Advances in soil conditioning technology used on Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines

During tunnelling with Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines (EPB-TBMs) huge amounts of soil are removed for the tunnel construction with foams and polymers mixed in during excavation to modify its characteristics. This process, which is directly linked to TBM performance, is called soil conditioning and is an important factor in achieving a project’s target ...
