One of my “dream” to see in tunnelling in HK.
The Future of Tunnelling: Boring and Blasting Combined The construction industry is on the cusp of a revolution with the introduction of the new generation Boring Blasting Machine (#BBM), designed to enhance #tunnelling efficiency by an impressive 30%. This marvel of #engineering combines a powerful #boring mechanism with controlled #blasting techniques to navigate through challenging terrains with ease. At the forefront of this innovation is the machine’s high-torque, multi-edge cutting head, which grinds through rock with unparalleled precision. Its advanced sensors adapt to varying #geological conditions, ensuring optimal performance. The cutting head works in tandem with controlled blasting, where microcharges are strategically placed and detonated in a synchronized sequence, fracturing the rock to complement the boring process. This technological marvel is set to enhance tunnelling efficiency by an impressive 30%. Here’s an itemized look at its key features: High-Torque Cutting Head: -Utilizes a multi-edge design for precision grinding through rock. -Equipped with advanced sensors for adapting to geological changes. Controlled Blasting Techniques: -Employs microcharges placed strategically along the tunnel face. -Detonations are synchronized with the boring cycle for optimal fracturing. Environmental Sustainability: -Increased efficiency leads to #reduced energy consumption. -Lower carbon emissions align with global #environmental goals. Community-Friendly Operations: -A #noise reduction system minimizes impact on local communities. Continuous Tunnelling Process: -Reduces the downtime typically associated with traditional blasting. -Maintains structural integrity of the surrounding rock. Urban Project Viability: -Ensures safety and stability in densely populated areas. Economic and Social Benefits: -Faster #project completions lead to cost savings. -Less disruption to traffic and daily life. The new generation of boring-blasting machines combines precision cutting with controlled blasting. This dynamic duo accelerates tunneling, reduces environmental impact, and ensures safety. As we embrace this technology, we pave the way for a brighter, faster and eco-friendly future in construction.
