German term or phrase: Ausbruchsquerschnitt (help with phrase)
I don't actually know the difference between routing, milling and boring so please correct me if I've reversed any of them.

1. Stollen und Tunnelvortrieb in standfestem Gebirge
Der Ausbruch des Gesteines kann durch Sprengen, Bohren und Fräsen erfolgen. Das Gestein wird *auf vollem Ausbruchsquerschnitt ausgebohrt* oder ausgefräst. Hierzu dienen Bohrköpfe, die auf Tunnelbohrmaschinen montiert sind.

1. Gallery and tunnel driving in stable mountain ranges
The stones can be excavated via blasting, boring and milling. The stone will be routed xauf full excavation cross section or be milled out. Drill heads, which are mounted on tunnel borers, serve to do this.

Excavation cross-section


Explanation:
Oh dear.

The rock is excavated by blasting, drilling and milling. The rock is drilled or milled across the whole excavation cross-section. This is done by drill heads mounted on the tunnel drilling machine.

Some points to note:
"Gebirge" here is NOT a mountain range, it is simply rock.
"Gesteine" is also rock, NOT stones.
"Borhen" here is generally drilling (in THIS context - it can also be "boring"
