This bachelor’s thesis deals with the current technology of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) and with the modern trends emerging in this focus area. The first part is devoted to a general description of TBM and the history of their development. The next part of the thesis deals with the different types of TBM and describes the way how they work and where and under what conditions they can be applied. The focus is also given to the comparison of these machines, distributed based on the environment they are designed for. These machines are as well compared with other tunnel boring methods. Subsequently, the application of TBM technology is analysed both on a global scale and within the Czech Republic. The thesis also discusses the frequency of TBM use in the mining industry and its possible potential in this branch. The last part is focused on the recent and possible future development of TBM.
