Robbins Crossover TBMs

02/06/2015

Robbins has announced its new Crossover Series of TBMs, a line of field-tested, rugged Dual Mode-type machines. Crossover TBMs feature aspects of two TBM types, and are ideal for mixed ground conditions that might otherwise require multiple tunnelling machines. The XRE (standing for Crossover Rock/EPB) is the most common type of hybrid machine, and features characteristics of Single Shield Hard Rock machines and EPBs for efficient excavation in mixed soils with rock. XRS (Rock/Slurry) and XSE (Slurry/EPB) complete the lineup. Read the press release and visit www.TheRobbinsCompany.com. 23/15.
