    Tunneling Methodology

    Uploaded by

    jonathan Phillip Clores
    The document discusses two main tunneling methodologies: NATM (New Austrian Tunneling Method) and TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine). NATM involves manual excavation techniques like forepoling, excavation with excavators or road headers, and installing ground supports like rock bolts, mesh, shotcrete, steel ribs. TBM involves using a large mechanized bore to excavate tunnels. It can excavate faster than drill and blast methods. The document provides an example of a TBM excavating 560 meters per month on average for one tunnel project. The document also lists the largest TBM manufacturers and provides tables comparing TBM versus drill and blast based on tunnel parameters and geological/hydro

    Table 2. Preference of the tunnelling method based upon geological and hydrological conditions.

     
    Figure 2. Comparison of advance rates for TBM and DBM (After Barton, 2000).

     
     
    From 2012 up today, TBM technology strongly evolved, therefore the range of geological
    and hydrological conditions where the TBM is recommendable is currently larger.
    Regarding the different TBM types you can refer to Herrenknecht (
    https://www.herrenknecht.com/de/produkte/tunnelling/ ). Most of the others TBM
    manufacturers has similar products but Herrenknecht web site that is really well done.
     
    See below the list of the largest TBM manufacturers:
    1. China Railway Engineering Equipment Group Co., Ltd. (CREG)
