Epiroc introduces Total Tunneling at Bauma 2025: a complete offering for underground civil construction

“Epiroc is a leading global productivity partner for the civil construction industry”, says Rickard Johansson, VP Marketing at Epiroc’s Underground division. “Our cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices are setting new industry standards, and we are excited to showcase them at Bauma 2025”.

With Total Tunneling, customers can optimize safety, productivity, and high quality through advanced automation and seamless operations. By optimizing the tunneling sequences, they can achieve outstanding, sustainable results. 

A major challenge in underground construction operations is that, processes and machines operate in isolation, relying on manual data transfer. Total Tunneling bridges this gap by connecting individual products and processes into an integrated tunneling sequence. This integration simplifies operations, improves data accuracy, and ensures a more efficient, systematic approach to underground civil construction.

Total Tunneling includes:

• Underground Manager 2.0: Seamlessly integrates digital drill plans, job data, and performance assessments, enabling efficient data sharing between machines for better decision-making and as-built documentation.

• Face drilling: The Boomer E-series delivers unparalleled precision, productivity, and safety, driven by automation, teleremote control and digital drill plans. This optimizes performance while minimizing overbreak for more efficient tunneling. Battery-electric options enable sustainable tunneling.

• Grouting: The Unigrout rigs deliver smart tunnel sealing with seamless machine connectivity. Utilizing MWD (Measure While Drilling) data from the face drill rig, it optimizes grout mixing and injection for maximum accuracy and efficiency.

• Ventilation: Our customized ventilation solutions ensure a safer working environment with demand-based airflow control that minimizes waste and reduces costs.

• Material handling: The Häggloader ensures fast, continuous loading with a hybrid diesel-electric power system and a flexible design for maximum productivity in confined spaces.

• Utility vehicles: The Terrah Series utility vehicles boost tunneling efficiency with a modular design, powerful drivetrains, and adaptable cassette configurations.

• Rock reinforcement: The Boltec series of fully mechanized rock bolting rigs deliver superior safety, efficiency, and installation quality thanks to automation and teleremote operation. Battery-electric options enable sustainable tunneling.

At Epiroc’s booth, visitors can experience Total Tunneling by stepping into an interactive virtual tunnel to discover how Epiroc’s technologies contribute to building high-quality tunnels with confidence.
