Excavation Technology and Mining Machinery Laboratory

This laboratory was created for the specific purpose of providing the tunneling and mining industries with solid solutions to practical problems, for this reason we test the rock and determine its cuttability and drillability characteristics in actual conditions. The laboratories contain a selection of equipment that allows physical testing of every type of commercially available rock cutting or drilling tools at full scale. A group of experienced staff can produce solutions to excavation projects of mining and construction sector as 'Selection of Excavation Equipments, Design, Performance Optimisation, Performance Estimation, etc.'.
