Overview

Advanced Trenchless Tunneling Technology

This pipe roofing machine represents a specialized trenchless construction solution designed for pre-supporting soil on the periphery of tunnel faces. By installing a protective canopy of steel tubes before excavation, it ensures safe tunneling operations, particularly when passing beneath existing infrastructure like highways or railways. The system utilizes slurry balance technology for precise pressure control, effectively minimizing ground settlement during construction.
