Shaft Boring System

The Shaft Boring System (SBS) is a cutting-edge advancement in constructing vertical shafts for underground projects. Offering precision and enhancing safety, it streamlines excavation across diverse geological conditions. Minimising human exposure to danger, it creates access, ventilation, and material transport shafts, optimising timelines and reducing costs.

Application

  • Mining Operations: Access, ventilation and material transport shafts.
  • Civil Engineering: Infrastructure development, such as subway shafts.
  • Efficiently constructs small diameter passes for transferring ore and waste between different levels of a mine.
  • In the energy sector it is used for surge, ventilation, access and pressure shafts

Benefits

  • Underground access is not required.
  • Operates without explosives, ensuring a continuous production process.
  • Requires fewer personnel for operation.
  • Provides a safer, faster, and more flexible method for accessing ore bodies.
  • Achieves advancement of up to 6 meters per day while simultaneously supporting the shaft.
  • Enables simultaneous break-away development at mine levels.
