A tunnel boring machine (TBM) operated by the Eiffage G\u00e9nie Civil\u2013NGE-BTP consortium has achieved its third breakthrough on the Toulouse Metro Line C project in France.<\/p>\n
TBM Berthe de Puybusque has reached the future Lyc\u00e9e Toulouse-Lautrec station, following earlier breakthroughs at Fondeyre and Ponts-Jumeaux stations. The machine will now continue excavation towards its final destination at Raisin station.<\/p>\n
The Eiffage G\u00e9nie Civil\u2013NGE-BTP consortium has deployed three TBMs for the project, which involves constructing a new 27km metro line across the Toulouse metropolitan area. The line will comprise 21 stations and provide five interchanges with railway stations.<\/p>\n
The consortium was awarded the civil engineering contracts for Lots 1 and 2 by Tiss\u00e9o Ing\u00e9nierie.<\/p>\n
Lot 1<\/strong> extends from the Colomiers auxiliary structure, located approximately 100m from Colomiers Gare station, to the Laporte auxiliary structure. The scope includes the design and construction of a 3.85km tunnel, three stations, four intermediate ancillary structures and three shafts connecting the surface to the tunnel.<\/p>\n Lot 2<\/strong> covers the section from the Laporte auxiliary structure to Raynal station. Its scope includes the design and construction of an 8.416km tunnel, six stations, five intermediate auxiliary structures, a connecting tunnel to the maintenance site and nine shafts connecting the surface to the tunnel.<\/p>\n Once completed, Line C will extend from Colomiers station in the north-west to Lab\u00e8ge station in the south-east, providing a new 27km metro connection across the Toulouse metropolitan area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A tunnel boring machine (TBM) operated by the Eiffage G\u00e9nie Civil\u2013NGE-BTP consortium has achieved its third breakthrough on the Toulouse Metro Line C project in France.
