TBM Applications

Seminar organized by The Norwegian Tunnelling Society (NFF)

1-2 June 2010 - Bergen Norway

 During the period from early nineteen seventies to early nineties more than 250 km of tunnels were excavated in Norway by the use of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM). The purpose of these tunnels was mainly for hydropower and a few road tunnels. After this period the development of hydropower came more or less to a stop and the same was the case with the application of TBMs. Some of the contractors continued to do some TBM tunnels abroad. Internationally the development has gone the opposite way. More and more TBMs are applied to a variety of different ground conditions and purposes. This seminar will highlight the development of this tunnelling technique over the last 20 years and show tunnelling professionals the possibilities of this method.

 The seminar Program includes:

  • Site Visit

·         TBM applications

  • International development and case stories
  • Planning of TBM projects

International Conference Underground Construction Prague 2010 Transport and City Tunnels

 

 14-16 June 2010, Czech Tunnelling Association ITA-AITES, Prague, Czech republic

 The ITA-AITES Czech Tunnelling Association cordially invites you to the 11th International Conference entitled „Underground Constructions Prague 2010“, which will be held in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, from 14th to 16th June 2010. This is the largest Czech tunnelling conference, which is held regularly every three years.

Our aim is for the conference programme to reflect experience in preparing and implementing road, railway and urban underground construction projects, in particular experience obtained during mechanised excavation by means

of TBMs and shields or from driving long rail tunnels.
