Segment Lining — Segment Damage & Repair
Segment Damage & Repair for segmental tunnel lining production and supply.
Most segment damage happens in the last ten metres of its journey — erector vacuum pads, jacking shoes and tight builds chip corners that survived 300 km of trucking. Damage-rate tracking per crew and per shoe position finds the assignable causes hiding in the average.
Formula
Note: Planning-level tunnelling estimate — actual TBM performance is set by detailed geotechnical baseline data, machine design and the contractor's means & methods. Use for feasibility framing only.
