Following that TBM Ida, working on the H41 Sill Gorge-Pfons construction lot, completed a 8.4km drive to reach her destination in the town of Navis, the Brenner Base Tunnel project has recorded the first breakthrough of a main tunnel tube in Austria.<\/p>\n
Being commissioned in June 2023 from Ahrental, near Innsbruck, this 10.4m-diameter, 160m-long TBM travelled south to build the western main tunnel tube, that included three complex geological fault zones: the Viggartal and Walzn, and the approximately 35m-wide Werner zone, which was successfully negotiated at the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n
According to BBT SE board members Martin Gradnitzer and Gilberto Cardola: “After the last Italian TBM arrived at the border at the Brenner Pass in May, TBM Ida\u2019s breakthrough marked another key project success on the Austrian side.”<\/p>\n
Naming of Ida was up to children from the Navis Elementary School, and in July they decorated one of the final tunnel segments produced at the factory in Ahrental.<\/p>\n
The scheduled date for TBM Lilia to break through on the eastern main tunnel tube is the autumn to complete all mechanised excavation on Lot 41.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
