This paper demonstrates the main challenges encountered during tunnelling and the measures taken to mitigate potential risks during construction and to control long-term differential settlements in the upper, very soft soil. The tunnels are connected by two cross passages which are being constructed ...
The author reflects on the findings of research projects running within the scope of the research network "Analysis and Prediction of Penetration an Cutter Wear for TBM Tunnelling in Hard Rock." A tunnel boring machine (TBM) data analysis from the reconnaissance tunnel Aicha at the Brenner Base ...
To ensure safe tunnelling through all sections of the alignment, the machine is outfitted with efficient ground-supporting equipment, including a fixed probe drilling unit, two rock bolting drills, and a steel arches erector. Terratec Incorporated 30 years ago, TERRATEC is one of the world’s le...
极硬极高磨损岩石将增大 TBM 刀具磨损、 降低掘进速率, 给施工带来极大挑战. 为了应对该类地层, 设备制造商和研究人员通过提高 TBM 性能和开发辅助岩石破碎方法, 进行了大量探索. 本文首先通过案例分析, 概述了极硬岩中 TBM 施工的诸项挑战; 其次, 综述了硬岩 TBM 的技术突破和各种可以用于独立/辅助破碎硬岩的...
It is Nepal’s second TBM-excavated tunnel project, and also the TBM’s second tunnel in Nepal, having previously completed 12.2km of tunnelling for the Bheri Babai Diversion Multipurpose Project in 2019. “Successfully finishing these first two projects is really a good thing for the country ...

In tunnelling with a Double Shield TBM, a rotating cutterhead equipped with disc cutters is pressed against the tunnel face. High contact forces are required to work efficiently in hard rock with localized rock strengths of over 250 megapascals. Under this pressure, the disc cutters overcome the...
TBM tunnelling in faulted and folded rocks This project focuses on the study of the performance of Tunnel Boring Machines (in particular gripper TBMs) in highly jointed rock masses and fault zones. The great development of TBMs in rock tunnelling industry is mainly due to their a... E Palt...
