Crossrail’s Tunneling Machines

The BBC has been showing a story with video about Crossrail‘s giant tunneling machines which will start work in the near future.

Crossrail has more on the boring of 42 km. of tunnels under London using eight tunnel boring machines here.

They also have more on the Tunneling and Underground Construction Academy, which will be a unique legacy of Crossrail and will continue to provide trained staff for tunnel projects all over the world.

We really are entering the Golden Age of Tunneling.
