Safety of unshielded tunnel boring machines and rodless shaft boring machines for rock
This standard is applicable to unshielded tunnel boring machines, TBMs, and rodless shaft boring machines, SBMs, and their towed or attached back-up equipment for driving tunnels or shafts in rock where the whole area is excavated in one or more steps by mechanical means. It specifies essential safety requirements for the design, construction and maintenance of such machines when used in non-explosive atmosphere together with the methods of verification. The standard specifies monitoring for hazardous atmospheres. For TBMs and SBMs which are to be used continuously in explosive atmosphere, additional relevant standards alos apply. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to unshielded tunnel boring machines and rodless shaft boring machines for rock, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.
Sicherheit von Tunnelbohrmaschinen ohne Schild und gestängelosen Schachtbohrmaschinen zum Einsatz in Fels
Diese Norm gilt für Tunnelbohrmaschinen ohne Schild, TBM genannt, gestängelose Schachtbohrmaschinen, SBM genannt, und deren gezogene oder mit ihnen verbundene Nachläufer, zum Vortrieb von Tunneln oder Schächten in Fels, bei denen der gesamte Querschnitt in einem oder mehreren Schritten mechanisch abgebaut wird. Die Norm spezifiziert notwendige Sicherheitsanforderungen in Bezug auf Konstruktion, Fertigung und Wartung solcher Maschinen, wenn sie in nicht-explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen eingesetzt werden, zusammen mit den Methoden der Verifizierung.
Sécurité des tunneliers sans bouclier et des machines foreuses pour puits sans tige de traction
La présente norme européenne s'applique aux tunneliers sans bouclier (TBM), aux machines foreuses pour puits sans tige de traction (SBM) et aux trains suiveurs remorqués ou attelés ou à leurs composants, pour creuser dans le rocher des tunnels ou des puits dont la pleine section est excavée en une ou plusieurs phases par des moyens mécaniques. Elle précise les prescriptions essentielles de sécurité pour la conception, la construction et la maintenance de telles machines lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées en atmosphère explosible, en même temps que les méthodes de vérification.
