Five Crossrail TBMs underway

On 09.01.2013 Sophia, Crossrail’s fifth TBM, began the drive from Plumstead to North Woolwich which will carry London’s new rail link under the River Thames. The 110 m-long machine is scheduled to bore around 100 m/week, installing a lining of precast concrete segmental rings.
