Stabilized cutting face

Ongoing evolution

The cutting chamber filled with cutting muck isinfused with a suitable additive agent to stabilize
the cutting face. Kawasaki continues to improve
additives for highly permeable soils. In doing so
Kawasaki has developed ever-larger earth pressurebalanced shield machines with greater speed andpower.

Kawasaki has developed dual-mode earth pressureshield machines by augmenting mechanisms that
efficiently excavate and remove hard soil. Suchsuperior functions have enabled Kawasaki to achieve
high-speed tunneling of 600 m or more per monthwith machines designed for digging subway tunnels.

Mixed Ground Shield Machine
Cutter disk shapes for different
types of ground
Either flat or dome-shaped cutter can be selectedaccording to the characteristics of soil such as
density, size and strength of gravels, boulders androcks.

Selection of cutter disk
There are two types of cutter disk. One is a diskfront-crushing-type (mainly used for Slurry Shield
Machines) which crushes boulders by front disk andthen carries them into the cutter chamber. And theother is a non-disk-front-crushing-type (mainly used
for Earth Pressure Balanced Shield Machines) which
carries largest possible boulders into the cutter
chamber without crushing them.

Selection of disk roller cutter
To excavate bedrock strata (Photo A), we use
Kawasaki’s disk roller cutter which we havedeveloped for TBM and be well proven its
performance by a lot of achievements. To excavate
gravel and boulder strata (Photo B), we use superhard-carbide-tip inserted disk roller cutter, which
prolongs the life of disk. Both types of disk roller
cutter can be easily replaced from the inside of cutter
chamber.

Open Gripper TBM & New Open TBM
Simple structure

The advantages of combination of
Full Shield TBM and Open TBM

The Open TBM is comprised of cutter head, cutter
head drive, main beam, gripper and roof support.
This simple structure enables workers to treat
cutting face at adjacent point to cutter head.

Kawasaki's new Improved Open TBMs have twodifferent strengths from both Full Shield TBMs andOpen TBMs. One element comes from Full Shield
TBMs which are suited for various ground conditions
and another feature comes from Open TBMs
which are suited for high-speed operation in solid
bedrock conditions. This new Improved Open TBMs
can treat looseness from and falling of fragile soil,
simultaneously it can enables workers to treat cutting
face at adjacent point to cutter head.

Extremely powerfulin stable ground conditions
Open TBM shows high performance and economical
excavation in solid bedrock conditions. It is suitable
for straight excavation as digging direction isregulated by beam structure.

Aporo Cutter
APORO：All Potential Rotary Cutter

H&V (Horizontal & Vertical) Shield Machine
In the past, the excavation of subway station sections wereaccomplished using cut-and-cover tunneling methods or by
expanding existing tunnels. However, because of the impact
on above-ground activities and the large numbers of criticalsubterranean structures under congested urban areas, four-face
H&V shield machine is deployed to excavate simultaneously the
subway car tunnel and station platform area.

■Features

The machine can excavate not only circularshaped sections, but rectangular shaped,
horse-shoe shaped, and another noncircular shaped sections. Cutting head has
high-precision control system, which cankeep planned excavated section.

①The world's first shield machine equipped with a parallel
articulating mechanism (H&V mechanism). It enables the
excavation of wide tunnels with uniquely shaped sections,which makes high-precision positioning control possible.
②It equips four cutters on the same surface.

7.06m×13.18m H&V slurry shield machine■Features①Rectangular, horse- shoe shape, andanother non-circular shaped can beselected as excavated section.
②It can also cut sound-hard ground andobstacles.
③Cutting head can be reused by remounting
to another shaped shield bodies.

Dual-Mount Branching H&V (horizontal & vertical) Shield MachineThis machine enables excavation of two proximate parallel independent
tunnels in the same direction. These tunnels will take apart to the different
direction in the middle of tunneling. Each shield continues to excavate as aseparate, independent machine after their divergence.
4.76m×4.42m earth pressure balanced
rectangular shield machine■Features①After tunneling by tandem ream position, upper and lower shield machines
excavate independently to different directions subsequently to thedivergence in underground.
②When used for tandem tunneling, the articulation angles of the upper andlower shields are calculated by a relative midsection difference to control theroll position.
③These machines perform excavation of sharp curve with a minimum radiusof 15m (articulation angle: max.13 °for both left and right direction) in both
positions of tandem ream and independent.

Previously two simple circular shield machines and one threesection shield machine was required, but nowadays, Kawasaki’s technology enables to excavate both station part and stationto-station tunneling with single shield machine which consistsof one circular shield and twin semicircular side shields that aredesigned to be easily mounted and detached.
The detachable three-section method makes it possible toreduce the size of the shield machine and rear compartment
equipment, as well as to centralize the operating base.

Lateral Lead Three-Section Shield Machine

Branch Route Shield Machine

Equipped with advanced rotating cutter heads
on each side, an oscillating (“wagging”) cutter
head ensures space between the machines in
the center section and independent rotating
cutter heads in the center to achieve even greater
excavating efficiency than Kawasaki's detachable
three-section shield machine. The slurry removal
systems are combined into a single system.

When the shield machine has reached the divergence point, thedivergence shield emerges from inside the machine and eachshield continues to perform its own independent excavations.
Because this construction method allows the divergence
operation to be completed underground, there is no need toprepare a departure shaft for the divergence shield machine.

Kawasaki plays an active role in projects around the world■Construction method①The mainline shield machine tunnels as far as the divergencepoint with the divergence shield machine installed inside.
②At the divergence point, the forward body section and theexterior skin plate of the center body section of the mainline
shield slide forward and the divergence shield emerges tobegin excavation.
③After divergence, both the mainline and the divergence shieldmachines simultaneously continue their excavation progress.

The shield’s external casing and internal unit are constructed
as independent units, and the internal (drive) unit is removed
following completion of tunneling of the first section. It is taken
to the departure shaft, where a new external casing is fitted,
and excavation is thenbegun on the next
construction section.
Because the shield’sinternal unit is reused,
there is no need toconstruct an arrival
shaft. The drive shaft

Largest tunneling projectin the 20th century─

Kawasaki shield machine got further
credence in Europe.

The 52 km Dover Tunnel, the largest tunnelingproject of the 20th century, was completed by its
Anglo-French operators, Eurotunnel, in 1991.
Two Kawasaki TBMs (8.78 m bore, each 13.745
m long) were utilized for this large-scale project
linking Calais, France and Folkestone, Englandwith two single-track railroad tunnels (7.3 mφ) andone service tunnel (4.5 mφ)
The state-of-the-art TBMs tunneledapproximately 100 m beneath the ocean ﬂoor
(1 Mpa), with a maximum monthly advance of
1,200 m and continuous underground excavation
at distances up to 20 km. Their performanceearned worldwide praise for Kawasaki's advanced
technological capabilities.
The project was choosen as the best 10
projects in the 20th century of rail way section on
Monuments of Millennium by ASCE.

CTRL project consists of Phase-1 which wasplanned to accelerate the speed of the Eurostar
in England terrain after it comes out from the
Dover tunnel and Phase-2 which was planned tochange the location of hub station from Waterloo
to St Pancras at north of Thames river.
Kawasaki supplied two shield machines
for Contract-220 section and got the further
recognition in Europe.
