METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING A TUNNEL AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mining industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes expanding guiding pipeline by extracting soil from around it by driving shield with rotor working implement. Soil is extracted to value, surpassing needed outer diameter of shield cover. Forming ring-shaped space inside tunnel mine is compacted from back side and continuously filled with liquid. Concurrently sedimentation of extracted soil is drained from lower portion of face. Displacement of driving equipment relatively to guiding pipeline is performed along soft trajectory. Device has means for driving guiding pipeline and driving shield with rotor working implement. Rotor working implement is mounted on body of driving shield. Front surface of working implement with cutters extends beyond outer contour of shield cover, provided with back end compaction. Device is provided with fluid pump device. Force hose of pump is outputted from upward portion beyond outer contour of shield cover. Device for transporting extracted soil from face is made in form of suck-in hose connected to pump device and to lower portion of ring space beyond rotor working implement.

EFFECT: lower transverse loads on guiding pipeline.
