China unveiled its first domestically developed combined bore-and-blast tunneling machine in Wuhan, Hubei Province. In localizing a large machine used in tunnel construction, the rollout was presented as a scene showing the technological accumulation of China's construction and machinery industries.
According to local reports, the machine rolled off the line in Wuhan. A tunneling machine is a large device that bores through tunnels; this one is said to be designed to combine boring and blasting functions so it can work even in sections of hard rock.
광고 문의 · 300×250Tunnel-boring machines are essential to large infrastructure works such as subways, railways and water projects. Because such large machines have been difficult to design and build, having the capacity to produce them domestically has been seen as a measure of industrial competitiveness.
Combining boring and blasting in one machine relates to work efficiency in sections with demanding geology. In mountain and underground works that hit hard rock, such combined functions can help shorten construction time and manage safety.
Hwagyo Sibo reports China's industrial-technology news around fact, without exaggerating achievements. Localizing large construction equipment is a trend worth noting for Chinese-owned firms active in infrastructure work and related parts and services.
