Autonomous Tunnel Boring & Underground Construction
AI-guided TBMs and micro-tunneling rigs for safer, faster underground infrastructure.
Automation in tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and pipe-jacking improves steering accuracy, reduces ground settlement, and minimizes risk to operators. Applications span metros, utilities, and deep geothermal. Notable projects include Crossrail (UK), North-East Line (Singapore), and pilot micro-tunneling in dense Asian cities.
