Many machine manufacturers today appear to have lost sight of the process of removing spoil from the newly excavated tunnel. Any machine is only as good as the spoil removal system. With the advent of higher performing machines, Terratec can offer continuously advancing conveyor systems, providing tunnel size and turn radii match. The system eliminates California switches from the tunnel and muck car dreailments. More conventional haulage by rail and locomotives when required can be handled by the twin track 'carousel' or the single track car mover forms of travelling bridge backup systems. We will recommend these as cost effectiveness dictates. Backup systems must be matched to the project if optimum machine performance is to be accomplished. Terratec is world renowned for its continuous conveyor backup systems. These backup systems have achieved world record performances for tunnel machine production.
