Selected heavy-duty equipment configurations currently serving major geotechnical and underground engineering sectors in the São Paulo metro area.
São Paulo, as the financial and industrial heartbeat of South America, is constantly undergoing massive urban transformation. The expansion of underground networks, such as the Metrô de São Paulo (including Linha 2-Verde, Linha 5-Lilás, and the complex excavation of Linha 6-Laranja), presents unprecedented engineering challenges. Geologically, the region features highly varied soil-rock profiles, including weathered granite-gneiss basement structures, fractured transition zones, and saturated alluvial deposits.
For civil engineering and tunneling contractors operating in São Paulo, strata reinforcement is paramount. The New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and heavy mechanized tunneling shields rely heavily on immediate rock anchoring to prevent structural collapse. Utilizing robust hydraulic roof bolting rigs is not just a productivity preference—it is a critical safety requirement. Rigs must deliver high rotational torque and precise feed force to penetrate complex rock formations without triggering destabilization in sensitive urban environments.
On a global scale, the underground mining and tunneling sector is moving away from manual, pneumatic systems toward fully integrated, low-emission hydraulic platforms. In Brazil, regulatory compliance is extremely strict. All heavy machinery imported and operated in the country must comply with NR-12 (Safety in Machinery and Work Equipment) and NR-22 (Health and Occupational Safety in Mining). These standards mandate failsafe operational mechanisms, robust protective structures, and low noise thresholds.
Furthermore, as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets become central to Brazilian corporate procurement policies, contractors are prioritizing machines with optimized power-to-weight ratios. Shandong E-Way Machine Co., Ltd. addresses this demand by manufacturing rigs equipped with noise-dampening dampeners, efficient hydraulic circuits that reduce heat generation, and versatile chassis designs that allow quick adaptability to various bolt sizes.
Engineered for long life-cycles in deep mining, subways, and civil geological consolidation projects.
Operating out of Shandong, China's industrial manufacturing heartland, Shandong E-Way Machine Co., Ltd. integrates state-of-the-art material processing, heat treatment, and precision welding under a unified quality assurance system. Our production advantage lies in the complete control of our supply chain—from selecting high-strength steel alloys like 42CrMo to manufacturing precision valves and hydraulic actuators.
By leveraging Chinese industrial clusters, we achieve R&D cycles and production efficiencies that are unmatched by Western suppliers. What takes other manufacturers months to prototype, we can build, test, and dispatch in weeks. This speed of adaptation is particularly valuable for Brazilian procurement managers who need customized roof bolters to fit specific rock sizes, low heights, or particular hydraulic flow configurations on their existing machinery fleets.
Our key advantages include:
Every component is engineered, welded, and tested within our standardized facilities to guarantee high performance in the field.
Integral assembly
Precision Slicing
Drum Fabrication
Robotic & Manual Weld
Assembly & Testing Bench
CNC Cutting Machine
Barrel Winder

How E-Way's hydraulic rigs ensure safety and high speed in diverse tunneling conditions.
In highly weathered rock formations, conventional mechanical anchors may lack sufficient grip. Our hydraulic roof bolting rigs feature modular drill heads that easily transition between rotary-percussive drilling (for fast hole creation) and low-speed, high-torque settings required for installing resin cartridges or cement grout. This adaptability ensures high anchoring load capacity and reduces installation time per bolt.
For small-span tunnels or coal mine roadways with headroom limitations, standard drill rigs are too large to operate. Our range of hand-held hydraulic and portable leg-type roof bolters delivers similar torque outputs as large machinery but can be handled in tight spaces, offering flexibility in structural reinforcement work.
Operator safety is our priority. Our hydraulic systems are configured with remote-control compatibility or mechanical guide columns that allow operators to position the rig, drill the hole, and install the anchor rod while standing under supported roofs. This minimizes risk and aligns with international mine safety standards.
