The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is the workhorse of modern underground infrastructure projects. As cities grow and the demand for efficient transportation and utility networks increases, the role of the TBM becomes ever more critical. We provide top-tier Tunnel Boring Machines designed to meet the rigorous demands of global construction projects.
A Tunnel Boring Machine works by rotating a massive cutterhead equipped with disc cutters and scrapers against the tunnel face. As the cutterhead rotates, hydraulic cylinders push the machine forward. The excavated material, or "muck," is transported out of the tunnel via a conveyor belt or slurry piping system. Simultaneously, the machine installs precast concrete segments to form the tunnel lining.
Understanding the different types of TBMs is essential for project planning:
Slurry TBMs: Ideal for soft ground with high water pressure, utilizing pressurized slurry to balance ground pressure. Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBMs: Best for soft, cohesive soils, using the excavated material itself to support the tunnel face. Hard Rock TBMs: Designed to cut through solid rock with immense force using heavy-duty disc cutters.Our Tunnel Boring Machine solutions are engineered for durability and precision. We understand that every project is unique, which is why we offer machines that can be customized to specific tunnel diameters and geological requirements. Features such as real-time guidance systems, automated segment erection, and robust cutterhead designs set our equipment apart.
From the Swiss Alps to the dense urban undergrounds of Asia, Tunnel Boring Machines are connecting the world. They reduce the environmental impact of construction and allow for routes that were previously deemed impossible. Partner with us to leverage accurate and powerful tunneling technology for your next major infrastructure venture.
