Multi-Mode TBM

Type one: EPB-Open Face TBM. Apart from being capable of maintaining earth pressure balance on working face, an EPB-Open Face TBM is also equipped with hard rock cutterhead and belt conveyor. This TBM adapts to soft rock, hard rock and transitional mix grounds. The boring /mucking modes can be changed according to geological requirements to minimize interferences and risks. 

Type two: EPB-Slurry TBM. The EPB mode will be put to work when encountering a tunnel face with poor stab山ty or moisture-rich soft soil, soft rock, sandy gravel and mixed ground in order that excavated mucks can receive liquidity and impermeability.
