Products & Services

Micro Tunnelling Equipment, Tunnelboring Machines, Shaft Excavation Equipment, HDD Equipment, Auger Boring Machines: more than 850 Herrenknecht Utility Tunnelling Machines are in operation around the world constructing or laying water and wastewater systems, gas and oil pipelines, as well as conduits for electricity and telecommunications.

Trenchless tunnelling technology offers a range of advantages compared to conventional construction procedures: transport, business and the environment remain mostly undisturbed when Micromachines, HDD rigs or shaft sinking equipment are being used. Innovations such as Direct Pipe® set new standards in the semi-trenchless installation.

The new technology E-Power Pipe® allows the secure and quick installation of underground cable protection pipes with smaller diameters and long advance lengths. Innovative HDD tools simplify pipeline construction operations at key sections. The Herrenknecht product portfolio is completed by a broad range of equipment for the areas of mining and exploration.

Micro Tunnelling Equipment

Herrenknecht AVN or Slurry Machines with a cone crusher are all-arounders for safe tunnelling in the diameter range of 0.4 to around 4 meters. These microtunnelling experts show their full potential particularly in non-accessible machine sizes. The slurry-supported excavation concept makes it possible to use these machines in all kinds of ground conditions, ranging from slit to clay to incohesive soils, and further to gravel and rock.

HDD Equipment

With horizontal directional drilling rigs from Herrenknecht, pipelines can be installed under rivers and infrastructures quickly, economically and with minimal impact on the environment. Examples of pipeline applications include the transport of oil, gas or wastewater as well as district heating, high-voltage power lines, cable bundles for telecommunications and much more. HDD Rigs are versatile and are mainly used in stable loose soils and consolidated rock.

Small diameter Tunnel Boring Machine

The principle of ground excavation by TBM and consecutive ring building are well-known in the construction industry (mostly for large traffic tunnels). Within the small diameter tunnel range of up to 4000mm inner diameter, numerous projects have been executed worldwide using the segment lining method. It offers a high degree of flexibility concerning the planning of tunnel routes. Compared to pipe jacking, less shafts are required, long drives and tight curve alignments are possible.
