About this document

Microtunneling Drilling Fluids Overview by Dhila Kurokawa Chii is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides an overview of microtunneling (MT), including its introduction and description, typical diameter and depth ranges used, required working space, suitable soil conditions, and the two main types of MT methods - slurry type and auger type. The slurry type method is described in more detail, noting that it can handle wet, unstable ground conditions better than the auger type. For slurry type MT, the microtunnel boring machine (MTBM) excavates soil mechanically via a rotating cutting head,
