Horizontal Raise Boring

Horizontal raise boring revolutionises tunnel creation with precise, safe and efficient horizontal drilling. Ideal for mining and infrastructure, this method ensures accurate tunnel alignment, minimal environmental impact and enhanced safety, transforming underground operations.

Application

  • Creating horizontal tunnels for transportation, conveyance systems or utility corridors.
  • Building tunnels for water management, sewage systems or underground transit.
  • Establishing passageways for hydroelectric power plants or geothermal installations.
  • Efficiently constructs small diameter passes for transferring ore and waste between different levels of a mine.
A modern tunnel boring machine with intricate mechanical parts and rotating cutters is positioned underground. The grey and metallic apparatus is designed for excavation, with several large circular cutting heads and heavy-duty components visible.

Benefits

  • Allows for accurate tunnel dimensions and directions, crucial for project specifications.
  • Reduces the need for explosives, lowering the risk of accidents and ensuring safer working conditions.
  • Minimises surface disruption and ecological impact, promoting sustainable construction practices.
  • Efficiently constructs small diameter passes for transferring ore and waste between different levels of a mine.
