Special highlight
Our tunnelling machine, christened "Aline", has already been successfully deployed in the starting shaft in the harbour and has successfully completed its journey underground.
Current project status
The production of the required pipes has been fully completed. The actual tunnelling started in May. Just two days later, a tool inspection was successfully carried out under pressurised air - an important milestone for the safety and quality of the construction work.
Technical highlight
A mock-up has already been set up directly on the construction site for the further interior work. This is a demonstration model that shows how two GRP pipelines, each with a diameter of 1,200 mm, will later be laid on top of each other in the tunnel. A total of around 460 metres of tunnel were excavated. There is currently a delay in excavation in the south shaft - a challenge, but our team continues to work with commitment and purpose. The separation plant and the press equipment in the starting shaft have now been largely dismantled. Work is also progressing rapidly in the south shaft - there is only 3 metres to go before the shaft is fully excavated.
We are proud of the entire team on site, who are driving this pioneering project forward with great care, technical expertise and commitment. With "Aline" at the helm, we continue towards our goal - metre by metre.
