The Power in Tunnelling

Guadarrama, Spain

References
Continental has more than 20 major tunnel installations of up to 15 km-long to its credit. Commencing with Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) in 1990, Continental went on to equip Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), and Noranda and Stillwater mine tunnels. In Australasia, Manapouri in New Zealand and Northside Storage in Australia, both time- and environmentally-sensitive schemes, were brought to successful conclusions. In mainland Europe, two installations have been supplied to AlpTransit Mitholz, Switzerland for use in a drill/blast environment; two to Guadarrama, Spain following large hardrock TBMs; and one each to Barcelona and Abdalajis. In the UK, both current projects at Heathrow Airport use Continental, and six installations have been supplied to three contractors on Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
