About Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM):

  • A TBM is a machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata.
  • They can be designed to bore through anything from hard rock to sand.
  • TBMs have revolutionised the way tunnelling work is done all over the world as now tunnels can be bored without disturbing the buildings and other structures on the surface.
  • TBMs are especially useful for underground tunnelling work in congested urban areas.
  • DMRC has been using TBMs for its tunnelling work since Phase 1.
  • In Phase 3, when about 50 kilometres of underground sections were built, about 30 TBMs were pressed into service in the national capital.
