TBM in tunnels
• Tunnel Boring Machine works, we will divide its components into three
parts:
• Cutting Head (front)
• Tunnel Field (middle)
• Trailing Gear (rear)
•
• Tbm for Hard Rocks-shielded or open-type TBMs is used to excavate
rocks with the help of disc cutters which are mounted on the cutter head.
• the excavated rocks are transferred to the belt conveyor through the cutter
head openings.
• These rocks are then run through multiple conveyors to get them removed
from the tunnel.
• The Soft Ground TBMs have three main types of TBMs:
• Slurry Shield
• when the ground conditions are granular with very high water pressure.
• the cutter head with pressurized slurry, which is also used as a transporting medium when mixed with the excavated material
before it is pumped to the cutter head back
• spoil from the slurry are filtered using the Slurry separation plants to reuse it in the construction process.
• Earth Pressure Balance
• when the soft groundwater is less than 7 bars of pressure.
• the cutter head not only uses disc cutter but also a combination of tungsten carbide cutting bits, drag picks and carbide disc
cutters.
• where the excavated material supports the tunnel face. It later gets plasticized with the help of slurry such that it is transportable.
• The spoil is then transferred into a TBM with the help of a screw conveyor that allows the pressure to remain balanced without any
use of slurry.
• Open Face Type
• method of excavating with no frontal support, relying on the fact that the ground being excavated will stand up with no support for
a brief period, making it suitable to be used with rock types having strength up to 10MPa.
• Stages of TBM Construction
•
• Excavate the launching and retrieve shaft
• Assemble the TBM at the launching shaft
• Cut and excavate the tunnel
• The TBM then arrives in the retrieval shaft and gets dismantled for
transportation.
