At any given time, Robbins TBMs are operating at dozens of jobsites around the world.\u00a0 Our dedicated Field Service personnel take video and pictures of the TBM progress often, so we\u2019ve decided to offer a periodic roundup of what\u2019s going on in a picture-based blog\u2013from machine assembly for India’s Mumbai Metro to extremely hard rock encountered in Vietnam. Read on to found out the latest.<\/p>\n

SIMULTANEOUS BUILDS FOR MUMBAI METRO<\/h4>\n

Mumbai, India’s massive Metro Line 3 project requires multiple TBMs on various contracts.\u00a0 A total of four Robbins TBMs will bore on two separate contracts–two 6.65 m (21.8 ft) Crossover (XRE) TBMs<\/a> for contract UGC-01, and two 6.65 m (21.8 ft) Slurry TBMs for contract UGC-03<\/a>.\u00a0 Assembly of the first Crossover TBM<\/a> and the first Slurry TBM on each contract are occurring simultaneously, and are being overseen by our experienced Field Service crews.<\/p>\n

EXTREME HARD ROCK IN VIETNAM<\/h4>\n

Robbins Field Service crews operating the Main Beam TBM<\/a> at Vietnam’s Thuong Kon Tum HEPP have encountered granitic rock exceeding 300 MPa UCS and high water inflows.\u00a0 Despite the challenges the tunnel is more than 85% complete.<\/p>\n

AN EPIC PROJECT IN MEXICO<\/h4>\n

With one of three Robbins lots completed at Mexico City’s massive 62 km (39 mi) Emisor Oriente<\/a> tunnel, Field Service efforts are focused on completing Lots 4 and 5 in difficult mixed ground conditions.\u00a0 The customized EPB TBMs<\/a> are boring through some of the most challenging conditions in the world, from abrasive basalt to watery clays and boulders.<\/p>\n

A JOB WELL DONE IN ALBANIA<\/h4>\n

TBM assembly and breakthrough is often discussed, but disassembly can be just as complicated. Following the recent breakthrough<\/a> of the Crossover (XRE) TBM<\/a> in Albania (the first machine of its kind in Europe) for the Moglic\u00eb\u00a0 Headrace Tunnel, Field Service crews are working to disassemble the machine in an underground launch chamber.<\/p>\n
