This study was conducted in Istanbul Akfirat Waste Water Tunnel to determine the effects of clogging and foam injection ratio (FIR) on the EPB TBM …
As the principle of an EPB is to develop pressure by creating friction in the screw conveyor and to operate with a full excavation chamber, EPBs are prone to develop high wear rates in abrasive geology. The general layout of an EPB machine is illustrated in following sketch Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Schematic sketch of EPB TBM
At the Mill Creek Drainage Relief Tunnel in Dallas, Texas, USA, a Robbins Main Beam TBM underwent an in-tunnel diameter change for the first time in the industry. The machine went from 11.6 m diameter to 9.9 m diameter through teamwork, perseverance, and top-notch engineering. Watch the video to find out more about the ground-breaking process ...

The EPB-TBM is broadly applicable in soft ground excavation for urban tunneling projects. Under adverse geological conditions, the effective face support …
Cutterhead: The rotating circular structure on the front of a tunnel boring machine in which the cutting tools are installed and the spoils are picked up from the tunnel invert.. Disc cutter: A disc-shaped cutting tool that cuts hard rock or mixed ground when mounted to a TBM. Dual Mode "Crossover" TBM: A TBM that combines characteristics from hard rock and …
At the helm of SHAIL Tunnelling & Infra is our visionary founder and Managing Director, Mr. Kapil Bhati, a name synonymous with leadership in the industry. His extensive experience as the former Managing Director of Robbins Tunnelling & Trenchless Technology Pvt Ltd. which was founded in 2005, is a testament to his expertise and commitment to ...
Variable Density TBM technology has propelled a wide range of successful projects around the world. Although there are many different types of variable density TBMs, the common underlying principle that defines them stays the same. By combining features of EPB TBMs and Mixshield TBMs, it is possible to improve the face support
One Robbins EPB was launched for Lot 1 on July 13, 2011 – a change from its originally scheduled tunnel drive at Lot 5. A flood at Lot 1 delayed the Herrenknecht machine that was originally designated to bore the area for six months, prompting the contractor to begin boring with the Robbins EPB. ... The TBM—launched from the …
Multi-Mode TBM with screw conveyor and machine belt to change flexibly between EPB and open mode. 1. Combination of EPB and Open-face TBM. EPB Shields with screw conveyor in the invert section can be driven in the conventional closed EPB mode and also in the open mode. The excavation chamber and screw are only partly filled in this case.
An 11-meter CRCHI EPB, Victory, is said to be the largest-diameter TBM exported from China to Europe. The contract will see Gammon deliver two 1,800m-long eight-cell tunnel structures for the APM and systems as well as all electrical and mechanical works for the tunnels. The APM and tunnels and the associated works …
We address the effect of three groups of factors on supplementary ground surface displacements during tunnel construction. The first group of factors includes the engineering and geological properties of the massif in which the tunneling is conducted; the second group includes the structural features of the designed tunnels and surrounding …
Final Breakthrough at Bahçe-Nurdaği Railway. In June 2023, a resilient 8.0 m diameter Robbins Single Shield completed its second tunnel at Turkey's Bahçe-Nurdaği Railway. The machine completed 9.6 km of tunneling, adding on to the 9.2 km it completed in its initial railway tunnel in 2020. [...] Keep Reading. At the end of June 2023, the ...
The industry is all too familiar with Seattle's SR99 Tunnel and its TBM, known as "Big Bertha". More specifically, much has been written with regards to the TBM needing repairs after about 300 m of boring. …

lar tunnel boring machines (TBM). Two common types of TBMs are slurry TBMs and earth pressure balance (EPB) TBMs. While the tunnel shield and completed segmental tunnel linings (usually discrete precast concrete panels assembled together or precast rings) are relatively safe, the TBM excavation process can be potentially dangerous.
Robbins is continuing its tradition of innovation with a range of new developments, from EPB-specific disc cutters for mixed ground, to specialized ground support, to a new method of TBM assembly. The Onsite First Time Assembly (OFTA) method was first developed at the Niagara Tunnel Project in 2006 (Fig. 6), where it enabled the swift assembly ...
