Bennett Associates 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 the Bennett Associates' "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 Bennett Associates 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.
