Gripper TBM is a hard rock TBM which uses the ground to push the machine forward instead of pushing against the installed segments. Gripper TBM is explained in this video.

Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) construction is a mechanized tunnelling method used for excavating underground tunnels with minimal surface disruption. A TBM is a massive cylindrical machine equipped with a rotating cutterhead that excavates soil or rock while advancing forward. The excavated material is transported out of the tunnel via conveyor belts muck transportation or slurry pipelines, depending on the TBM type. Simultaneously, pre-cast concrete segments are installed along the tunnel walls t

Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is a machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata. There are different types of TBMs used in different ground condition. TBM selection is an important stage during the early stage of project and prior to construction. TBM should be designed in accordance with specific site requirements. Geology and ground water condition play an important role in TBM selection. Follow us at tunnel.engineering #tbmselection #t
