Workers relish their boring job

14 February 2008
 
A 53t tunnel boring machine has been safely lowered into place as part of the £7.1M Ross Flood alleviation scheme, spearheaded by Herefordshire Council.

The machine will now to start burrowing out a 400m-long tunnel as part of the engineering works. Tunnel engineer Morgan Est, led by project manager, Ken Henderson, carefully steered the machine as it was lowered into place over the underground shaft by a 50t crane.

Now the machine is underground, another nine gantries will need to be lowered into the shaft, and this will be done as work on the tunnel progresses. The gantries will be attached to the tunnelling machine, creating a type of underground ‘train’.
