Abstract
Recently, the São Paulo Metro in Brazil. 2 Line Extension 1 Good news comes from the project: the large-diameter earth-pressure balanced tunnel boring machine “China Railway” developed by China Railway Equipment. 1207 The “No.” has successfully completed. 1 The first-phase tunneling task for the benchmark project.
As a key infrastructure project prioritized by the São Paulo state government, this extension line connects... Vila Prudente Station and Penha Station, total tunnel length approximately 6.5 kilometers. During the first phase of construction, China Railway Equipment assembled an internationally experienced technical service team to ensure the smooth progress of the project. Throughout this period, the equipment efficiently completed... 3.7 The kilometer-long tunneling task achieved a maximum daily advance of 28.5 Mi has received high praise from customers.
Next, “China Railway” 1207 Number” will be VSE Falchi Gianini The equipment is disassembled on-site in the well and then transported to the starting point of the next construction phase. Penha Station. After reassembly and debugging, the equipment will automatically... Penha Departing from the station, heading toward Rapadura Heading in the designated direction and carrying out the second-phase tasks of the eastern extension project.
It's worth noting that “China Railway” 1207 Diameter of excavation for “No.” 11.66 The machine is not only the first tunnel boring machine exported by China Railway Equipment to South America, but also the largest-diameter TBM ever put into operation in South America to date. After the project is completed and opened to traffic, the estimated average daily passenger volume will reach: 50 With tens of thousands of passenger trips, this initiative will effectively alleviate traffic pressure on ground transportation in the eastern region of São Paulo and further encourage green travel among local residents.
