    ·  Evaluations of ground conditions from:
        - 
analyses of geological information and its impact on rock excavations
        -  
interpretations of aerial photographs, and
        - 
derivation of results from field investigations
  · Design of tunnels and caverns
  · Planning and follow-up of grouting for sealing of rocks
  · Special evaluations connected to disputes 
 

Dr. Palmström has more than 40 years experience from planning, design and follow-up of rock excavation works, and
