    This document discusses Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) tunnel boring machines (TBMs). It contains the following key points: 1) EPB TBMs have basic components like thrust cylinders, a tailskin, bulkhead, cutting wheel, mixing arms, screw conveyor, and belt conveyor to excavate soil and install tunnel lining. 2) EPB machines are suited to excavate a range of soil types from clay to coarse gravel using their pressure balancing abilities. 3) EPB machines can operate in closed, semi-open, or open modes to control ground settlement during tunneling.

    Types of Interventions

     Compressed air 0-3,6 bar, up to 4,5bar in exceptional cases, short


    duration

    → decompression in TBM airlock

    → state of the art,

    → coverage by rules and regulations

     Mixed gas for short duration up to 6,0 bar

    → decompression in TBM airlock

     Saturation for long term interventions above 4,5 bar

    → above ground hyperbaric habitat
