Tunneling Equipment
Tunneling equipment refers to specialized machinery used for the construction of tunnels. This equipment includes tunnel boring machines (TBMs), which are large, rotating devices that excavate soil and rock while simultaneously installing tunnel linings. Other tools, such as excavators and conveyor belts, assist in the removal of excavated material and the transportation of supplies.
These machines are essential for various projects, including transportation systems like subways and highways, as well as utility tunnels for water and electricity. The use of tunneling equipment helps improve efficiency and safety in underground construction, minimizing surface disruption and environmental impact.
