Our Team

Tunnel excavation requires machines to operate in various geological condition with precision, they have historically required a lot of manual supervision for safety and success.

The Automation Team aims to change this. They are responsible for automating the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) to reduce manual operation labour and allowing it to be operated remotely.

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) have traditionally required significant manual oversight to manage the soil removal process during excavation.

The Excavation Team are focused on automating the soil removal mechanism of TBMs to reduce manual labor and enable remote operation, making tunnel excavation safer and more efficient.

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) require a complex articulating and navigation systems accounting for differing underground terrains to effectively dig.

The Propulsion Team leads the development of these systems, researching advanced AI and control systems to push the boundaries on efficient and sustainable tunnel digging.

Bringing together the TBMs requires careful fabrication and assembly of materials, utilizing various digital modelling technologies.

The Structure Team is responsible for managing the assembly and disassembly of the lining structure. We manage the prototyping and designing of every component to ensure sustainable TBM construction.

The Industry Team works to build and maintain relationships with external partners, clients, and stakeholders across the sector. They help align the company’s work with real-world industry needs, ensuring relevance, collaboration, and impact. 

The Events and Marketing Team is responsible for organising events and creating campaigns that promote the MBEST's vision, products, and achievements. They manage communications, branding, and outreach to engage audiences and support business growth.
