Our Tunnels and Mining specialism
We aim to provide a world class product range that meets most of your underground construction needs.
In general our products can support three methods of tunnelling. These are Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), Drill and Blast, and Mechanical Excavation (Road Header) also known as NATM tunnelling.
TAM pre-injection grouting is associated with all tunnelling methodologies, as a means to prevent water ingress, consolidate weak and fractured rock, and soil geologies, thus reducing the risks of unexpected flooding and tunnel collapses.
TAM Tunnelling and Mining have developed a range of injection technologies to suit all rock and soil types, including Microfine Cement, Acrylic Gels, Acrylic Grouts, and Polyurethanes.
There have also been major advancements in sprayed concrete technologies that form part of the temporary and permanent support methods, especially in Drill and Blast and Road Header tunnels. We have developed state-of-the-art High Performance Water Reducing Admixture Technology, Hydration Control Admixtures, Hyper Plasticisers and High Performance Alkali Free Set Accelerators, which give our customers superior workability and increase working time (Slump Retention), combined with ultra-high early and ultimate strength development.Our track record
Our Customers continually recognise our Total System Approach which consists of world class Products - Technology - Support - Knowledge - Flexibility. TAM has built its reputation on a quick response to site and local professional site support.
We have developed a dedicated Tunnelling and Mining division of experts, currently servicing the vast tunnelling and Mining sector. TAM has built an enviable record of supporting major underground tunnel construction projects- case studies available.
Our extended range of products includes Shotcrete Accelerators and Admixtures along with traditional leak sealing products TamAcryl and TamPur resins.
We understand that high productivity and safety are the main priorities associated with tunnelling, and mining projects.
Flooding and collapse can have catastrophic consequences to the overall cost of the project, the environment and the safety of tunnellers and miners. With this in mind we have developed a range of Tunnelling and Mining systems where high productivity can be achieved, without sacrificing safety.
