Tunneling and Drilling Day
Tunnels in transport infrastructures
Drilling in Europe: technology - safety - legislation
Tunnels in transport infrastructures
From design to implementation of works
Wednesday 5 March 2008, 14.00 - 18.00 / Thursday 6 March, 9.15 - 13.30Rossini Hall - Arena Conference Centre
SIG (Società Italiana Gallerie - Italian Tunnelling Society) continues its long-standing involvement with Samoter in full awareness of the multi-discipline approach required today to identify the best design and executive solutions for tunnelling work. This convention will discuss various specialisation topics focusing on excavation and support methods, using
traditional approaches, based on mass equilibrium (ADECO) and
mechanised systems with full-section drills (TBM), as well as safety and a focus on the
environment in implementation and operating stages.
Given the increasing globalisation of the sector, alongside other events organised on a European scale by sister associations, organisation of this conference also includes associations based in France (AFTES), Spain (AETOS) and Switzerland (GTS) which, like SIG, are members of the International Tunnelling Association (ITA-AITES).
This traditional appointment will be attended by leading experts in the sector, Actuators, Major Companies and Machinery/Technology manufacturers and all other parties engaged in ensuring the best use of "underground resources" as an essential approach to sustainable development.

Drilling in Europe: technology - safety - legislation
Friday 7 March 2008, 9.30Respighi Hall First Floor Palaexpo
Now that European integration is an historic fact, and companies in Italy are looking towards markets outside the country, this convention has the main aim of offering an occasion for meetings, comparisons and awareness in terms of technology, first and foremost, but also a focus on legislation and safety questions in different European realities. AIF has always focused on these three topics and seeks to offer tools promoting innovation and awareness for all operators interested in "total product quality" not only in Italy but elsewhere.
