Tunneling & Microtunneling

Tunneling Capabilities

RHSC Tunnel Boring Machines range in outside diameter (OD) from 1500 millimeters to 4200 millimeters. A Standard RHSC micro tunnel boring machine (mTBM) has the ability to execute tunnels with lengths above 500 meters, depths that reach 50 meters, and groundwater pressure that reaches 3 bar.
Our mTBMs can also tunnel through rock formations with compressive strengths that reach 250 mega pascals (MPa).

Tunneling Equipment

RHSC owns various Tunneling Machines from OD1427mm – OD4200mm, such as: AVN Slurry Machines, TBM with screw conveyor and Roadheaders.
