Entrance Seal for Tunnel Shield

Operator can stay a distance from the D-Wall when pressurizing the tube; it will be safe and easier for operating.
Entrance Seal can be designed applying to different kinds of tunnel shape such as DOT, MF, Rectangular, etc., and also to the portion with which is difficult to deal on shield machine, such as grouting convex.

Type-A

For Launch

Entrance Seal with Self-Seal function for TBM Launch
Performance will be more excellent If Tube added.

(1) Grouting convex on machine
(2) Corner of the Rectangular Tunnel
(3) Connection of Arc on DOT, MF Shape of tunnel
(4) Bottom of the machine
(5) Circumference

Type-B

For Arrival

Entrance Seal for the Arrival, machine will be reuse.
Tube will be pressurized to keep perfect sealing during shield machine’s movement.
Grouting convex on machine will also be sealed when Tube pressurized.
It is very safe to operate the Tube at a distance from the D-Wall.

Type-C

For Both Launch and Arrival

Entrance & Exit seal equipment of automatic-seal style.
The seal is stored and operates by the tube pressurization.
The sealing can be used even by high ground-water pressure, because it is reinforced with the steel plate.
At the area of Backfilling device, still the seal is possible by pressurizing the tube.
Because the tube can be managed by remote controled, it is safety for worker.

Flex Rubber Seal
Style-Ω

Absorbing deflection and movement between structure and tunnel.
The rubber seal is not penetrated by bolts and keeps good sealing performance.

Hexa Gate Plug
Style-HGP

Plug for heavy rain in tunnel.
Preliminary storage of rain water pipeline.

Victaulic Joint

Heterotaxy can be absorbed under high water pressure.
