to provide decision support services for a variety of problems arising during the project life cycle. The focus of this paper will be given to tunnel construction by detailing the application of Simphony on three separate projects. These examples address the special purpose simulation templates within Simphony, and their use in addressing real life concerns regarding estimation, planning, risk analysis, and refining of the construction process. Discussion includes details of these example projects and the cost benefits identified.
