Tunnelling

Tunnel Boring Machine Automation

Automation, control-logic and troubleshooting support for tunnel boring machine systems and auxiliaries.

Engineering approach

Controls support grounded in the operating requirement

Tunnel boring machines combine complex mechanical, electrical and hydraulic subsystems. Matrix Automation provides focused controls support to help project teams assess faults, improve operator information and coordinate automation components.

Every engagement is scoped around the installed equipment, available technical information, site conditions and the result the operating team needs to achieve.
