OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING COURSE:

• This training course is for relatively skilled professionals
• Holistic approach for use of wet sprayed concrete for rock support and permanent lining in rapid
  conventional tunnelling and underground construction (course will only deal with wet sprayed concrete
  and rock support, because this is the dominant method and trend worldwide for use of sprayed
  concrete)  
• Concentrate on the basic practical aspects of the whole sprayed concrete process chain in daily
  production and issues which are important for young engineers to understand and to have control over
  in their daily work on site or in design companies. 
• The course is built up around Scandinavian practice of use of sprayed concrete (Scandinavia is
  probably one of the areas in the world where sprayed concrete is most extensively just in the past and
  nowadays and also has a tradition as temporary and final support) 
• The course will also include methods/techniques and trends in drilling, blasting, injection and
  waterproofing - all important parameters for successful use and final quality of sprayed concrete as
  rock support and final lining 
• The course will also deal with the important topic of qualification, training and certification of sprayed
  concrete supervisors and operators.  
• Speakers will come from the industry with long practical experience and good reputation 
• An objective is also to try to show / demonstrate in practice on the second day what was explained in
  theory the day before and get the young engineers a feeling for important parameters to be checked
  and controlled in the sprayed concrete process. This along the Slogan: Seeing is believing’ and
  probably the best way to understand the process
