Tunneling & Mining

Emission-free operations underground – better work environment, lower costs.

Why electrify underground?

Tunneling and mining have traditionally relied on diesel machinery. Underground, exhaust fumes become a major problem – poor air quality affects worker health, and expensive ventilation is necessary to keep working conditions acceptable.

⚠️
The Challenge

Electric machines solve the emissions problem, but require high-power charging. The power grid inside tunnels is often limited or non-existent – and waiting for grid expansion delays the project.

Our Solution

Our mobile battery systems deliver high-power charging directly at the tunnel face – independent of the grid. Equipment relocates as the tunnel grows, following the work from start to breakthrough.

From assessment to operation

We take responsibility for the entire process – from needs analysis to ongoing maintenance underground.

Service and maintenance

Around-the-clock monitoring, preventive maintenance and fast emergency response – tailored to tunnel requirements.

What does electric operation mean underground?

🌬️

Clean air in the tunnel

Zero local emissions means workers avoid breathing diesel exhaust. The work environment improves dramatically, and health challenges related to poor air quality are reduced.

💨

Reduced ventilation need

Without diesel exhaust, ventilation needs can be significantly reduced. This provides cost savings, simpler logistics and faster progress.

🔇

Lower noise level

Electric machines are significantly quieter than diesel machines. Better communication, less strain on workers, and a safer work environment.

High-power charging without grid

Our mobile battery systems deliver high charging power – independent of the grid. Machines charge during shift changes and work emission-free all day.

🚚

Mobile infrastructure

As the tunnel face advances, charging stations follow. No permanent infrastructure needed – equipment adapts to project progress.

🔋

Reliable operation

With service agreement we monitor the system around the clock and ensure uptime. Remote support and emergency response when needed – you focus on tunneling.
