Tunnel Boring Machines

 
   
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.
