      Indeed Robbins invented the TBM. And then stopped right there. What innovation worth mentioning did Robbi...remendous innovations in slurry technology field and also in big diameter TBM technologies.

          I think there are still strong business and technical cases for keeping to use Drill & Blast technology. Please check out the TBM article link.

            Hi, Why do you think TBM tunnelling is safer for workers?

              Absolutely right. TBM tunnelling is one of the techniques but it is not the only tunnelling technique. It is not one size fits all solution.

                  Sorry I replied at the wrong place. I repeat here: You are right. Cost is not the only reason why you may want to go for non-TBM tunnelling. As you have pointed out there are some other important considerations in favour of conventional tunnelling.

                        Hi Pedro, 3000Tag for one TBM should be sufficient. It is naturally coming with support and License and site installation to clients specs. I have used it my self on two TBM and it is really great.
