Safety of unshielded tunnel boring machines and rodless shaft boring machines for rock - Safety requirements

1.1   Field of application
This standard is applicable to unshieldsed tunnel boring machines, TBM's, and rodless shaft boring machines, SBM's, 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 atmosphere.
For TBM's and SBM's which are to be used continuously in explosive atmosphere, additional relevant standards also 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.
1.2   Description of the machines
The general term "unshielded tunnel boring machines" encompasses various kinds of machines for mechanical excavation of underground openings such as tunnels and inclined shafts. This is done in a continuous process, without blasting, using a rotating cutter head.
Depending on the hardness of the material being excavated, tools of different types are used to cut the rock. Normally, rolling discs are employed in medium to very hard rock. All tunnel boring machines, TBM's, and rodless shaft boring machines, SBM's, have the tools mounted on a cutter head which rotates under thrust against the rock. The torque required to rotate the cutter head is developed by electric or hydraulic motors and the thrust is normally delivered by hydraulically powered cylinders.
The torque and thrust reactions created by a TBM or SBM have to be resisted by anchoring the complete machine inside the bore itself by means

Sicherheit von Tunnelbohrmaschinen ohne Schild und gestängelosen Schachtbohrmaschinen zum Einsatz in Fels - Sicherheitsanforderungen

1.1   Anwendungsbereich
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. Die Norm spezifiziert die Überwachung gefährlicher Atmosphären.
Für TBM und SBM, die kontinuierlich in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen eingesetzt werden sollen, gelten entsprechende Normen zusätzlich.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, die auf Tunnelbohrmaschinen ohne Schild und gestängelose Schachtbohrmaschinen zum Einsatz in Fels zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und entsprechend den Empfehlungen des Herstellers verwendet werden (siehe Abschnitt 4). Diese Euro-päische Norm spezifiziert die entsprechenden technischen Maßnahmen zur Eliminierung oder Reduzierung der Risiken, die von den signifikanten Gefährdungen ausgehen.
1.2   Beschreibung der Maschinen
Der allgemeine Begriff „Tunnelbohrmaschinen ohne Schild“ umfasst unterschiedliche Arten von Maschinen für mechanisches Auffahren unterirdischer Hohlräume, wie z. B. Tunnel oder Schrägschächte. Dies wird in einem praktisch kontinuierlichen Vorgang ohne Sprengarbeit erreicht durch Verwendung eines rotierenden Bohr-kopfes.
Abhängig von der Härte des abzutragenden Gesteins werden unterschiedliche Werkzeuge verwendet um das Gestein zu schneiden. Normalerweise werden in mittelhartem bis sehr hartem Gestein Schneidrollen verwendet. (....)

Sécurité de tunneliers sans bouclier et des machines foreuses pour puits sans tige de traction - Exigences de sécurité

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. La norme spécifie la surveillance des atmosphères dangereuses.
Pour les TBM et SBM utilisés en permanence en atmosphère explosible, les normes pertinentes s'appliquent complémentairement.
La présente Norme européenne traite tous les phénomènes dangereux significatifs relatifs aux tunneliers sans bouclier et aux machines foreuses pour puits sans tige de traction, lorsqu’elles sont utilisées normalement et dans les conditions prévues par le constructeur (voir Article 4). Cette Norme européenne spécifie les mesures techniques appropriées pour éliminer ou réduire les risques dus aux phénomènes dangereux significatifs.
