Follo Line Project 50% of Excavation completed

08/11/2017

At the beginning of November the Joint Venture between Ghella/Acciona reached an important milestone on the Follo Line Project. The 4 TBMs involved have now excavated 50 percent of the tunnels. Which means 18 km of tunnels have been bored to date since Eufemia, the first TBM, started its journey in September last year.

The first TBM launched, Eufemia, has excavated 5,3 km, and is 60 % of her way to Oslo, and Ellisiv is following just 150 meters  behind. Both machines are ahead of schedule and will reach Oslo in the  Summer of 2018. The following two TBMs, Anna and Magda, are working nonstop towards Ski, and are well on schedule.

They have each excavated respectively 3,8 km (42%) and 3,6 km (ca 40%).
