At the moment, the robust Main Beam is excavating its 10.1 km long tunnel in shale and limestone for contractor SAK Construction. The completed tunnel, which is located in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, will convey sanitary flow from the Fenton Wastewater Treatment Facility to the Lower Meramec Wastewater Treatment facility at the junction of the Mississippi and Meramec Rivers.
