A Complete Guide to Tunnel Gantries for Underground Construction
•
Tunnel construction equipment must support the wide range of demanding tasks involved in a tunnel project, including excavation, reinforcement, concrete lining, material transportation, and services within confined underground environments. A tunnel gantry is a key framework structure that supports and sequences these activities while enabling the tunnelling process to progress along the tunnel alignment. Contractors…

What Are the Benefits of Using a Cavern Tunnel Gantry in Tunnel Construction?
•
In some underground construction projects, intricate structures may require specific formwork and specialised construction equipment. Caverns are larger structures that are far more difficult to build than a typical tunnel section, and they also require accurate concrete lining and support formwork. A cavern tunnel gantry can be an economical solution for reliable formwork, concrete placement,…

What Factors Should You Consider When Selecting a Bellmouth Tunnel Gantry?
•
Tunnel construction projects often require challenging geometries, changing tunnel profiles and complex reinforcement and lining needs. A good bellmouth tunnel gantry enables fast formwork solutions for tunnel sections that increase in size, intersect other tunnels, or pass into a larger underground structure. Selecting the right gantry for this type of task is essential to maintain…

Hydraulic Tunnel Formwork vs Mechanical Tunnel Formwork: Key Differences, Benefits
•
Reliable formwork in tunnel construction is essential to achieve a unique concrete lining with quality and precision. The two most common tunnel formwork types are hydraulic tunnel formwork and mechanical tunnel formwork. Both can be used for all types of tunnel lining work, but they differ in their adjustment capabilities. What Is Hydraulic Tunnel Formwork?…
