Capabilities
At L&D Micro Tunnelling we specialize in high accuracy trenchless laser guided boring. Our TBM's use a vacuum extraction system where all spoil is sucked into interceptor tanks for easy disposal. All of our heads are hydraulically driven and guided by a high accuracy laser to achieve precision over long distances.
We currently have 3 TBM's operating throughout Victoria with Drill heads ranging from 350mm - 600mm in diameter and drives of up to 120 meters.
We are equipped when access to the drill shaft is limited or when setting up inside a basement.
With any micro tunnelling project ground conditions account for almost all the risk involved when taking on a project. Geo technical reports and good job planning are essential for projects to run smoothly.
We can offer all tunnelling methods through most ground types.

Two of our machines, LD1 & LD3 can bore up to 120 meters on line and on grade with a +/- 10mm tolerance in most ground conditions.
Our Limited access machine (LD2) can drill up to 35 meters in most ground conditions with a +/- 10mm tolerance. This machine has a smaller footprint than LD1 & LD3 and is perfect for branch sewers, city lane ways and small road crossings.
LD1 & LD3
Launch shaft details: 4m x 1.5m minimum
LD2 (Limited access machine)
Launch shaft details: 3m x 1m minimum
Once all equipment arrives on site, setup of tunnelling equipment takes no more than 3 hours.
We have a fully fitted out factory with highly skilled employees which allows us to design, build, maintain and repair any equipment that needs repairing during any project.
This allows us to keep the job at hand to be finished on time and on budget at every occasion.
