equipment for mechanised tunnelling
Formwork for bridge piers and PULVINums
Euroform produces moulds both for fixed installations and for carousel
systems, for all types of tunnel segments and for any tunnel ring
configuration.
All formworks are designed for easy, safe and durable use.The
regulation system that characterises the Euroform segment moulds
allows full compliance with the tightest tolerances.
Carousel plants
When it is necessary to regularise the production of tunnel segments, Euroform
provides automated carousel systems.
The carousel system enables precise and consistent execution times to be
achieved for each task, thanks to highly efficient cycles.
Carousel plants also allow for a reduction in manpower, more efficient use of
space and increased safety.
equipment for conventional tunnelling
Each tunnel has its own diameter, cross-section, and geological composition. To achieve maximum precision in
lining each one, Euroform can provide the tailor-made solution that best meets the project's requirements, thanks
to a complete portfolio of formwork and service gantries.
Bypass, niche and collar formworks
Slab formwork
Service gantries
Both the bridge pier formwork and the bridge pulvinum formwork are designed to speed up moulding and
demoulding operations by using a modular system of interconnected shutters.
Segment handling devices
Depending on the customer's needs, Euroform supplies all types of equipment for the handling of tunnel
segments in production segments in production plants.
Special equipment
Every project has its own challenges that require special solutions, and Euroform responds to the customer's
needs by providing whatever is required.
Segment demolding and tilting clamps
Segment tilting tables
Multi-segment transfer trolleys
Vacuum segment handling devices
Concreting buckets
Concrete distributor with vibrating screed
Steam production plant
Self-reacting formwork
The self-reacting tunnel formwork makes it possible to cast the tunnel vault
quickly and accurately, even for tunnels of considerable length. In fact, there is
no need for anchoring to the ground or to the quayside, which simplifies mould
and demoulding operations.
Self-supporting formwork
The self-supporting tunnel formwork reduces lateral movement during
concreting by anchoring to the base. Anchoring can be achieved using tyloops on
the quay or a stop system on the ground.
Modular formwork for different cross-section tunnels
Invert formwork
For the lining of multiple tunnels, each with its own cross-profile, Euroform offers a
modular formwork system that can be quickly and easily reconfigured for different
sections.
Its modular design allows the same formwork to be used for several tunnels
with no structural modifications. Simply reassemble the formwork according
to the required layout, reducing procurement, transport, and storage costs.
The tunnel bypass formwork has a self-propelled transport system that ensures
high manoeuvrability even in the confined spaces typical of this type of
formwork, combined with fast transfer from one casting to the next.
Niche and collar tunnel formworks are easy to install and can be supplied with
fast handling systems.
The tunnel slab formwork can have the typical single-table configuration for one
casting at a time, or multiple tables linked together with a tail-to-head sector
transfer system, allowing continuous concreting operations of considerable
length without having to wait for the last cast slab to set.
The invert tunnel formwork is typically self-supporting and can be self-erecting
where necessary.
In addition to the typical multi-level configuration, the membrane gantry can be
fitted with a hydraulically operated man basket for easy and safe membrane
installation.
The curing gantry allows direct control of temperature and humidity levels with
continuous data logging.
The reinforcement gantry allows reinforcement to be placed safely and easily
with reduced manpower.
segment moulds, Conventional formwork and service equipment for tunnel
lining
Euroform designs and manufactures high-quality formwork and service equipment for the construction of tunnels
using both mechanised and conventional techniques. Accuracy in planning and design, in the manufacture and
adjustment of the equipment, and in the inspection of the final product enables us to achieve the highest
standards of quality and precision.
Fullround formwork
The fullround tunnel formwork has a completely circular cross-section to enable
the entire tunnel cross-section to be cast in a single pour. It is made up of
interconnected longitudinal sectors with a telescopic configuration that allows
the rear sector to be dismantled, transported in front of the leading sector and
reassembled, thus allowing continuous pouring.

COMPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT FOR MECHANISED EXCAVATION
Euroform also offers a complete range of additional equipment for the lining of tunnels with mechanised
excavation.
For tunnels that require the passage of services and vehicles in a secondary tunnel
within the main one, Euroform proposes the ISIG, a self-propelled bridge that
transports the prefabricated culvert segments and positions them to create the
service tunnel.
The ISIG is independent of the TBM and does not interfere with the excavation
process
.
Internal Structure Installation Gantry (ISIG)
The formwork is transported by a gantry that moves directly on the
tunnel-lining segments.
The gantry can carry the formwork for both the road deck and the smoke
evacuation duct.
Formwork for slab support corbel
The gantry travels on the tunnel-lining segments.
The scabbling and drilling units are mounted on specially designed platforms.
Scabbling and drilling gantry
The gantry is driven straight over the tunnel-lining segments.
A very large storage area for the reinforcement bars allows them to be laid
quickly and easily.
Rebar installation gantry
The gantry is equipped with a crane system that enables the installation of service
pipes and their supports.
The large, high-capacity storage area is optimally organised to facilitate all
handling operations.
Pipe installation gantry
The gantry moves on self-installed rails.
A cantilever arm picks up the prefabricated slabs and places them on the corbels.
The same arm can install the slabs of the road deck
and the smoke evacuation duct.
