shield construction machine
Inquire NowDescription
Shield Construction Machine is an advanced piece of underground tunnel construction equipment designed to operate without disrupting the ground conditions beneath. This innovative technology significantly enhances construction feasibility, reduces costs, and safeguards the integrity of historic buildings during tunneling operations. The machine is extensively utilized in various projects, including city subway systems, railway tunnels, highway tunnels, river-crossing tunnels, and hydropower engineering. Despite its high value and complex manufacturing process, the shield construction machine is produced only by a select few companies in Germany and Japan, with domestic production previously relying on expensive imports. In 2003, a collaboration with German Herrenknecht AG marked a significant milestone, leading to the successful assembly of the first shield machine for the Beijing Subway Line 5, achieving an impressive tunneling record of 26 meters. Following this, in August 2004, further advancements were made in the mechanical processing and assembly of three additional shield construction machines, all passing factory acceptance tests and enhancing the company’s mechanical equipment capabilities.
