Press release -  As the TBM 'Bella' prepares for her six-week journey to Melbourne, the team at TBM HQ in China gave our first Tunnel Boring Machine a dress rehearsal of epic proportions. Please click here for the YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84jtl1X56C8

On top of hundreds of hours of testing the machine's intricate systems, our team disassembled and reassembled her to make sure she’s ready to ship and ready to function when she arrives at the Northern Portal site in Footscray, Melbourne early next year.

After testing, Bella will be dismantled and packed into more than 75 large 40 foot shipping containers. And there are many parts that can't fit in shipping containers as well. See you next year,‘Bella’!
