Our 2.8 m #Robbins TBM just broke through at the Salvasskardelva HEPP in Norway! Congrats to contractor NGK and all those involved in completing this unique tunnel, bored above the Arctic Circle in what may be the world's northernmost TBM tunnel.
✨The BTS is back with the first talk of 2020!✨
Join us Thursday 16th January at the ICE. MSc Anne Katherine Kalager and Professor Eivind Grøv will be presenting on the technical challenges with future tunnels in Norway🚇🇳🇴
Snøhvit (Snow White) is a 2.8 m diameter Robbins Main Beam specially designed and manufactured for project owner Norsk Grønnkraft (NGK) to bore steep gradients through hard rock. Check out photos from her launch here: https://t.co/5jtgLO0Jxz
It's been a fantastic week at #BAUMA2019 so far! If you are at the show, join us this afternoon (4/11) at 5:30 pm CET for food, drinks, and a special hydro tunneling presentation by Robbins Civil Engineer @Sindre_Log.
New Robbins 3D animation! Ground conditions don’t always fit into one category so why should your machine? This video explains how Robbins Crossover XRE TBMs work & why they are the solution for mixed ground tunnels worldwide. https://t.co/xXL60R4qzv
“We’re running out of room on the surface, so you’ve got to go underground to create your infrastructure,” - Tyler Sandell, director of business development @Robbins_Co https://t.co/0Z8Fwrdd6c
The new year is off to a great start; a Robbins Rockhead broke through January 1 after boring the 700-meter-long Holen Hydro tunnel in Norway. A unique aspect of this bore is the breakthrough occurred at a 45-degree angle. Congratulations Hardanger Maskin on this feat!
Congratulations to Kolin/Limak JV on today’s breakthrough at the Gerede Water Transmission tunnel! The 5.56 m diameter Robbins Crossover XRE TBM bored what is widely recognized as Turkey’s most challenging geology. Read more about the project here: https://t.co/dXSikahA4C
Love #StrangerThings and #tunneling? Fun Fact: scenes from the show were filmed at Georgia’s Bellwood Quarry, where a 3.8 m Robbins Main Beam TBM bored an 8.0 km long tunnel for the Atlanta Water Supply Program. #HappyHalloween2018 https://t.co/f6B2N7vYVp
"It's 25 kilometres long and it runs right under the Thames"
This is world-class engineering. Watch the full film at: https://t.co/e1KY1OmclE

Check out these photos from the July launch of a Robbins Double Shield Rockhead in scenic Sogn Og Fjordane, Norway. The unique machine is equipped with features to bore a 640m micro-hydro tunnel at a steep incline for the Holen Hydroelectric Power Project: https://t.co/69r2THI4SP
While more commonly associated with politics, transparency can aid the tunnel boring industry as well. In Robbins President Lok Home’s new blog, he argues the need for widespread sharing of project knowledge and provides ways in which it can be achieved. https://t.co/6VDAFcXorZ
