🚀 💥 Tunnelling Enthusiast & Pioneer for sustainable and circular tunnel operations and Separations Technology 💚♻️
This is how Herrenknecht Separations and Herrenknecht AG deal with the topic of rebuilding machinery♻️
𝗧𝗕𝗠 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 Depending by the equipment future use, it may be not always necessary to specify the highest and most expensive level of rebuilt. Therefore 2 levels of rebuilt are established: 1) 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (lower level extending the useful life of the product) 2) 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (higher level establishing a full new life cycle for the product) In TBM business, due to the complexity of the equipment and to specific project requirements, mixed solutions might be chosen. If you are interested to get more details about this topic, you might read the "ITAtech guidelines on Rebuilds of Machinery for mechanized tunnel excavation" (ITAtech report n. 5-V2 / March 2019), available online on the ITA-AITES website. A useful guideline creating a common language between all different parties involved into the project, resuming the main steps to be considered for a correct planning of the works. ITA-AITES

Senior Transportation Infrastructure Specialist, Managing and Supervising Tunnel & Metro Station Projects
The New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) is a construction technique for excavating tunnels that emphasises flexibility and adaptability. Developed in Austria in the 1960s, NATM involves sequential excavation and support, allowing engineers to adjust the tunnel design based on actual geological conditions encountered during construction. The method relies on the immediate application of primary support, typically shotcrete and rock bolts, followed by systematic monitoring and subsequent reinforcement as needed. This approach enables the optimisation of tunnel design in real-time, enhancing safety and minimising the need for extensive pre-planning, making it particularly suitable for varying and challenging geological formations.

To guarantee structural stability in construction, the bulk earthwork process includes filling, compacting, and stabilizing the earth for a robust foundation. This is vital for success as it prevents settling, boosts load-bearing capacity, and reduces the risk of long-term structural damage…a priority in projects handled by Noble Sovrano.

Breaking Ground’s latest episode, brought to you by Geofem, discusses the history and current implementations of the observational method in basement construction. Listen in now to hear host Steve Hadley speak with Hock Liong Liew, technical director at Mott MacDonald and Javier González Martí, commercial manager and senior instrumentation and monitoring (I&M) specialist, GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS LIMITED. Liew recently presented on the observational method at the GE Basements and Underground Structures conference. He kicks off the conversation by outlining why there is a need for the observational method, which was developed by the father of soil mechanics, Karl Terzaghi, in 1945. “One thing that [Terzaghi] found was that every time he worked on a project a new problem would come up. So there was not a single formula that he could solve the soil mechanics or ground engineering problems with,” says Liew. What he came up with was the idea of the observational method. This allows the design to be modified as the construction progresses by observing the response of the ground and the structures. “By doing that he established the importance of field observation and field measurements,” adds Liew. The idea was later defined, and the procedures of the method laid out, by civil engineer Ralph Peck in his 1969 Rankine Lecture. “One thing that [Peck] mentioned was that for the observational method to be successful you need a controlled mind, and that person must have authority over changes in design during construction,” says Liew. The method was then formalised in the Eurocode in 1987 and the most recent version of CIRIA 760 includes a process for using the method.
