Tunnel Boring Machines

 
   
Bennett Associates (now known as Atkins, Rotherham) has a worldwide reputation for Mechanical and Structural Design with particular expertise on all types of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs).

Many of the leading Tunnelling Contractors are benefiting from the cost savings brought about by our "MIX and MATCH" service whereby existing redundant plant is checked, surveyed, re-configured and re- designed for use on new tunnel contracts.

In-house teams of specialists in stress and dynamic analysis use the latest powerful software and computing facilities to optimise designs. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is used to produce detailed drawings so that the client can carry out his own manufacture. Alternatively, we will provide project management to co-ordinate remote fabrication, test and inspect, site install and commission. Wherever practicable general assembly of the equipment is undertaken at the Tunnel Contractor's plant yard.

Advantages to be considered when using "Mix & Match" service

Bennett Associates' renowned design expertise
Maximum utilisation of existing plant
Promotion of commonality of spares
Detailed CAD fabrication drawing enabling manufacture by non-specialist
Fabrication and assembly taking place at tunnelling contactor's own plant yard
Increased familiarity of contractor's personnel with machine leading to improved operation at work face
Substantially reduced costs of finished machine
