Rugged mobile computing specialist 2554 Mobexx has introduced a slimline 10-inch MIL-STD-810G, IP-65 tested Windows 8.1 Professional tablet PC.

The 1kg Xplore 1130 Bobcat has front and back facing cameras and is powered by an energy-efficient 1.9 GHz quad-core processor, an Intel Bay Trail E3845.

It has a backlit IPS LCD screen and is ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 certified. The Xplore Bobcat is for use explosive atmospheres and hazardous environments such as found in oil, gas and petrochemical production, mining, paint and food manufacturing sectors.
 
Mark Dale-Lace, Mobexx director, said the unit has an environmentally sealed casing and magnesium alloy mid-frame that allows the unit to withstand a drop of 1.52m, or 1.2m with accessories installed. “That should keep the software and system running and not missing a beat,” said Dale-Lace. “The long battery life ensures full eight-hour shifts, with the option of a hot swappable external battery will give an extra six hours, making it possible to run the device virtually nonstop for up to 14 hours.”

The tablet is equipped with a 128GB solid state drive for secure storage of applications and data with fast boot up. The Bobcat’s storage can be upgraded to 256GB, again using a solid state drive, or expanded up to 128GB using the micro SDXC slot.

    New developments in tunnelling technologies offer contractors greater efficiencies when constructing new bores. Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are widely being used in major projects such as the Brenner Base Tunnel in the Austrian Alps. Full face TBMs are highly sophisticated machines featuring a rotating drilling head, which removes the material, and, depending on the type of construction, secures the excavated tunnel with shotcrete, rock bolts and wire mesh or prefabricated segments of reinforced concrete.
