wsdot This time-lapse video captures the difficult and challenging work to disassemble the worldâs largest-diameter tunneling machine. For four months, crews cut, hoisted and trucked away 8,000 tons of the machine’s equipment and steel, removing it from inside the tunnel it had built. Up next â finishing the double-deck highway […]

Bertha, also known as Big Bertha, is a 57-foot-diameter (17.4 m) tunnel boring machine built specifically for the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel project in Seattle.[1] It was made by Hitachi […]
In this type of drilling, the pipe is used as a final element of the tunnel and at the same time during the advance must be able to transmit the pushing force to the TBM (Hydroshield, EPB or open shield). The advance is made through the push made by a […]
The election of this type of perforation is influenced in great way of the type of ground and surface area of influence. Is absolutely necessary not to have groundwater levels and the ground has to be cohesive. This boring technic is inadvisable in free ground without cohesion, hard ground or […]
“Video courtesy of CDM/HMM Joint Venture – For engineering enthusiasts and anyone who’s interested in the mechanics of siphon construction, this animation shows exactly how the 110-ton, 300-foot-long tunnel boring machine will drill a distance of nearly two miles, 100 feet beneath the New York Harbor seabed…”.
