Goal of the DRAGON project is to achieve a higher grade of resource efficiency in tunneling and other underground construction processes by turning the excavation material into a valuable resource for other processes and sectors such as the cement, steel, ceramic or glass industries. The project sets out to solve this challenge by developing a prototype system for the automated online analysis, separation and recycling of materials excavated in underground construction sites. The entire chain from characterisation to classification and processing of the excavated material will be conducted completely underground, preferably on the tunnel boring machine (TBM), thus saving natural primary resources, reducing hazardous environmental impacts and providing a high economic value.
