//TBM maintenance and component replacement

A software solution was developed to automate the process of controlling the timeliness of component replacement. The system allows visualisation of the tunnelling boring machine with the components placed on it.

Regular TBM maintenance, including component replacement, is essential to avoid delays and ensure optimal performance.
Challenge
The core functional part of the tunnel boring machine (TBM) is the metal structure at the front, which is responsible for rock destruction, excavation retraction, and machine advancement. This shield structure comprises numerous consumable elements, such as cutters, spheres, and wheels, which are crucial for the TBM's operation. However, these components wear out quickly and require timely replacement to maintain the efficiency and progress of the tunneling process. Regular TBM maintenance, including component replacement, is essential to avoid delays and ensure optimal performance. Proper management of TBM parts and accessories is vital for the longevity and effectiveness of the tunnel boring operations.

Solution and delivered value

NATLEX developed a software solution to automate the control and timeliness of TBM component replacement. The system visualizes the tunnel boring machine with all its components, allowing for easy monitoring. Results from manual inspections of component conditions are entered into the system, enabling efficient control of replacement and maintenance tasks. A key feature of the system is its predictive algorithm, which forecasts component wear based on historical technical work data. This predictive maintenance capability ensures timely replacements, reducing downtime and enhancing the overall efficiency and longevity of TBM operations.
