2017隧道协会颁奖大会

Event Name: ITA Tunneling Awards 2017
Date: November 15, 2017
Location: Paris, France
Venue: Salle Wagram

The Robbins Company is excited to announce that the recently completed Túnel Emisor Poniente (TEP) II has been nominated as an ITA Tunneling Awards finalist for Project of the Year. Winners will be announced at the ITA Tunneling Awards that will take place during the AFTES Congress in Paris, France on November 15.

The Robbins XRE TBM and its Robbins continuous conveyor system were built on location using Onsite First Time Assembly (OFTA), and featured components like a convertible cutterhead with interchangeable cutting tools, interchangeable TBM belt conveyor and screw conveyor, and multi-speed gearboxes to increase torque for tunneling through difficult ground. The 8.7 m (28.5 ft) diameter Robbins Crossover TBM bored a 5.8 km (3.6 mi) long wastewater tunnel, setting two national records in the process. The completed project will prevent flooding in urban areas and benefit the lives of 2.1 million people.

TBM Disc Cutters in the Field: Extreme Tunnel Conditions Inform the Latest Cutting Tool Advancements | Paper Author: Steve Smading

Extreme tunneling conditions call for the most robust TBM cutting tools possible—whether that includes hard and abrasive rock, long-distance tunnels of 15 km or more, or high water pressures.  This paper examines the use of disc cutters under extreme conditions and the design aspects making the difficult tunneling process possible. Resulting cutter design changes and more will be outlined in the presentation along with initial results from field and laboratory testing.

Difficult Ground Solutions: A Methodology for Enhanced TBM Performance in Challenging Conditions | Paper Author: Doug Harding

In many rock projects, the occurrence of squeezing ground, high inrushes of water, blocky rock, and other challenges is a real possibility.  Today’s highly adaptable TBMs are capable of tackling these tough conditions using cutting-edge technology coupled with modern ground investigation methods. Difficult Ground Solutions (DGS)—a series of adaptable and customizable features for shielded TBMs—can reduce risk to contractors and owners while providing accurate ground investigation.  This paper covers difficult ground solutions informed by field experiences, the tools it takes to be successful in such conditions, and how they are applied. Example projects will be discussed from the U.S., Turkey, Nepal, and more.

免费网络研讨会:压力下的表现

土压力平衡盾构机(EPB)是目前隧道工程中应用最广泛的一种掘进机,但其在不同地质条件下的合理设计和使用却不常被讨论。粘土、砂、砾石、混合面条件和巨石都需要独特的盾构机设计和专家操作。无论这意味着利用耐磨电镀,重型螺旋输送机,或定制切割工具,今天的盾构机都面临挑战。在操作方面,使用正确的转速、适当的添加剂和详细的监测可以使沉降保持在最低限度,减少停机时间。

在这场免费的60分钟网络研讨会上,罗宾斯工程经理Brad Grothen和罗宾斯盾构首席工程师Shinichi Konda将探讨盾构机的工作原理、各种设计和现实应用。他们将从多种地质类型的现场数据中提取数据,对盾构机的设计和操作提出明智的建议。还将讨论“包括高刀具磨损和适当形成插头的能力”。
