What does TBM mean?<\/h2>\n

The full form of TBM is Tunnel Boring Machine. <\/strong>It will help in drilling the hard rock or sand. Generally, it operates in a circular motion, either in soil or rock strata, excavating the tunnel. The TBM has a suitable design for the tunnels, like rectangular or u-shaped tunnels, along with the circular tunnels.<\/p>\n

It can excavate the tunnel having a minimum diameter of one meter to a maximum of 17.6 meters. In other words, it can excavate roughly around 50-60 feet in a day.<\/p>\n

Types of TBM<\/h2>\n

Hard Rock TBM<\/h3>\n

Two applications are available – shielded and open-type TBM. Disc cutters are mounted on the cutter head to clear the hard rock. It put pressure on the rock, enabling it to break and move to the belt conveyor and be removed from the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Soft Ground TBM<\/h3>\n

There are three types of soft ground TBM<\/p>\n

Earth Pressure balance TBM<\/strong>: It uses the combination of tungsten carbide cutting bits and hard rock or carbide disc cutters. The earth pressure balance machine uses the seven-bar pressure and maintains a stable environment to remove the soil.<\/p>\n

Slurry Shield TBM<\/strong>: when the groundwater pressure is very high, the soils are mixed with the slurry and excavated through slurry tubes.<\/p>\n

Open Face Type TBM<\/strong>: It is suitable for the rock having the strength of 10MPa. It excavates the tunnel by the cutter head and uses precast concrete for ground support.<\/p>\n
