The demand for subway construction equipment is growing steadily, and new application fields such as pumped storage bring incremental demand for shield machine / TBM

The downstream works of shield machine are mainly subway works, accounting for 70% – 80%. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the operating mileage of China’s urban rail transit will increase by 3000 kilometers. It is expected that the demand for shield machines will increase by about 10% in the next three years.

It is estimated that the compound growth rate of the installed capacity of pumped storage during the 14th Five Year Plan period will reach 23%, and the cumulative demand for Pumped Storage TBM in the next 15 years will reach 45 billion yuan. With the continuous growth of TBM in the fields of national defense, water conservancy tunnel (tunnel), special railway and underground water storage, the application prospect of TBM in urban areas is expanding.
