On Oct 15, 2020 08:00 AM in Pacific Time (US and Canada) Robbins are hosting a new webinar called “48 Fault Zones and 26 Bar Pressure: Tunneling Turkey's Gerede Water Tunnel”

Difficult ground doesn't begin to describe the challenges overcome at a recent tunnel in central Turkey. The breakthrough of a 5.5 m diameter Robbins Crossover XRE TBM at the Gerede Water Transmission Tunnel was a feat of modern construction. The 9 km leg was the final section of the 31.6 km long water supply line bored through what is widely considered to be Turkey’s most challenging geology: from 48 fault zones to water pressures up to 26 bar, the ground put the machine and the crew to the test.

Join in on the conversation with Robbins Vice President Doug Harding as we find out how the unique TBM design and experienced crew overcame a gamut of challenges. In this complimentary, 45-minute event we will  cover these topics and more. Join us for a live Q&A session at the end to get a thorough answer from our expert speaker.
