Hand Tunneling

Cobbles, boulders, and hard rock are all potentially insurmountable obstacles for modern small diameter tunnel boring machines, but are generally minor impediments to hand tunneling. In fact, hard rock (>200 MPA) is ideal drill and blast hand tunneling conditions, yet extremely difficult to impossible conditions for TBMs below 8' in diameter.

What is Hand Tunneling?

Generally, tunnels should be 48-inches in diameter so that workers can have room to move. Workers make use of pneumatic tools and other mechanized equipment and may rely on blasting to tunnel through hard rock. Hand tunneling techniques include forepoling, breasting and spiling. A tunneling shield is often used for support and safety.
