Pipe Roofing Solutions

High flexibility The pipe roof support method is a pre support concept widely used in conventional tunnelling, but has also gained interest as a support system for TBM tunnels. This method of supporting potentially unstable ground ahead of the excavation face provides a high degree of flexibility and is easily adapted to the encountered conditions.

Cost-efficient and easy to adapt Requiring only standard equipment and little training of your operator crew, your investment in employing special machinery or contractors is notably reduced.

Maximized Safety

By reinforcing the ground ahead of the excavation, the ground is never without support. This means that the installation of regular tunnel support can be carried out more effectively and with increased safety for the operators.

Extended Possibilities

Using the same principals, installation method and equipment, perforated PVC and steel pipes can be installed for drainage purposes, bringing added value in controlling the ground water, especially in extreme conditions.
