Tunnel boring machines are bespoke pieces of equipment vital to tunnel construction, and as the scale of these projects gets ever grander, so do the methods.
DESCRIPTION
Conveyor installation companies could soon be helping support excavation work on the A303 tunnel near Stonehenge, but a further legal challenge is possible.
Rubber is used for many different applications and is a popular material due to its strength and flexibility, but it needs to be vulcanised before it is used.
The task of conveyor belt installation will be one of the important steps in excavating a tunnel if a planned Docklands Light Railway extension goes ahead.
Major work to upgrade rail tunnels in Derbyshire have been completed. Conveyor belt repair services are beneficial when handling large-scale tunnel projects.
There may be a lot of conveyor belt installation work taking place in the north of England over the next few years if a new transport plan bears fruit.
Network Rail has announced work will soon begin upgrading tracks between Clay Cross Tunnel and Milford Tunnel, including new drainage and replacing sleepers.
The construction of transport tunnels is one of the largest, most ambitious and most challenging types of infrastructure projects you can do, and every element from the tunnel boring machines to the vulcanisation services needs to be optimal in order to avoid potential delays. There are a lot of factors that can affect delivery, as […]
The design of the last visible part of the HS2 Chiltern Tunnel has been published. While most of the ten-mile-long tunnel will be disguised by being built into the landscape, one part of the North Portal will be able to be seen from a footbridge. It will be one of only seven structures of the […]
