Break In.. a step closer...

At last one TBM break into BTN... this machine has been tunnelling underground for quite a long time, once the whole machine is out, i will take more pics.. at least a portion of the project has completed, we will wait for the next TBM to break in within 2 mths. Had a small party, drank some beer and sake (japanese rice wine). Stomach uneasy, maybe gastric problem.

The huge 6.72m diameter TBM...

Colleagues & me...

See my size compared to the machine...

Almost there...

Hacking the concrete wall to help the TBM easier to break in...

WALL WALL, pls move away!
