罗宾斯两台盾构机泰姬陵立下重要里程碑
近日，印度阿格拉地铁项目现场传来振奋人心的消息，标志着项目团队共同见证了又一重要里程碑的达成。一台绰号“亚穆纳”，直径6.52米的罗宾斯土压平衡盾构机（EPB）成功贯通了连接SN医学院地铁站的中间段，全长约508米，穿越复杂的软粘土层，这标志着绰号“亚穆纳”实现了令人瞩目的第四次重大贯通里程碑。
罗宾斯辐条式土压平衡隧道掘进机在不到三个月的时间里，完成了一段长 508 米的软黏土层掘进作业。
这台 “亚穆纳”盾构机，作为阿格拉地铁一期项目中两台盾构机之一，其姊妹机“恒河”正同步开挖平行隧道。这两台机器在全长29.40公里的阿格拉地铁一期项目中持续稳步掘进。
此次贯通，对承包商Afcons基础建设与Sam印度联合公司而言，是项目推进中的重大胜利。自今年3月23日正式始发以来，该盾构机在不到三个月的时间内完成了艰巨任务，体现了高效与稳定的施工能力。罗宾斯总裁Lok Home对此表示祝贺，并强调了对罗宾斯掘进机耐用性和设计构造的信心，称赞了Afcons-Sam印度联合公司在复杂城市环境中的出色表现。
尤为值得一提的是，在以往的隧道开挖中，该机曾仅距离世界文化遗产泰姬陵约200米处实现贯通。这样历史性的开挖及贯通过程，不仅引起了广泛的关注，还受到了印度总理办公室以及众多重要机构的严密监控与全程追踪。
Long Haul TBM: Use of a Rebuilt Main Beam Machine at the DigIndy Tunnel System in Indianapolis, IN
TBMs can last for decades and be rebuilt project after project with proper maintenance. How successful can rebuilt TBMs be? At the DigIndy Tunnel System in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, a rebuilt TBM was used to great effect. The 6.2 m diameter Main Beam, originally manufactured in 1980, bored 40+ km of tunnels and set three world records in its size class of 6 to 7 m, including a best month of 1,754 m. In this paper, the authors analyze the TBM rebuild, performance and lessons learned to make recommendations for future projects seeking to use rebuilt TBMs over long distances.
Evaluating TBM Design and Performance, 30 Years Apart: The Lesotho Highlands Water Tunnel, Phase 1 and Phase 2
Two massive tunnel projects 30 years apart: The Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) is a multi-phased project that has taken place over decades to provide water to the Gauteng region of South Africa and to generate hydroelectricity for Lesotho. Phase I tunneling began in 1992 and utilized multiple Main Beam TBMs to bore long tunnels in basalt and dolerite ground conditions. Phase II, now under construction, consists of 38 km of transfer tunnel to be excavated by both TBM and drill & blast.
This paper details the design for the TBMs to be used on the Phase II tunnel, while comparing the modern-day machines to the history-making Main Beams used in the 1990s. It draws some conclusions and lessons learned about boring in volcanic rock at depth utilizing Main Beam vs. Double Shield TBMs.

速度非凡双护盾提前11个月实现贯通
5月8日，尼泊尔新都里区举行了一场盛大的贯通仪式，庆祝罗宾斯一台速度非凡的双护盾硬岩掘进机（TBM）成功征服逊科西马林崎岖山地，提前11个月完成了隧道掘进任务。这一壮举不仅彰显了人类工程技术的卓越成就，也为尼泊尔的基础设施建设树立了新的里程碑。 点击观看贯通视频
在尼泊尔总理普什帕・卡迈勒・达哈尔出席的贯通仪式上，众人共同庆祝了这一里程碑式的隧道掘进机贯通 —— 比原计划提前了 11 个月。
这个工程是尼泊尔逊科西马林引水隧道项目（SMDMP），隧道长达13.3公里，是穿越喜马拉雅山脉最长的TBM隧道之一，更是尼泊尔完成的第二条TBM隧道。直径为6.4米的罗宾斯双护盾掘进机在面对极具挑战性的地质条件时，展现出了卓越的性能和适应性。
该项目地质条件复杂多变，包括两个主要的断层带，涵盖了高度节理的泥岩、砂岩、砾岩以及石英岩、花岗岩等多种地质情况。隧道主要穿越火成岩，最大埋深高达惊人的1320米。尽管掘进过程中遭遇了多次护盾被困的困境，甚至有一次在隧道掘进4公里处，掘进机被坍塌和挤压的地面困住长达27天，但经验丰富的施工团队凭借坚韧不拔的精神和迅速的反应速度，成功为掘进机脱困并继续开挖作业。
值得一提的是，在2024年3月，这台掘进机创下了一个月掘进1503.3米和一天掘进72.6米的纪录，两项数据均创下了项目新高。这一成绩不仅弥补了之前因地质问题导致的时间延误，还充分展示了罗宾斯掘进机的高效与可靠。SMDMP项目施工商中铁二局中海外项目经理刘凤凡说：“罗宾斯总体的设计非常合理，设备的性能和完整性都非常的好。而且它在喜马拉雅山地层的适应性也非常的不错”
此次使用的掘进机是一台经过翻新升级的设备，它最初在尼泊尔的第一条TBM隧道——巴瑞巴贝多功能引水项目中以较小的直径作业。施工商项目副经理、TBM生产经理靳海宽对此表示赞赏：“这台机器整合了巴瑞巴贝项目中直径为5.06米的掘进机的整体结构，并成功升级到6.4米直径。所有新的前护盾组件都采用了现场首次安装调试方案（OFTA）组装，这非常有效且值得注意。”
随着隧道的完工，供电和供水工作也将随即展开。该隧道将连接马林河上一座新的28.6兆瓦地面发电厂，有望缓解当地电力供应短缺的问题。同时，它还将用于特莱平原地区的农田灌溉项目，将逊科西河的水引至马林河，为当地居民带来实实在在的福祉。
该项目由尼泊尔能源、水资源和灌溉部下属的水资源和灌溉部负责监督实施。项目的成功完成不仅对受益社区具有重大意义，更为尼泊尔未来的隧道建设提供了宝贵的经验和借鉴。罗宾斯公司总裁Lok Home在贯通仪式上表示：“中铁二局及中国海外工程公司和罗宾斯成功地在尼泊尔引进并推广了TBM技术，展示了其巨大优势。尼泊尔未来需要建设更多的隧道，而我们在这两个项目中取得的出色表现无疑为这个国家和我们的行业注入了强大的动力。”
