Mobile Tunnel Borer

The Mobile Tunnel Boring technology is specifically designed for horizontal and inclined hard rock applications; eliminating the need to drill and blast. The high-level automation allows us to excavate tunnels with a smooth circular cross-section, safely and cost effectively.

Application

  • Creates access tunnels to ore bodies in a decline-type ramp or horizontal haulage format.
  • Applicable for metro utilities such as wastewater pipes, communication systems, and railways.
  • Ideal for hydroelectric or pump storage projects, including tailrace tunnels.
A massive tunnel boring machine is stationed on a flat surface outdoors. The front cutting head is round with multiple cutting blades and is positioned horizontally. Several workers in high-visibility clothing stand nearby next to a control unit and various machinery.
A worker operates machinery inside a large, illuminated tunnel with rugged, uneven walls. Green lighting casts an eerie glow, and there is a small puddle of water on the ground reflecting the lights. The scene appears industrial and underground.

Benefits

  • Enables simultaneous cutting, loading, meshing, and bolting.
  • Offers mobility and steering in all directions during excavation.
  • Designed for transportation in vertical shafts, fitting within standard cage dimensions and areas with a height restriction of 2 meters.
