Tunneling

Incredible access and capability

Brokk demolition robots are a natural fit for tunnel projects. Their unique combination of power, maneuverability, and compact design makes them the top choice for road, rail, and subway tunnel work worldwide. In utility tunnels, such as cable and water tunnels, where space is limited, the compact size and remote-controlled operation of Brokk machines provide unmatched access and capability without compromising on power.

These machines can handle heavy-duty attachments that typically require much larger excavators, making them ideal for demanding tunneling work. For instance, the Brokk 400, weighing only 5 tons, can be equipped with a half-ton breaker, offering a remarkable size-to-power ratio and outperforming excavators up to five times its size. For even more demanding tasks, the Brokk 800, with its 1.2-ton breaker, can handle the job with ease. Brokk machines are also widely used for cross passages, substations, safety niches, lining renovations, and more.

With a diverse range of attachments, Brokk machines can efficiently perform tasks like drilling, rock breaking, excavating, scaling, rock splitting, debris removal, and shotcreting. This versatility makes Brokk robots a cost-effective solution, reducing the need for multiple machines and minimizing setup times at the worksite. Whether working below sea level, at ground level, or at high altitudes, Brokk machines excel in environments where other machines struggle.
