Die Gruppe "Projektleiter der langen Eisenbahn-Alpentunne" wurde 1993 auf Initiative der SBB gegründet. Zunächst waren die beiden Projektleiter aus den Basistunneln Mont-Cenis (heute Lyon-Turin) und Gotthard beteiligt. Später wurden die Verantwortlichen für die Basistunnelprojekte Semmering, Brenner und Lötschberg sowie für den Kanaltunnel in die Gruppe aufgenommen, die nun "Projektleiter lange Tunnel" heißt. Die Gruppe trifft sich seit über 20 Jahren ca. zweimal im Jahr zum Informations- und Erfahrungsaustausch. Die Zusammensetzung dieser Gruppe und der wertvolle Erfahrungsaustausch haben zu kostengünstigen und funktionalen Lösungen geführt.
