TBM

Tunnel construction is nowadays highly mechanized. Securing work in mechanically driven tunnels through rock is mainly carried out with shotcrete. Sprayed concrete technology plays a central role as well for immediate support in the L1 zone as for ulterior support and lining in the L2 zone. Here, the different spraying systems must keep pace with the conditions set by the mechanical driving of the tunnel.

The problem created by the laser navigation system of an existing back-up train has been solved by the one-stage telescoping boom with offset-mounted spraying head. The manipulator is guided by two elliptic half arches, thus allowing interference-free laser positioning of the TBM, also during shotcreting.
