Guiding rods are used during the installation of precast concrete tunnel segments to help guide each segment into the correct position as it is erected. By helping align adjoining segments, they reduce the need for manual adjustment and support a more controlled installation process.
Optimas International supplies guiding rods for a range of tunnelling applications, including metro, rail, road, utility and sewer projects. Dimensions and placement are matched to the tunnel segment and ring design, helping the rods work effectively within the wider tunnel construction system. Guiding rods form part of our integrated radial joint solution alongside dowel systems, bolting systems and shear cones, helping ensure the different components work together during segment installation.
