A tunnel excavation device includes a first body portion and an erector device. The first body portion includes a cutter head and a support portion rotatably supporting the cutter head. The erector device is configured to transport a supporting member toward an excavated wall surface. The erector device is provided on the support portion. The erector device includes a ring portion holding the supporting member, and a posture changing device configured to change an angle formed by a center axis of the ring portion and a rotation axis of the cutter head in a plan view.

A screen handling system is provided for a rock drilling device including a feed assembly, at least one rail system supporting the feed assembly for translational movement relative to a boom along a first axis, and an actuator for advancing a bit or bolt into a rock face parallel to the first axis. The screen handling system includes a pad disposed proximate the bit or bolt, a block having a bore that defines a second axis parallel to the first axis, a gripper at least partially disposed within and axially moveable relative to the bore in a direction along the second axis, and a drive mechanism coupled to the block that is capable of continuously rotating the pad about the second axis to a desired orientation.

A composite support structure, a construction system, and a method, the composite support structure includes a plurality of arc plate rings that are longitudinally arranged along a roadway. A concrete fill steel tube support is arranged on an inner side or an outer side of each arc plate ring. The arc plate ring is formed by splicing a plurality of arc plates. Each concrete fill steel tube support is formed by splicing a plurality of steel pipe sections. The arc plate rings and the concrete fill steel tube supports are capable of jointly supporting walls of the roadway. The support structure has high bearing capability, high construction efficiency of a construction system, and low labor intensity.

A rapid construction method for a secondary lining of a small-section tunnel includes steps of: transporting and store secondary lining steel bars to a designated position in the tunnel with a steel bar transport vehicle and a wheel type dump truck; after the tunnel is cleaned, simultaneously constructing the secondary lining from two ends to a middle of the tunnel; constructing a lower inverted arch with a customized inverted arch formwork and then constructing an upper arch wall with a plurality of portal arch wall formwork trolleys; wherein the portal arch wall formwork trolleys form a set, and are connected by hinges, so as to construct in a curve tunnel. The rapid construction method has a long single construction section, and procedure connection is compact, thereby realizing rapid and efficient construction of the secondary lining.

Techniques and mechanisms to form a reinforcement structure including dirt processed during drilling of a tunnel. In an embodiment, a device includes a drill head to drill an underground tunnel, where a housing of the device takes in dirt produced by such drilling. A mixer and other components of the device variously condition the dirt to produce a casing material that is subsequently provided to a compactor of the device. The compactor extrudes the casing material through a die. The extruded casing material is eliminated from the device to form a reinforcement structure at one or more sides of the tunnel. In another embodiment, a fiber optic cable is paid out from the device into the tunnel during the drilling, or is pulled into the tunnel by the device during the drilling.

A method for mounting a roll of protective mesh material to an underground rock drilling machine comprising at least one drilling boom. The method comprises at least the following steps: inserting a first end of a first bar from a first lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material into a center of the roll of protective mesh material, fastening the first bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom, inserting a first end of a second bar from a second lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material opposite the first lateral side into the center of the roll of protective mesh material, fastening the second bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom in a location that is spaced apart from the first bar, securing the roll of protective mesh material against autonomous unrolling.
