M-532 4th Tube of the Elbe Tunnel/Cross Passages, Hamburg

The south and central emergency tunnels act as escape routes from the forth tube to the existing Elbe Tunnel and vice versa. They meet, with a certain margin, in the existing west bore. The emergency tunnels were driven with a TBM using compressed air from the new forth bore.

M-929 Kura West River Crossing

The oil and gas pipeline ?Blue Line? is under construction from Baku on the Caspian Sea via the country of Azerbaijan and Georgia through Turkey to the Mediterranean harbour of Ceyhan. The Herrenknecht TBM M-929M is a mixed shield slurry shield. The tunnel diameter is 1.60 m and the tunnel length is 2 x 400 metres. To support the working face the shield tunnelling machine will work in closed mode to permit maximum pressures of 3,0 bar, which is the equivalent of a water depth of 30 metres.

S-108 4th Tube of the River Elbe Crossing Tunnel, Hamburg

Trude, the world largest TBM with a diameter of 14.2 m, broke through safely and inch-perfect in Hamburg Othmarschen on 2nd March 2002 after driving 2,561 metres underground. The 4th Tube of the River Elbe Crossing Tunnel was completed in two years and five months. Trude's breakthrough marked a new milestone in tunnel construction.

S-110 Railway Tunnel, Berlin

The two identical Herrenknecht mixshield TBMs completed the first four bores in the north section of the railway tunnel. The first of the two machines started tunnelling at the end of December 1999. A specially developed membrane system provided the necessary level of safety during the four shield launches.

S-127 Socatoptunnel, Paris

The TBM S-127 Socatop was built to bore the A86 motorway tunnel in Paris. The project was split up into two sections, VL 1 and VL 2, each approx. 5 km long. The TBM used was an adjustable mixshield enabling changeovers between bentonite (slurry), EPB or semi-open mode, depending on the geology the machine could be easily converted from EPB to slurry mode and vice versa within two days.

S-137 Westerschelde, Terneuzen

The statistics say it all: up to 60 metres underground, and with a total length of 6.6 km and pressures of up to 6.5 bars. Two Herrenknecht TBMs drove under the Westerschelde River to create a road tunnel linking Zuid-Beveland and Zeeuwsch-Vlaanderen in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

S-138 Westerschelde, Terneuzen

S-138 Westerschelde, Terneuzen

S-140 Thalwil Tunnel, Zurich

Two Herrenknecht shields successfully accomplished their mission in the Zurich-Thalwil core project of the Bahn 2000 (Railway 2000) project (Zimmerberg Base Tunnel). In March 1999, the mixshield TBM (Ø 12.36 m) launched from contract section 2.01. On the 2.7 km route, ca. 2,000 m was through freshwater molasse and ca. 700 m through soft mixed ground (crushed stone and deposits). The mix shield was equipped to drive through rock and soft mixed ground.

S-149 PTS-Tunnel, Zürich-Kloten Airport

From autumn 1999 to summer 2001, a Herrenknecht hydroshield TBM S-149 drove under the runway at Zürich-Kloten Airport in Switzerland. The two tunnels, 970 m and 990 m respectively, are used as pedestrian passenger tunnels.

S-150 Sophiaspoortunnel, Rotterdam

The Mixshield TBM drove a Railway Tunnel (2 x 4.2 km ) for Rail freight traffic. As part of the 160 km-long Betuwe Route, which links the Port of Rotterdam with the German border, the Sophiaspoor Tunnel runs under the Rotterdam-Dordrecht Railway, the A16 Motorway, the Rivers Rietbaan and De Noord, and the A15 Motorway.

S-152 Wesertunnel, Kleinensiel

From July 1999 to 2001, a Herrenknecht mixshield TBM drove its way over to the opposite bank of the River Weser in Kleinensiel. The new four-lane road (two bores) forms a high-capacity link between the B 212, B 437 and the A 27.

S-164 Lefortovo Tunnel, Moscow

The Herrenknecht mixshield TBM (Ø 14.20 m), the largest of its kind in the world, drove its way under Moscow. The refurbished shield drove a 2,222 m-long tunnel, which is part of the third orbital peripheral road in the east of Moscow.

S-168 Pannerdenschkanaal Tunnel

The mixshield TBM drove a railway tunnel (2 x 1.6 km) for rail freight traffic. As part of the 160 km-long Betuwe route, which links the Port of Rotterdam with the German border, the railway tunnel runs under the Pannerdensch canal between Bemel and Zeveneer.

S-185 Heathrow Airport, London

To provide an optimum logistical link between the western section of the airport and the main terminal, an underground airside road tunnel was built, consisting of two parallel bores, each 1,264 metres in length.

S-187 Metro Caracas

S-192 CTRL Contract 320 Thames Tunnel

To the east of London, two 2,500 m-long railway tunnels were constructed as part of the CTRL (Channel Tunnel Rail Link) project. As from 2007, the single track tunnels will link the British capital with the Eurotunnel (Channel Tunnel), thus shortening the travel time between London and Paris to 2 hours and 15 minutes. The British Tunnelling Society recognised the excellent teamwork by presenting the "Major Project Award" to the construction team for this section.

S-221 Ute Gorg Linia 9

Der mit einem Durchmesser von 12,06 m größte Erddruck-Schild der Welt hat seine Arbeit für die Metro Linie 9 in Barcelona im September 2003 aufgenommen. Der Bohrgigant stellt nicht nur hinsichtlich seines Durchmessers einen Weltrekord auf. Der EPB-Schild verfügt auch über das höchste, jemals in eine TBM installierte Drehmoment von 45 Millionen Nm. Auf dieser Maschine wurden nun zum ersten Mal Arbeiten in Überdruck bei 2,0 bar erfolgreich von der Nordseetaucher GmbH ausgeführt und damit auch zum ersten Mal auf einer Tunnelmaschine in Spanien.
