Mechanised Tunnelling
As an alternative to the classic methods of tunnelling, tunnels can be bored by tunnelling machines. This chapter talks about mechanised tunnelling, and begins by providing an overview of tunnelling machines. Tunnel boring machines (TBM) and partial face machines are used in hard rock, and shielded tunnelling machines are intended for use in friable unstable rock and particularly in soil. The chapter provides an overview of the categories of shield machine as given by the German association for underground construction DAUB. Various types of machine can be used to bore tunnels through hard rock. A systematic categorisation of hard rock tunnel boring machines is shown in the chapter. The chapter gives an overview of construction processes, which combine TBM and shotcrete methods of tunnelling. It also describes roadheaders (TSM) and tunnel excavators, besides explaining the checking of the tunnelling machine for suitability and acceptance based on a risk analysis.
