This is a publication of ITAtech committee of ITA (International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association).
The purpose of the document is described as:
"The purpose of this ITAtech Guideline is to establish definitions and minimum requirements for rebuilding pre-used tunnelling machinery, as defined in section 1.3, that can be used for contract or rebuild scope specifications, by the project owner or contractor."
It is basically a checklist for re-assembly of a pre-used Tunnel Boring Machine.
A very valuable reference document published in 2019.
