TMB is used as an alternative to drilling and blasting (DB) methods. TBMs are used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of subterranean matter; hard rock, sand or almost anything in between.As the TBM moves forward, the round cutter heads cut into the tunnel face and splits off large chunks of rock. the cutter head carves a smooth round hole through the rock…
