Brenner Basistunnel Tunnelbohrmaschinen – Giganten im Berg 2022
Since last summer 2021, the construction work on the Brenner Base Tunnel project has been impressively displayed in large-scale pictures. The exhibition area is located on the southern half of the gallery at Innsbruck's main railway station. Every three to four months, a new thematic focus is presented. Now the time has come again: this time visitors can get an idea of the impressive tunnelling tools that are used to excavate the BBT tunnel tubes by machine, starting from the South Tyrolean construction site of Mauls in the direction of the Brenner Pass
Tunnel boring machines - giants in the mountain
From now on, the South Tyrolean construction site "Mauls" will be presented with its two tunnel boring machines (TBM). Every day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., visitors, passers-by and travellers can find out about the impressive construction work deep in the mountain at the railway station
There, two 300-metre-long TBMs, each with the resonant names "Flavia" and "Virginia", are excavating the main tunnels to the north. Until recently, there were even three TBMs in operation here, because the third tube of the tunnel system - the exploratory tunnel - was also excavated by machine. This excavation, generated by the TBM "Serena", already arrived at the Brenner in November of the previous year
So far, the focus has been on the two construction lots "Sillschlucht" and "Eisackunterquerung". The visit is free of charge.
