In addition to installation accuracy, quality control and safety, the location of the cave at a depth of about 400 meters had to be taken into account in the design: environmental conditions and tunnel congestion, as well as possible changes in, for example, the filling pattern of the blocks. Solution: Enmac developed the processing method and the equipment concept based on it, taking into account the boundary conditions of product development, which were the planned size of the filling blocks, the filling speed and the dimensions and structure of the tunnel. As a result of product development, an electromechanical device was created almost entirely. In addition to design, Enmac also acted as prototype manufacturing supervisor and participates in prototype testing. Result: An almost entirely electromechanical, mobile-controlled device prototype. The prototype-based device will be commissioned in the future when spent nuclear fuel disposal canisters are placed in the bedrock.
