For the hardest rock, your Brokk robot will work as a drill rig, and possibly as a splitter. For medium rock, the powerful breaker will often be enough to get the job done. And for the softest material, the Brokk drum cutter or bucket will help you get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Brokk robots are unique in their ability to transform into different machines within a few minutes minutes, just by changing its attachment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"brokk-image-grid\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/cross-passages-and-safety-nisches\/attachment\/samsung-csc-3\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7677 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/cross-passages-and-safety-niches-2\/attachment\/samsung-csc-3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b500_breaker_sb702_tunnelling_follo_norway_2017_2-420x280-1-420x280.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b500_breaker_sb702_tunnelling_follo_norway_2017_2-420x280-1.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b500_breaker_sb702_tunnelling_follo_norway_2017_2-420x280-1-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/cross-passages-and-safety-niches-2\/attachment\/b800_breaker_mb1200_tunnelling_tbm_launch-chamber_china_guangzhou-metro-2-420x280\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b800_breaker_mb1200_tunnelling_tbm_launch-chamber_china_guangzhou-metro-2-420x280-1-420x280.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b800_breaker_mb1200_tunnelling_tbm_launch-chamber_china_guangzhou-metro-2-420x280-1.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/b800_breaker_mb1200_tunnelling_tbm_launch-chamber_china_guangzhou-metro-2-420x280-1-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/cross-passages-and-safety-niches-2\/attachment\/img_1057-420x280\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/img_1057-420x280-1-420x280.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/img_1057-420x280-1.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.brokk.com\/us\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/img_1057-420x280-1-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross Passages and Safety Niches The development of cross passages in road or metro tunnels can sometimes be a challenging and time-sensitive task.
