An Empirical Study of Tunnel Boring Machine Assembly Process: Sequencing, Planning and Critical Interphases Management

This thesis explores the assembly and operation of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) used in tunnel construction projects. The study focuses on project planning, scheduling, and critical interphases management of a real case. By examining these elements, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the processes and challenges involved in effective TBM operation and offers insights into improving efficiency and coordination in tunnel construction.
