Boring machines are specialized tools used to create holes in various materials, such as soil, rock, or concrete. They are commonly employed in construction and mining to facilitate the installation of tunnels, pipelines, and other underground structures. These machines can vary in size and design, depending on the specific application and the type of material being drilled.
One popular type of boring machine is the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which is designed for large-scale tunneling projects. TBMs can efficiently excavate tunnels while simultaneously installing support structures, making them essential for urban infrastructure projects like subways and roadways.
