About TBM
The Hard Rock Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is the most valuable value-added equipment in the field of tunneling and is an indispensable major country in major engineering fields such as the national railway, water conservancy and national defense. In the next 10 years, China needs to use TBM to excavate tunnels of 20,000 kilometers, accounting for more than 80% of the global market. At the beginning of the project, China's TBM has long been monopolized by foreign countries, and the price of a single TBM is as high as 300-500 million yuan. Even with the use of foreign TBM equipment, there are serious problems such as poor geological adaptability and inability to move. After more than 10 years of joint research, production, research and research, this project has overcome a series of key technologies such as TBM design and manufacturing, and solved the international industry problems such as TBM's “difficult rock breaking, pre-exploration and difficulty in perception”, and successfully realized the independent design and manufacture of TBM. Industrial production.
