Using a high-pressure water jet-assisted tunnel boring machine to break rock

The concept of tunnel boring machine (TBM) disc cutter rock breaking coupled with high-pressure water jets has been proposed to overcome the difficulties that occur when TBMs encounter extremely hard rocks. Thus, to meet actual engineering requirements for the TBM construction of tunnels as part of...
