Enerpac’s innovative Jack-up Gantry System lifts and lowers Paris Metro Tunnel Boring Machine.
Leading French heavy lift company, Scales SAS, has used an Enerpac JS-250 Jack-Up Gantry System to lift and lower Koumba, an 8.9 metre diameter and 11.4 metre-long Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) weighing 800 tonnes, in the latest phase of the Paris Metro extension project.
The Paris Metro Tunnel construction is a significant project aimed at expanding the metro network in the Ile-de-France region. The Grand Paris Express Projects include the construction of new rapid transit lines and the extension of existing lines, with a total of 200 kilometres of new tracks and 68 new stations planned. The project is expected to serve approximately two million passengers daily and is currently the largest infrastructure project in Europe.
The construction involves the use of advanced tunnelling machines and eco design principles to minimise environmental impact. The project is testament to the city’s commitment to urban planning and infrastructure development, aiming to improve connectivity and quality of life for the region’s inhabitants.
Features of Enerpac’s JS-250 Jack-Up Gantry System include:
• Self-contained hydraulics in each jack-up unit
• Synchronously lift loads with multiple jack-up units
• Adjustable top barrel
• Lifting barrels are stacked together to mechanically hold the load
• Three per cent side load capacity
• The Smart Box SBSJ-SCCV4 is a proprietary Enerpac control platform. It allows operator to control up to eight jack-up towers simultaneously
