General Selection Criteria
1.Geotechnical behaviour of the ground
2.Presence of ground water and pressure
3.Boundary conditions of the project
4.Experience of the contractor

TBM type -difference by the way of face support
• No face support• Mechanical support• Compressed air• Active, by support medium:
EPB or Slurry

Selection of TBM with active face support
Slurry limitation
High content of fines < 0,06 mm requires expensive separation process
EPB limitation
High permeability k > 10-³ m/s requires intensive conditioning
