horizontal boring tunneling
Horizontal boring tunneling is a specialized method of creating underground passageways without disturbing the surface. This technique is primarily used for installing infrastructure such as pipelines, cables, and conduits. The main functions include excavating soil and rock, creating a stable tunnel, and installing the necessary utilities. Technological features of horizontal boring tunneling encompass the use of tunnel boring machines equipped with advanced guidance systems, cutting heads, and conveyance systems. These machines can bore through various terrains, including soil, sand, and rock, making the process versatile for different applications. The applications range from utility installation in urban environments, where surface disruption must be minimized, to large-scale projects like subway tunneling and water pipeline installations.
