Wimmer showcases the compact tunnel excavator and it comes with protecfire detexline 4MC.
The ‘Blue Badger’ is designed to work in smaller tunnel cross-sections, from 3.5m upwards.
It comprises a single boom with a 2x 45° swivel bearing that can carry drilling equipment, a bucket, hydraulic hammers, hydraulic milling machines, demolition tongs, a tunnel arch gripper and other specialised tools. The company made special mention of the ability of the Blue Badger to quickly change between these tools.
The Blue Badger was first used at the Plabutsch Tunnel near Graz in Austria. A safety upgrade to the 10km highway tunnel was required, which included an additional escape route.
This excavator was also used at the Aubergtunnel to construct a rescue tunnel for Marti in December 2018. The tunnel is designed to relieve the traffic congestion in Altenmarkt, Bavaria, Germany. It is planned as a section of the bypass for a length of approximately 1.5km. The estimated completion of the project is in early 2021.
The Blue Badger is also working at the Grand Paris project in France. Spie Batignolles is involved in the subway construction project on behalf of RATP, the metro operator. The Blue Badger is being used to excavate several sections.
The BLUE BADGER® from Wimmer is a tunnelling machine specially developed for applications in connection with the “New Austrian Tunnelling Method”. It is the preferred option where space is limited and is therefore particularly suitable for tunnel cross-sections from Ø 3.5m in height. The boom or its mobility is used for a flexible and wide range of applications in tunnel construction.

ARJES, a top global supplier of double-shaft shredders, has selected Protecfire’s Detexline 4MC fire suppression system for their machinery. This decision highlights ARJES’ commitment to quality and attention to detail, further solidifying their position as a leading provider in their industry.
Fine spray or water mist fire suppression is a relatively new technology that is gaining popularity in the field of fire safety. This system works by releasing a fine spray of water droplets that effectively extinguishes fires, making it an effective alternative to traditional fire suppression systems like sprinklers.
It is with great pride that our A-EX team fitted the fire protection system for Caetano’s first bus. The electric bus is equipped with a comprehensive fire protection system that covers all potential risk areas, from the battery level to heating areas. The successful implementation of this project has led to Caetano replicating the system on other buses in their production line.
COBUS has brought a star in the sky down to earth: COBUS VEGA.
It is a consequent development focusing on ecological challenges, economical demands, and enhanced passenger comfort.
Wind turbines are complex structures that require specialized fire suppression systems to protect them from potential fires.
The largest mining show in Latin America is consolidated as a space that promotes the transfer of knowledge, experiences and especially the offer of technologies that contribute to innovation and increase the productivity of mining processes.
Vehicles used in mining, construction, forestry, and agriculture face unique fire risks due to the harsh and demanding environments they operate in.
Our partner NABIT has already started the first day at Mining Turkey 2022. This fair will feature a showcase of our detexline systems for mining.
