Bored/TBM Tunnel Design

Urban tunneling involves navigating diverse ground conditions and addressing multiple challenges, including restricted work access, settlement-sensitive structures, and socio-economic constraints such as noise, dust emissions, and traffic disruptions. These projects require tailored technical solutions, often leading to significant costs.

The development of large-scale urban infrastructure is frequently debated, with cost considerations weighed against the broader social and economic benefits. This article explores the socio-economic justifications for major urban tunneling projects and highlights key technical solutions essential for their successful implementation in urban environments.

At Bouw Consultants™, we provide comprehensive TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) tunneling design services, tailored to meet the unique challenges of each project. Our expertise ensures efficient, safe, and cost-effective tunneling solutions for metro, highway, railway, and water conveyance tunnels.
