INDAU RAISE BORERS: STANDARD AND TAILORED MODELS

Capacity examples

 

The Indau range of raise borers consists of seven machine models for maximum shaft diameters of 1.8 - 7 m in hard rock and 2.4 - 8.2 m in softer formations. Raise lengths up to 1200 m.

The basic machine models are used for conventional raise boring, piloting down and reaming up, to drill e.g. ventilation shafts and ore passes in mines, water intake shafts and penstocks in hydroelectric power schemes, ventilation shafts for road and railway tunnels, rock passes for quarries, emergency exits from tunnels and other underground spaces, and metro-escalator declines.

To satisfy customer requirements, the Raiser raise borers have been tailored for specific applications, such as piloting up - reaming down operation, downward box-drilling with pre-drilled pilot hole, and horizontal drilling of water supply and sewage tunnels.
