Three 8.93 m Robbins EPBs with continuous conveyor systems are tunnelling from shafts up to 150 m deep through watery clays and large boulders at the 62 km-long Emisor Oriente wastewater tunnel. The project will curb flooding in downtown Mexico City as part of an overhaul of the capital's ageing sewer system. View the video and visit www.robbinstbm.com.
