Total Tunneling, set to be launched next week at Bauma 2025 in Munich, is Epiroc’s integrated set of products and solutions developed for underground civil construction. It says this comprehensive offering combines cutting-edge automation, electrification, digital solutions, and high-performance underground equipment – delivering high-quality tunnels with improved safety and productivity at lower costs.
“Epiroc is a leading global productivity partner for the civil construction industry,” says Rickard Johansson, VP Marketing at Epiroc’s Underground division. “Our cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices are setting new industry standards, and we are excited to showcase them at Bauma 2025.”
With Total Tunneling, customers can optimise safety, productivity, and high quality through advanced automation and seamless operations. By optimising the tunnelling sequences, they can achieve outstanding, sustainable results.
“Total Tunneling is our way of bundling our offering, making it easier for customers to understand how our products and solutions work together to help them achieve the high-quality tunnel they have always envisioned – on time at lower costs,” said Ulf Sundberg, Global Business Development Manager for civil construction at Epiroc’s Underground division.
A major challenge in underground construction operations is that, processes and machines operate in isolation, relying on manual data transfer. Total Tunneling bridges this gap by connecting individual products and processes into an integrated tunnelling sequence. This integration simplifies operations, improves data accuracy, and ensures a more efficient, systematic approach to underground civil construction.
Total Tunneling includes:
- Underground Manager 2.0: Seamlessly integrates digital drill plans, job data, and performance assessments, enabling efficient data sharing between machines for better decision-making and as-built documentation.
- Face drilling: The Boomer E-series delivers unparalleled precision, productivity, and safety, driven by automation, teleremote control and digital drill plans. This optimises performance while minimising overbreak for more efficient tunnelling. Battery-electric options enable sustainable tunnelling.
- Grouting: Unigrout rigs deliver smart tunnel sealing with seamless machine connectivity. Utilising MWD (Measure While Drilling) data from the face drill rig, it optimises grout mixing and injection for maximum accuracy and efficiency.
- Ventilation: Epiroc’s customised ventilation solutions ensure a safer working environment with demand-based airflow control that minimises waste and reduces costs.
- Material handling: The Häggloader ensures fast, continuous loading with a hybrid diesel-electric power system and a flexible design for maximum productivity in confined spaces.
- Utility vehicles: The Terrah Series utility vehicles boost tunnelling efficiency with a modular design, powerful drivetrains, and adaptable cassette configurations.
- Rock reinforcement: The Boltec series of fully mechanised rock bolting rigs deliver superior safety, efficiency, and installation quality thanks to automation and teleremote operation. Battery-electric options enable sustainable tunnelling.
At Epiroc’s booth, visitors will be able to experience Total Tunneling by stepping into an interactive virtual tunnel to discover how Epiroc’s technologies “contribute to building high-quality tunnels with confidence.”
