Hard Rock in Turkey

03/02/2014

In December, 2013 a 4.3 m-diameter Robbins double shield TBM emerged triumphant after boring a 9.3 km-long headrace tunnel in Turkey’s Adana Province for the Yamanli II hydroelectric project. The hard rock TBM broke through on time, due to excellent advance rates and minimal downtime for the duration of the project.
