Micro tunneling thrust control reduces jacking friction by optimizing force and lubrication, ensuring smoother, safer, and more efficient pipe installation.
A TBM tunnel stalls when thrust and torque fight due to imbalance, causing jamming, delays, and loss of progress. Proper balance ensures efficient tunneling.
Micro tunneling thrust tuning reduces joint leakage risk by optimizing force and alignment, ensuring pipe joints stay sealed and minimizing water intrusion.
High thrust raises hydraulic heat on the TBM machine by increasing fluid friction and pressure, causing higher oil temperatures and potential system issues.
