Tunnelbau

Simex has strengthened its range of MP cutter heads for profiling with a special model, thinking of dedicated operating machines for tunneling, with increased working depth to speed up recovery times and reduce construction and maintenance costs.

The advantages of controlled thickness removal compared to traditional methods: TFC 50 chain drum cutter experience in China. 

Simex MP 800 cutter head for profiling has been used to remove the deteriorated layers of concrete inside the several tunnels that characterize the stretch of A1 motorway, towards Florence, in Barberino del Mugello.

External agents, such as water and carbon dioxide, trigger corrosion processes that can create serious cracking problems in reinforced concrete over time, exposing infrastructures to progressive structural weakening.

Nach ersten Erfahrungen werde aber meist fast regelmäßig auf Fräsköpfe zurückgegriffen.
