<p>The tunnel boring system is particularly for use in soft ground and at shallow depths, and where solid obstacles will be encountered. A tunnel-shaped working chamber is driven into the ground, and behind it tunnel sections of the same external diameter are installed in succession.

An air pressure vessel is provided to keep the top part under pressure.</p> |
