Lower Thames Crossing Tunnel Boring Machine
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Thurrock, England, United Kingdom
Source: New Civil Engineer
The project involves the construction of the largest tunnel boring machine (TBM) used in Europe for the Lower Thames Crossing. The 16.4m diameter TBM, manufactured by Herrenknecht in Germany, will be delivered in segments by sea in 2028. It will bore two parallel tunnels, each sized to accommodate three lanes of traffic, making it the longest road tunnel in the UK. The TBM will be a variable densi

Description
Description | The project involves the construction of the largest tunnel boring machine (TBM) used in Europe for the Lower Thames Crossing. The 16.4m diameter TBM, manufactured by Herrenknecht in Germany, will be delivered in segments by sea in 2028. It will bore two parallel tunnels, each sized to accommodate three lanes of traffic, making it the longest road tunnel in the UK. The TBM will be a variable density machine designed to handle fluctuating groundwater and mixed soil conditions, powered by renewable electricity. The machine will be operated by the Bouygues Travaux Publics Murphy joint venture, National Highways' delivery partner for the tunnels. |
