A Raise Boring Machine (RBM) is a specialised tunnelling equipment used for the construction of vertical shafts. It operates by first drilling a small pilot hole from the surface down to the desired depth using a rotating drill. Once the pilot hole is complete, a reaming head is attached at the bottom, which is then pulled upward by the machine at the surface. As the reaming head rotates and ascends, it breaks the surrounding rock, enlarging the pilot hole into a full-sized vertical shaft. #RaiseBoring #ShaftConstruction #Tunneling #CivilEngineering #MiningTechnology #RBM #VerticalShafts #Excavation #UndergroundConstruction #PilotHole #ReamingHead #RockBreaking #TunnelingTechnology #GeotechnicalEngineering #InfrastructureDevelopment #ConstructionInnovation #SafeExcavation #EfficientTunneling #MechanicalExcavation #deepshafts

A jumbo drill is vital in rock tunnelling for drilling blast holes and installing rock bolts, as well as creating pressure relief and drainage holes. Its multiple, adjustable arms can drill in nearly any direction, accommodating various rock formations and tunnelling needs. The machine's ability to use different drill bits enhances its adaptability, making it efficient for diverse geological conditions and drilling patterns, thereby improving both speed and safety in tunnel construction.

The Raise Boring method represents a cutting-edge approach in shaft construction for tunneling projects, known for its precision and efficiency. The process starts with the drilling of a pilot hole from the surface to the required depth, ensuring accuracy in reaching the target location. Once the pilot hole is completed, a reaming head is connected to the drill string and is used to gradually enlarge the hole as it is withdrawn upward. This results in the creation of a smooth, circular shaft with precise dimensions. The Raise Boring method excels in producing both vertical and inclined shafts, offering significant advantages over traditional blasting techniques, including reduced environmental impact, minimized surface disruption, and enhanced safety for workers. This technique's ability to deliver high-quality results with fewer complications makes it a preferred choice for modern tunneling operations. #RaiseBoring #ShaftConstruction #TunnelingTechniques #PrecisionEngineering #SafeTunneling #WaheedHamdani #InnovativeMethods #TunnelEngineering

SPLIT SET. Easy installation and immediate load capacity. It is a system of fortification with easy installation that acts through friction and offers immediate support. These attributes provide efficiency and safety in underground operations. The Split set, also known as a friction bolt, consists of a longitudinally grooved tube with a tapered end for easy insertion into the drill hole. How does it work? Due to its tapered shape, the bolt penetrates into a hole with a diameter smaller than its outer diameter through impacts. When inserted, forces are generated against the walls of the hole that create friction resistance along the entire bolt. Key advantages of SPLIT SET ▪ Immediate load capacity ▪ Easy and quick installation ▪ High adaptability to the terrain   Fields of application ▪ Underground mining ▪ Tunnel construction ▪ Infrastructure operation   At Onix Underground, safety and efficiency are paramount, which is why each of our bolts is designed with cutting-edge technology and subjected to rigorous quality controls. This guarantees their optimal and reliable performance even in the most extreme conditions.   Want to know more about our Split set? 👇 https://lnkd.in/e-hr9cEv #SplitSet #Safety #Undergroundmining #Tunneling #GroundSupportSystems #OnixUnderground #ThePowerOfSafety

Pile alignment control Maintaining correct pile’s verticality or inclination during installation is a key factor for construction survey. When piles move out of alignment tolerance, it is often due to control issues with hammer-pile alignment or to soil conditions. If due to poor hammer-pile alignment control, a pile gate, template, or fixed lead system may improve the ability to maintain alignment tolerance. Soil conditions, such as near-surface obstructions or steeply sloping bedrock having minimal overburden material, can also disrupt alignment. The pile’s position can change after each hammer hit or during drilling, therefore constant position change monitoring is needed. Modern practices, used mostly for piles driven on waterbodies, involve use of several instruments, such as total stations and inclinometers. #piling #surveying #marineconstruction
