Tunnel Boring

Tunnel Boring is a mechanized excavation method in underground construction that employs a rotary cutting head mounted on a tunnel boring machine to advance through soil or rock formations with continuous excavation and lining installation, distinguishing it from drill-and-blast or manual excavation techniques.
