A significant in-depth
analysis by Indeco aimed
at tunnelling specialists
Why use a hydraulic rock breaker for
tunnelling? The answer lies in its versatility,
as a breaker can adapt rapidly to changes
in the type of rock mass, as we can
see from this, the first publication on
tunnelling, written by Indeco in conjunction
with the Engineering Department at
Bari Polytechnic. Tunneling works are
inherently complex and there are plenty
of variables to consider. There are many
situations where a TBM (or Tunnel Boring
Machine), one of the most widespread
and best-known methods, cannot be
used for a variety of reasons (such as size
and location of the tunnel, curve radius,
logistical challenges, lack of flexibility of
use) that would involve excessive costs
