During the excavation of the Xueshan Tunnel, three tunnel boring machines (Tunnel Boring Machines, TBMs) were introduced, which led to the planning of a TBM park in Toucheng, Yilan. The location of the park is under the Viaduct of Toucheng Interchange as a memorial. Let everyone know about the great heroes behind the Snow Mountain Tunnel. The total length of the drilling machine from the main engine to the end of the support system at the back should be 100 meters, which is super spectacular. TBM Park includes parking lots on both sides of the viaduct, TBM square, public art tunnel excavator, interpretation space, fitness equipment, artificial turf rest area, etc. Let’s take a look.
National Highway No. 5 is a safe way for the people of Yilan to return home. The Snow Mountain Tunnel is the most difficult project in the construction of National Highway No. 5. The 12.9-kilometer tunnel, due to the hard geology and broken faults, in addition to the engineering It is a difficult process of fighting against the counterattack of nature with collective willpower. After 13 years of hard work, every inch of the body of TBM Beiyi No. 1 in the snow tunnel pilot pit depicts the hard work. The mottled rust marks on the fuselage are the traces of the years, and the blood and sweat of countless engineers. Memories carved out of tears.
The TBM public art tunnel excavator uses the dialogue between the restructured TBM and the land to tell a profound and brave experience. Beiyi No. 1 is not just a hard and cold steel machine after successful completion, but also a commemorative monument with human warmth.
A distant photo of the full-face tunnel boring machine. See your friends passing by? In fact, the machine is very tall and very large, a monster with a height of more than 3 meters.
The main engine of the full-face tunnel drilling machine is introduced. Some main engines include cutters, front shields, slag inlets, main jacks and other equipment. For proper nouns, please ask friends who are interested to Google by themselves.
Side view of the main engine of the full-section tunnel boring machine.
A recent photo of the cutter head of the tunnel boring machine. The cutter looks solid, but its diameter is 50 cm, which is quite large. When the cutter head rotates, the hydraulic propulsion cylinder pushes the cutter head into the rock, and the high-pressure propulsion drives the rolling cutter to make cracks in the rock, and then the rock fragments fall off. Transported to the conveyor belt inside the main engine, and then the gravel is transported to the rear for removal, so as to continue to drill holes forward.
An introduction to the support system for full-face tunnel boring machines. It includes dust collection equipment, electrical room, oil pressure system, air duct and many other logistical equipment.
From the mottled traces left by the tunnel boring machine, one can imagine the difficult predicament when digging snow-capped tunnels.
The Tunnel Boring Machine is a great and impressive machine designed and manufactured by Robbins Company in the United States.
Dust collection equipment.
The end of the full-face tunnel boring machine support system contains some transport-related facilities.
There is a mini park behind the tunnel boring machine, but there are not many facilities.
Hillsides and caves. The rich man's family was tired from the traffic jam and wanted to get out of the car after driving for a long time, so they discovered this scenic spot by accident. I recommend it to all friends to come here for a rest. Before leaving, I also met a tour group who came to appreciate the drilling machine.
