The excavator operates the extended excavator 6 located in the work room 5, runs the excavator 6 with the slit 15 as a guide, and automatically controls or remotely operates the excavator 6 from the ground to perform unmanned excavation. To do. Electric power is supplied to the excavator 6 by a cable fed from a cable take-up reel. The excavated earth and sand are put into the earth discharging bucket and discharged to the ground through the material shaft 7.

  (2) The excavator of the excavator 6 is pulled up through the slit 15, and the excavator 6 in the stored state is moved from the opening 21 into the maintenance chamber 12. The cable of the excavator 6 is taken up by a cable take-up reel.

  (3) The opening / closing door 22 is slid and closed, and the opening 21 is sealed. Since the cable of the excavator 6 is wound around the cable take-up reel, the open / close door 22 can be closed without hindrance.

  (4) The inside of the maintenance chamber 12 sealed with respect to the high-pressure working chamber 5 or the like is depressurized by the atmospheric pressure adjusting means and returned to the atmospheric pressure.

  (5) Carry out maintenance work such as inspection and maintenance of the excavator 6 or dismantling work in the maintenance room 12 under atmospheric pressure.

  When the excavator 6 is returned to the work chamber 5 after the maintenance is completed, the excavator 6 is returned to the work chamber 5 in the reverse procedure.

  When the excavator 6 is recovered to the ground after excavation settlement is completed, the excavator 6 is dismantled in the maintenance chamber 12 and then transported to the ground via the excavator recovery shaft 14 and the like. When the excavator 6 is carried into the work chamber 5 from the ground, the process is the reverse of the process for carrying out to the ground. The disassembled excavator is carried into the maintenance chamber 12 and assembled, and the assembled excavator 6 is assembled. It is carried onto the work room 5. The excavator 6 can be carried in and out without disassembling.
