In soft rock, this offers an advantage over blasting, because the bedrock is not damaged by vibrations. Moreover, numerous other operations in tunnel construction and rehabilitation are made possible by excavator-mounted cutting attachments.

It is currently also being used for a major infrastructure project in Poland. PORR has been commissioned with the planning and construction of the 16 km long section III Bolków – Kamienna Góra of the S3 motorway.
