TBM PILOT EXAMINER CERTIFICATE

A train-the-trainer course for experts with 5+ years EPB Tunnel Bore Machine experience on a minimum of two different projects and who are

In the world of tunneling and excavation, the success of a TBM operation relies on numerous influential factors. From hydrogeology and geotechnics to machine parameters and support technologies, TBM pilots shoulder the responsibility of overseeing a wide range of critical aspects. Recognizing the significance of this multifaceted challenge, EFNARC has taken the initiative to enhance the expertise of TBM pilots.

The TBM Examiner has a wide experience of underground construction and as EPB TBM pilot and has been independently accredited by EFNARC through attendance at an TBM Examiner course. CUC is offering Examiner accreditation for the TBM Certification Scheme on behalf of EFNARC.
