Tunnelling

Flodraulic designs and manufactures Hydraulic Power Units (HPU) and advanced hydraulic control systems for the tunnelling machinery sector, providing reliable and high-performance solutions for demanding underground construction environments.

Our systems are specifically developed for integration with Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) and related equipment, ensuring precise control, operational stability and long-term reliability during complex tunnelling operations.

In particular, we design and supply hydraulic systems for:

• Skid-mounted HPU
• Main push cylinders control systems
• Belt control systems
• Stabilizer control systems
• Shield articulation control systems
• Tilt and gripper control systems
• Erector control systems

Thanks to our extensive engineering expertise, Flodraulic develops customized hydraulic solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each tunnelling project, ensuring efficiency, safety and reliable performance in heavy-duty underground applications.
