This hybrid TBM series, launched in 2015, has been ...
comparison with the strictly closed mode operation. Operation of the TBM without any active face support is called open mode. However it is misleading to describe the semi-closed mode and the open mode as an alternate operation procedure of an Earth Pressure Balanced TBM since the earth pressure is not balanced. Fig. 6 EPB-TBM Operation mode
It takes the right TBM for the job, the best people on the job, and complete cooperation between machine manufacturer. and contractor. Robbins TBMs hold 94% of all world records for high-speed tunnel excavation. We are proud of our record-breaking performance because it proves the quality of our machines and the knowledge of the Robbins team.
Interpretation of EPB TBM Graphical Data Keivan Rafie & Steve Skelhorn McNally International Abstract Tunnel construction using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) involves a highly complex process chain. Such processes generate large amounts of data that can be used for monitoring, reporting and analysis.
Robbins EPBMs control the stability of the tunnel face and subsidence of the ground surface by monitoring and adjusting the pressure inside the cutterhead chamber to achieve a balance with the pressure in front of the cutterhead, hence the name "Earth Pressure Balance.". The working area inside the EPBM is completely sealed against the ...
A successful job comes from using a reliable, fast TBM. Robbins TBM designs have been proven on hundreds of projects for more than five decades. As more contractors around the world will tell you based on their own experience: Robbins is the solution. Robbins revolutionized tunnel construction when our engineers designed the first hard rock TBM ...
This video shows how Robbins Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) tunnel boring machines control surface subsidence. Soft ground and segments are stabilized with a ...
Earth pressure balance, or EPB, is a mechanized tunneling method in which the excavated material is used to support the tunnel face whilst it is being plasticised using /slurry & other additives to make it transportable and impermeable. The excavated material is transported into the tunnel boring machine (TBM) via a screw conveyor ...
The machine, originally built in 1980, has been used on at least six different tunnel projects in the U.S. and Canada. Open the catalog to page 7.

The pre-excavation grouting system is designed to grout two holes at the same time with double-acting piston pumps capable of 69 bar (1,000psi) maximum pressure and 190 litres/min (50 gallons/min) maximum pumping capacity. The TBM is equipped with two grout mixing and pumping plants. Drilling and grout injection can be achieved from16 different ...
The ICA consortium signed a contract for a 10.2 m (33.5 ft) diameter Robbins EPBM, its back up system, and cutting tools. The TBM was the largest to ever bore in Mexico and was the first EPB TBM to be assembled at the jobsite using Onsite First Time Assembly (OFTA). Geology
Multi-Mode TBM with screw conveyor and machine belt to change flexibly between EPB and open mode. 1. Combination of EPB and Open-face TBM. EPB Shields with screw conveyor in the invert section can be driven in the conventional closed EPB mode and also in the open mode. The excavation chamber and screw are only partly filled in this case.
An earth pressure balance (EPB) TBM is used in soft ground conditions, and these conditions lead to the fluctuation and instability of machine parameters. Machine parameters influence cutter wear and tunnel excavation. For this reason, to evaluate and predict the cutter wear of an EPB TBM, a 1D CNN model was used to provide machine-parameter …

A sinkhole is a case of a sudden (and usually substantial) void formed at the ground surface. The usual small magnitude ground surface settlement caused by TBM tunneling can be estimated using a Gaussian (normal) distribution curve. This settlement is due to the volume loss in the ground in the process of tunneling.
The Robbins TBM, for contractor Afcons Infrastructure Ltd., was launched on its initial drive in January 2012. The 6.65 m (21.8 ft) diameter Robbins EPB was designed to excavate granite, sand, silt, and clay with boulders up to 300 mm (12 inches) in diameter. The specialized design utilized a combination of 17-inch diameter disc cutters as well ...
