A tunnel boring machine (TBM), often called a "mole" or "worm", is a large machine used to excavate tunnels. It's an alternative to traditional drilling and blasting, offering more efficient and less disruptive tunneling in various ground conditions. TBMs can bore through rock, soil, and mixed ground, and they can also install tunnel supports simultaneously.
Key Features and Components:
Cutter Head: The front-most part of the TBM, equipped with rotating cutters that excavate the tunnel face. Different types of cutter heads are used depending on the ground conditions.
Shield: The main body of the TBM, which protects workers and houses other components.
Conveyor System: Transports excavated material away from the tunnel face.
Tunnel Segment Erection System: Installs precast concrete segments to form the tunnel walls.
Control Room: Houses the controls for operating the TBM and monitoring its progress.
