Partial section ND 1200 - ND 3600

If there is no groundwater we operate in partial section with open shield, the lower-cost alternative of the subterranean tunnelling. With it we realise several tunnel-profiles in diverse geologies and obtain high driving performance. We work either with excavator-technology or with cutter picks.

SONNTAG realise projects with manned shield driving where other firms use the extensive microtunnelling because we are in a position to use partial section under compressed air. We use this technology if we have groundwater or incalculable obstacle make the use of microtunnelling-machines a cost-effective risk.
