Find out how mechanized tunnelling from Herrenknecht shapes the world of tomorrow.

Has the future at Herrenknecht ever been as exciting as it is today? I’m sure we will not run out of stuff to bore through there. On the contrary. The golden age of tunnelling and the underground is just beginning. Progress is fueled by the unbroken trend toward urbanization, the increasing demand for mobility around the world and the associated need to put more and more efficient infrastructures underground. This leads to increasingly ambitious high-impact projects in the world of tunnelling.

In the coming decades, hundreds of new megacities will emerge; existing metropolises will grow to unbelievable sizes. Gigantic urban habitats whose citizens need housing, drinking water, environmentally friendly, flexible and affordable mobility concepts; all this in the tightest of spaces. An obvious, almost inevitable solution: systematic urban development underground.

In future the networks between nations and metropolises will become ever denser, more complex and faster. “Connecting the World”, whether in the form of high-speed routes, fiber optic cables or pipelines, even here the way leads underground, natural or artificial barriers must be tunnelled under.

Discover our “All Around“ stories and find out how mechanized tunnelling shapes the world. We wish you a pleasant journey through the future of tunnel construction.
