A new dimension for vertical shafts.
Requirement: a lot of traffic in a small area.
Urban infrastructures, such as public transport systems and multi-story car parks, are increasingly to be found below ground. The construction work on metro network extensions and underground garages poses problems because traffic routes cannot be closed while construction is in progress. The restricted space often rules out major underground construction projects.
Solution: VSM33000 - city life continues as normal on the surface.
Vertical Shaft Sinking Machines (VSM) from Herrenknecht create considerable time and space advantages over conventional shaft sinking. In comparison with the conventional shaft construction method, a building site facility for a VSM33.000 requires less above-ground space. Excavation, lining and sinking go hand in hand - everything with one machine. The optimized VSM work processes make considerable cuts in working time as for example with shafts created by excavation or blasting.
Advantages of the VSM33000
- Reduces the space requirement of above-ground building site facilities.
- Saves time because of the mechanized working method and optimized building site logistics.
- Copes with all ground profiles, as for example soft earth with or without ground water, loose and hard rock.
- Needs lower manning levels.
- Mechanized processes increase workplace safety.
- Reduces building site noise because of low noise and vibration levels during shaft excavation.
Areas of Application
- Underground garages
- Metro stations
- Ventilation shafts
- Access shafts
- Waste water shafts
- Start up shafts for tunnelling machinery
