The “Rock mechanics, tunnels and underground construction” segment includes, for example, the presentations “Compressed air in mechanised and conventional tunnelling in soil and rock”, “Digitalisation and automation of tunnelling” and “Progress in the development of innovations to accelerate the renewal of railway tunnels”.
In the second session of the day, entitled “Sustainability”, the holistic approach to the utilisation of excavated tunnel material will be discussed. Another presentation will deal with the use of CO2-reduced concrete in the construction of the London Power Tunnel. The project presentations will deal with the elevation injections in the construction of the Marienhof station as part of the 2nd S-Bahn main line in Munich, the rail partnership model in the planning of the Pfaffensteig Tunnel and hard rock tunnelling at the West Link/Korsvägen project in Gothenburg (Sweden).
