Later on, we went to Politecnico di Torino TUSC (Tunnelling and Underground Space Center) Laboratory where Daniele Martinelli and Cristina Oñate Salazar (PhD TUSC researchers) carried on some of the most common tests on soil conditioning to asses the proper dosage. As the tests used for this purpose are varied and come from other industries (concrete mainly), the ability of the operators and experience in the use of the conditioning agents is the key to obtain a proper conditioning of the soils.

Marco Arato from Atlas Copco presented a complete lecture on mucking systems for mining and tunnelling. He went thoroughly through the main features of their available systems for the handling and transport of the excavated material. LHD (Load Haul Dump) vehicles and train systems are their most developed spoiling techniques.
