Drill and blast still features among the most used solutions for tunnelling in medium to hard rock conditions. The main benefits of this method are the versatile equipment, the fast start up and a relatively low capital tied to the equipment. It is a cyclical process that requires a proper work site organization. The aim of this work is to describe the application of D&B method for the excavation of Skottås Tunnel, in the southwest of Norway. Particular attention has been given to two specific activities, grouting injection before excavation and overbreak remedy actions before the final lining phases. The first one, also due to the geological conditions of Scandinavia, is a widely spread solution in Norway.
