ROBOTISATION TO REDUCE RESOURCE CONSUMPTION IN TUNNEL SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION
Tunnels are infrastructures that play a vital role in the economic advancement of regions. From the point of view of passenger and/or goods transport, the main importance of tunnels lies in their capacity to improve connections between industrial, commercial or tourist sites, reducing the distance between these points, which leads to savings in terms of time and, above all, in costs. In addition to increasing productivity, the construction sector must meet the growing demands of users for greater complexity, better performance, lower cost and shorter lead times. Similarly, major concern for climate change has been developing in recent years, with strategies such as the European Green Deal, whose objectives include increasing the circularity of resources, improving the productivity of materials, reducing the environmental footprint of products and the application of eco-designs that take into account the entire life cycle, prioritising sectors such as construction.
LURPELAN, a company specialising in the execution of underground infrastructures, has led ROBERT, a project in which it has worked with the electrical engineering company, KOMAT, and the TECNALIA Technology Centre.
