MEGA TUNNEL MACHINES - Drilling, Digging & Blasting

The tunnel builders are in constant use for the major construction projects “Stuttgart 21” and “Wendlingen-Ulm”. Numerous rail tunnels are being built in Baden-Württemberg, including three of the longest in Germany. One of them is the twin-tube Albvorland tunnel in Kirchheim unter Teck with a length of 8,176 meters. Before the first meters can be excavated with a tunnel boring machine right next to the A8 motorway, the workers have to load the two most important components.
