Description

EarthGrid provides game changing patented Plasma Tunnel Boring Robot (TBR) Technology that is capable of boring 2.5 -meter tunnels 100x faster at 1/10th the cost of conventional traditional tunnel techniques. This technology can achieve a boring rate of approximately 1 KM/day or 40 miles/2.5 months. Due to the boring methods of the TBR, deeper projects are now viable. The ideal project conditions for a project is to produce a tunnel through deep bedrock vice soil, cobble, clay, groundwater or soft weathered rock conditions closer to the surface. As the TBR bores through hard rock the process hardens the walls of the tunnel and eliminating perimeter casing that a conventional boring process requires. Also a deep tunnel through bedrock will not intersect with other existing underground utility lines, thus, reducing the environmental impacts and allow for easier/faster permitting. This new technology allows project planners several new secure, environmentally safe options for deep underground utility tunnels/infrastructure to support power lines, high-speed data, water, wastewater, oil or gas pipelines, or mass transportation rail or road networks that were previously not considered financially or technically feasible.
