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.
Propelling Excellence: Unleashing the Power of Innovation in TBM
As a testament to our dedication to pushing boundaries, we are eagerly preparing our designs to participate in the Not-A-Boring competition. This prestigious event serves as a platform for our Propulsion Team to exhibit their pioneering technology, gain valuable insights, and compete on the global stage, setting new benchmarks in the industry.
Our vision extends beyond competition, as we strive to contribute to the improvement of TBMs worldwide. The innovative propulsion and control systems developed by our team aim to redefine industry standards, making tunneling operations more efficient, adaptable, and sustainable across various geological conditions. Embark on a groundbreaking journey with our Propulsion Team as they spearhead the creation of a revolutionary articulating and navigational system for Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). This dedicated team is not only driving the TBM but is also navigating through challenging underground terrains. With a focus on advancing AI and control systems, we are poised to redefine the TBM industry on a global scale.
