Guided Boring Machine (GBM) Versus Slurry Microtunneling The GBM system offers a low cost of operation, a small work area and minimal crew training, can use pilot tubes for obstacle detection General Slurry microtunneling requires a higher initial investment, experienced crew is necessary, use is diameter dependent, water tight shaft with pit seals.

A slurry tunnel boring machine (slurry TBM) is a type of underground excavator that removes excavated material by hydraulic means It uses methodology that is suited to unstable terrain It is considered a “soft ground” tunnel boring machine (TBM) along with the earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine (EPBTBM).

Slurry Equipment How does the slurry system work? The slurry system is a continuous system which pumps clean water from the surface, through the tunnel, to the slurry chamber of the microtunnelling machine Any large fragments will have been reduced by the crusher head to be small enough to be pumped from there in suspension, back to the surface.
