China develops world's first tunnel boring-and-blasting machine for mountainous terrain
China has unveiled an advanced hybrid tunnel boring and blasting machine that combines excavation with drilling and blasting techniques. With a thirty percent increase in hard-rock digging efficiency, this innovation revolutionizes project schedules. A collaboration between Tsinghua University and China Railway Group, the machine effectively tackles the difficulties posed by intricate geological tunneling challenges.
China unveils world-first tunnel machine with 2 modes, 30% more speed
China has unveiled what it says is the world’s first boring and blasting machine (BBM), a new tunneling system designed to handle some of the most difficult underground conditions. The machine rolled off the production line on Saturday at China Railway Science & Industry Group’s manufacturing base in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei Province. Officials announced the milestone, describing it as a major step for large tunnel construction in challengin…
China presented, on Saturday (1), the world's first integrated drilling and detonation machine, developed to meet the challenges of building deep and long-range tunnels. The equipment officially emerged from the production line at the Jiangxia manufacturing base in Wuhan, Hubei province, and represents an attempt to overcome one of the main technological obstacles of major infrastructure works.
China has taken automation of residential building construction to a level that has no Western equivalent. China Construction Third Engineering Research Institute developed the first “Residential Building Machine” — an automated 270-ton construction platform that moves vertically as the building grows, and that can climb a full floor (3 meters high) in just 80 minutes, according to Interesting Engineering.
