A Successful Outcome No Matter the Challenge <\/span><\/h3>\n

Although tunnels may look different from country to country and location to location, they have one thing in common: tunnel construction comes with its challenges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acknowledging the complexities involved in tunnel construction, which can include geological, engineering, and logistical challenges is a given, and though there may be many elements out of one\u2019s control, introducing a Brokk robot into the mix means that you can predict the future outcome of the project, and know that it will be successful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diamond Drilling SRL successfully widened a tunnel in Bulgaria with a tight one-month deadline. If that wasn\u2019t a challenge in itself, this particular project was undertaken in November; known to be a cold and rainy period in Bulgaria, further complicating the tunneling project. Diamond Drilling SRL attributes the success of the project to the use of Brokk demolition robots, their unmatched versatility and unparalleled reliability. Let\u2019s dig a little deeper into the specifics of their success story. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Project in Numbers<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Diamond Drilling SRL is a global company specializing in concrete cutting and grading services who was recently tasked with a tunneling project in Bulgaria. They were tasked with widening an existing tunnel using a BROKK 200<\/a> and BROKK 520D<\/a>\u00a0to perform the bulk of the demolition project.<\/span> The tunnel, which was 100 meters long (328 feet), required a 9-meter (30 feet) by 1.8-meter (5.9 feet) expansion at its midpoint. The original tunnel diameter was 3.2 meters (10 feet), and they were tasked with increasing it to 7 meters (23 feet), meaning a total of 25 meters (82 feet) of concrete and 150 cubic meters (304 sq feet) of granite needed to be safely removed. The 9-meter (30 feet) expansion included the installation of metal arches and SHOTCRETE CONSOLIDATION<\/a> between each stage, for a total of seven stages. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
