Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are innovative, high-tech machines used to excavate tunnels through various ground conditions, offering advantages like speed, precision, safety, and minimal surface disruption, with applications in metro, roadway, and hydropower projects, though they come with challenges like high costs, geological uncertainties, and maintenance requirements. #TunnelBoringMachine #TBM #Infrastructure #Tunneling #CivilEngineering #HeavyMachinery #ConstructionTech #UndergroundEngineering #EngineeringInnovation #MegaProjects #Mining #ConstructionTechnology #GeotechnicalEngineering #UrbanDevelopment #SubwayConstruction #InfrastructureDevelopment #DeepTunneling #MiningEngineering #AdvancedMachinery #SustainableConstruction #UndergroundConstruction #ModernEngineering #TechnologyInConstruction #MachineInnovation #RockEngineering #TunnelConstruction

Among the most challenging and technically demanding modes of engineering are the tasks involved in constructing road tunnels. Road tunnels are built to ease traffic flow across mountains, rivers, or through dense metropolitan cities. Such structures drastically improve connectivity, save travel time, and foster economic growth. However, constructing a road tunnel is challenging and dangerous if due care is not taken during the planning and execution processes. We examine the steps in the main process of road tunneling, along with the associated challenges and risks. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3SmrKQD #mining #safety #Tunneling #BecauseItWorks

DB gets approval for rail upgrades in Germany’s coal regions The state owned #rail operator will move into the next stage of #planning on ten #projects. Deutsche Bahn (DB) has received government approval for a group of projects that will expand and electrify #railwaylines in Germany’s coal mining regions, including the double-track expansion of the Cottbus–Görlitz route. The €40bn ($43.4bn) agreement signed by DB and Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing covers ten projects in several different regions to improve capacity and decrease journey times across the country. DB CEO Dr. Richard Lutz said: “The electrification and double-track expansion of the Cottbus-Görlitz route will create a piece of strong rail that will connect the region with the metropolis of Berlin and its Polish neighbours. “With this and the other expansion projects, the planning of which we are now immediately starting, we are making an important contribution to a successful structural change in the country.” Other works include planning the 44km northern section of the Leipzig – Chemnitz line between Bad Lausick and Geithan, which is set to be electrified and expanded to two #tracks. Projects outlined under the agreement will also see work on the S-Bahn networks in Leipzig-Merseburg and the Rhenish mining area, and upgrades to the Aachen-Cologne line, the Naumburg-Halle line, and the Graustein-Spreewitz route. The announcement continued DB’s wide-ranging #investments into Germany’s #rail network through a “general renovation” as it seeks to address ageing #infrastructure caused by years of neglect and slow-moving #renovations. Wissing said: “Structural change in the name of climate protection requires concrete offers and perspectives for the regions most affected by the change. The Federal Government is therefore supporting #structural change in the former coal mining regions with up to €40bn. “The transport projects that are financed from this are important in order to bring new companies, new jobs and thus new perspectives and opportunities to the region.” While DB did not say when the ten projects under the latest agreement would begin, the company is currently trialling a new way of completing renovation works with a five-month closure of the Frankfurt-Mannheim line. The company is hoping that long closures of entire railway lines will allow work to be completed quicker than by shorter, periodic closures meaning works can last years. https://lnkd.in/evd_zvdY

RIINO Inc.’s electric rail system can reduce conventional tunnel development profile sizes typically used for haulage trucks from approximately 25m² to around 9m², significantly reducing development waste rock tonnes and CAPEX up to 60%-70%. Key Benefits: - Faster development cycles and earlier ore production. - Reduced ventilation needs and lower electrical consumption. - Optimized operations, saving both time and resources. #ElectricRail #Decarbonization #Mining #MineOptimization

Mining mitigation work carried out on TRU Huddersfield station site Network Rail and BAM UK & Ireland have completed a programme of mine #mitigation works at #Huddersfield station as part of the The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU). Huddersfield station in West #Yorkshire is being remodelled as part of the #TranspennineRouteUpgrade (#TRU) – a multi-billion-pound #railway #infrastructure scheme funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and delivered by #NetworkRail. The works at the station involve a new platform layout, increasing the number of tracks from three to four, #construction of a new #footbridge, and restoration of the station’s #roof canopy. #Mine mitigation works were needed to probe, treat and infill voids within old coal seams under the site before moving ahead with the upgrades. Network Rail, working together with #BamNuttall and its ground investigation division #BamRitchies, started probing into the seams in August 2023. The project team worked on coal seams roughly 15-20m below ground. They have now been backfilled with cementitious grout across the station footprint. Overall, large areas of the TRU route are underlain by #historical mine workings, which forms one of the most complex elements of the scheme. Project info The TRU project aims to deliver major #improvements and capacity increases to one of Britain’s #oldest railways. This will be done by fully electrifying the route, adding track, installing new digital #signalling and carrying out station #upgrades. By increasing the capacity of the line, the transport of large freight containers across the Pennines will also become possible. The 122km Transpennine route between #Manchester and #York, via #Huddersfield and #Leeds, serves 23 stations, crosses dozens of bridges, passes through 10km of tunnels, and goes over 29 level crossings. The upgrade scheme is divided into three programmes: West of Leeds, Leeds Central and East of Leeds. These will be delivered through dedicated alliances and project teams. The West of Leeds Alliance (TRU West) is responsible for work between Manchester and Leeds. It will carry out the electrification and resignalling of 68km of railway, while working on more than a dozen stations. TRU West comprises Network Rail as the owner participant, and Amey, Bam and Arup as non-owner participants. They are supported by a #supplychain of 15 sub-participant companies, all with particular skills and expertise. These include Tony Gee and Partners, COWI and AtkinsRéalis as #engineering designers, and Bam Ritchies and Structural Soils as specialist #geotechnical contractors. https://lnkd.in/eY8DveHn
