Designed to optimize performance while maintaining safety standards during underground excavation, Herrenknecht’s Multimode (MM) Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is an all-in-one, state-of-the-art engineering masterpiece. Herrenknecht MM TBM consists of the cutterhead, thrust system, and screw conveyor (Herrenknecht, n.d., Multimode TBM). Firstly, the cutterhead excavates the soil or rock. Secondly, the thrust system moves the TBM forward while tunnelling. Lastly, the screw conveyor conveys the debris from the cutterhead to the back of the TBM for removal. The MM TBM can operate on various geological conditions, including soft ground, heterogeneous ground, and rock formations (Herrenknecht, n.d.). According to the same webpage, two key features are its modular structure and integrated systems. The functions of these features allow clients to modify components in a relatively short time and at a lower cost when facing complex geological conditions. Additionally, the integrated system enables...
