Founding on the basics of the compulsory lecture "construction methods" the students become well-acquainted with tunnelling methods in practice. Depending upon various conditions of work and specific requirements for underground projects (tunnels, galleries, shafts, caverns, pipe jacking, trenchless technologies) they should be able to comment on as well as to choose the appropriate tunnelling method according to technical and economical characteristics. Moreover the creation of basic cost estimations for underground projects are demanded, too. In course of this exercise competent knowledge of the lecture tunnelling methods should be realised practically on the basis of examples.

This lecture revolves around practical construction methods for the economical construction of adits, tunnels, shafts, caverns and no-dig lines. Drill and blast and mechanical excavations are likewise dealt with. The selection procedure of tunnelling methods and construction equipments as well as the cost estimation for adequate costs of underground projects should be worked out with students on the basis of few practical examples in completion to the lecture tunnelling methods .
