Road Tunnel Safety
The ITACET Foundation recently cooperated with the International Road Federation (IRF) to organise a training session in Dubai on Tunnel Safety Management for the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai.
Introduction to tunnelling – From design to construction
After a first session dedicated to underground space use in 2018, the 2019 seminar aimed to go further in the tunnelling process by presenting the major issues related to the design and construction aspects. It helped the clients to understand how to manage underground projects and set up a suitable organisation. Approximately 80 participants attended, from various companies but all with a great enthusiasm to learn more.
The main tunnelling processes
After a first event on "Underground Space Use" organised by the ITACET Foundation and the Tunnelling Association of Nigeria in 2018, a follow up seminar on "The Main Tunnelling Processes" was held on 16th October 2019, in Abuja. A total of 35 participants coming mostly from Ministry Parastatals attended and were treated to lectures by Piergiorgio Grasso, Arnold Dix and Johann Brandl.
