600 Tons
Added Value to the Customer:
· This operation successfully completed a critical phase of the infrastructure project, ensuring minimal disruption and enhancing the project's overall efficiency.
· The use of innovative systems and precise engineering contributed to a cost-effective, high-quality solution that ensures the project remains on track for timely completion.
Engineering Concept:
· The project involved transporting a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) over a distance of 190 meters using the Skidding System. This operation required in-depth analysis and careful planning to manage complex challenges, such as a ground-level difference of over 150 cm.
· The task was executed with precision, ensuring the safe transfer of the TBM from the cradle to the steel bell.
Fast-Track Solution:
· Weight Management: Specialized hydraulic systems were employed to safely support and move the TBM, ensuring stability throughout the operation.
· Precise Movement: The Skidding System, combined with hydraulic lifting units, enabled controlled and accurate positioning of the TBM across the ground difference.
Systems in Use:
· Skidding System: This advanced system was used to facilitate the smooth, controlled movement of the TBM over the specified distance.
· Hydraulic Lifting Jacks: These were utilized to manage the heavy lifting and ensure stability during the process.
