An apparatus for excavating a tunnel includes a cutting wheel equipped with measuring modules of sensor means on its cutting wheel face in order to directly sample the consistency of the material present between the cutting wheel face and a tunnel face by recording different types of measured values characteristic of this.

The present invention relates to a loaded-to-frame detection equipment for backfill grouting of a shield tunnel, including an automatic loaded-to-frame transmission apparatus, a ground penetrating radar, and an intelligent backfill grouting processing and analysis software. The equipment is integrated by using software and hardware, and can implement real-time visual detection of a backfill grouting layer in a shield construction process. The loaded-to-frame automatic transmission apparatus mainly includes a track, a synchronous belt, a transmission mechanism, a servo machine, and a drive and reducer; and a new air-coupled radar detection apparatus is carried on the loaded-to-frame automatic transmission apparatus and is installed on a shield frame. With the shield performs tunneling, circular detection on a grouting body of the shield and visual layered display of the grouting body are implemented.

Long tunnels of many kilometres are likely to pass through a range of geologies which may cause problems. The present invention seeks to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by: drilling a first bore 10 along a first predetermined path, the first bore having a length of at least 25 m; drilling a plurality of second bores 20 along respective second predetermined paths, each substantially parallel to the first predetermined path in order to define a substantially prism-shape region therebetween; and excavating material within the substantially prism-shape region to form a tunnel. In this way, data from drilling the first bore 10 and the plurality of second bores 20 can be recorded and used to inform operators as to the types of material through which they will be excavating. Thus, a more complete view of the underlying geology can be achieved before beginning excavations.

Provide is a method for real-time deviation monitoring of miniature pipe-roofing jacking pipes of spiral soil-discharging. The method includes: welding a measurement auxiliary pipe to an outer wall of a pipe-roofing steel pipe, providing a laser pen inside a front end of the measurement auxiliary pipe, and the laser pen emits a beam propagating from the front end to a rear end of the measurement auxiliary pipe. After installation, a male lock buckle and a female lock buckle are symmetrically welded onto the pipe-roofing steel pipe, and form an integrated structure with the pipe-roofing steel pipe. A measurement plate is fixedly mounted on a housing of a pipe-roofing drilling machine. During jacking, a change of a position of the beam on the measurement plate is observed to determine a deviation of a drill bit of the pipe-roofing drilling machine and the pipe-roofing steel pipe in real-time.

A system and method for simultaneous excavation and segment erection of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) by Thrust shell system is an invention in tunnelling industry which will provide possibility of erection of the segmental ring while TBM is excavating and advancing forward with minimum interruption which will result in significantly increasing of the tunneling speed. The increased speed of the tunnelling will be reducing cost of the construction expressively. At this system and method, the TBM thrust cylinders will be pushing against previously installed segmental ring via combination of a thrust shell and an expandable ring while a new segmental ring is being built by TBM's segment erector within the Thrust shell's provided inner space.

A directional drilling-exploring-monitoring integrated method for guaranteeing safety of an underwater shield tunnel includes: drilling a small-diameter borehole below a water area, and establishing an initial geological model; reaming the small-diameter borehole into a large-diameter borehole, placing a parallel electrical method (PEM) power cable and a monitoring optical fiber cable into the large-diameter borehole, acquiring zero field data, primary field data and secondary field data through carbon rod measurement electrodes before tunnel excavation, and processing the data with an existing inversion method to form an inversion image, thereby obtaining a refined geological model of a stratum; starting the tunnel excavation, and respectively acquiring a disturbance condition of rock and soil and a sedimentation and deformation condition of rock and soil around the tunnel during the excavation, thereby implementing safety excavation of the tunnel; and continuously monitoring the tunnel and the surrounding rock and soil in later use of the tunnel.
