The NTNU prediction model



Philosophy: rock properties versus machine parameters



Estimate penetration rate, cutter life, advance rate and excavation costs



Project site detailed studies in more than 40 tunnelling projects (Norway and abroad) involving more than 300 kilometres of tunnel



Systematised and normalised data



Representative of well-organised tunnelling projects



The last update is going to be published included in the PhD Thesis at NTNU:  Hard Rock Tunnel Boring: Performance predictions and cutter life assessments (Macias, 2016).
