A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation. 1, record 2, English, - microtunneling%20machine

Constant depth linear cutting(CDLC) provides a long-term solution to excessive dust generation from shearers and continuous mining machines through a new design of the rotary drum cutting system.... The CDLC concept is designed to cut a full face by using an eccentrically mounted triangular shaped drum. In addition to breaking to a free face with no secondary fragmentation, the CDLC will have a bit velocity well below the minimums needed for phase shifts in the bit metals or for methane ignition. 1, record 4, English, - constant%20depth%20linear%20cutting
