BabEng will support you when TBM operation becomes problematic, or even during so-called forensic engineering. With our practical out-of-the-box approach and know-how in various application techniques, BabEng will develop a concept with you (the constructor) to get TBMs quickly moving again and back under control.
Detailed knowledge about TBMs makes us a highly qualified project partner, able to complete critical tasks and solve problems decisively, swiftly and competently.
We analyze customer demands, judge basic conditions such as geology and structures and develop excavation concepts for tunnels and stations.
While we are comfortable relying on approved techniques and strategies, we are equally curious to develop new and well-founded solutions.
On a project in Northern Europe we assisted the contractor by deploying a specialized team to free the cutterhead under compressed air and to make a complete tool change. We are proud of our engineers who worked tirelessly in shifts to ensure the face stability.
Construction of two 5 km long highway tunnels under the Suez Canal with two Ø 13,0 m Slurry TBMs. Geology is made of sand with clay layers. Water pressure up to 6 bars. Checking of design and construction management.
Twin-tube 8,176 m (5 mi) long high-speed rail tunnel in the Alps with a maximum coverage of 65 m (213 ft) and a minimum coverage of 9.50 m (31 ft). Concept of conditioning and support for initial operation of TBM/tunneling machine. Technical support for difficult situations during excavation.
