For the first time, a tunnel under the Panama Canal was constructed using a TBM. The Herrenknecht Mixshield, with a diameter of 13.5 meters, successfully reached the target shaft, making the project a new flagship project in international tunnel construction.

For the construction of Metro Linea 3 in Panama, under the leadership of Panama Metro, project managers relied on our decades of experience with mechanized tunnelling technology for crossing under rivers, straits, and canals.
Due to challenging geological and hydrogeological conditions, such projects regularly place the highest demands on both people and technology.

Since tunnelling began in September 2024, the crews of the HPH consortium have driven a total of 4.5 kilometers of tunnel.
In the process, peak performance rates of up to 150 segment rings, or 300 meters, per month were achieved. The tunnel crossing beneath the Panama Canal at a depth of up to 65 meters below sea level, as well as the subsequent sections of the route, were completed safely and efficiently.

A key factor in the project’s success was the performance of the project-specific designed Mixshield. In particular, the accessible cutting wheel, which allows for tool changes at atmospheric pressure, once again proved its worth under demanding conditions.

The new Metro Linea 3 will create a high-performance transit link between the western suburbs and downtown Panama City.
In the future, it is expected to offer approximately 250,000 commuters a significantly faster and more comfortable connection every day.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the project on this extraordinary success and another milestone in mechanized tunnel construction.

Three days, countless ideas and one shared goal: turning complex data into practical solutions.

At this year's Black Forest Hackathon in Offenburg, our colleagues from Technology & Innovation and Geotechnics once again challenged participants with a real-world task from the tunnelling industry.

The challenge: develop approaches to automatically extract, standardize and georeference data from geological borehole logs from unstructured data originating from projects around the world. The objective was to transform heterogeneous documents, scans and PDFs into a searchable geodatabase and make valuable geological knowledge more accessible.

The results were impressive.
Over the course of the hackathon, participants explored innovative ways to combine data extraction, georeferencing and visualization, demonstrating how digital tools and smart automation can help unlock the value hidden in large and diverse datasets.

Congratulations to "Claude’s Plan", this year's winner of the Black Forrest Hackathon with the Herrenknecht challenge, demonstrating exceptional problem understanding, a technically sound solution and impressive UI, but also to all other teams for delivering impressive results on our challenge. We were also pleased to sponsor one of this year's awards, supporting the event's mission of bringing together technology, creativity and entrepreneurial thinking.

A big thank you to all participants, organizers and partners for an inspiring weekend full of collaboration, technological curiosity and fresh perspectives.
We are already looking forward to next year.

Congratulations to BAB Rörtryckning AB on the final breakthrough at the Ringledning E3B Project in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Using a Herrenknecht AVND2400AB, the team completed a 133 m river crossing, installing reinforced concrete pipes with an internal diameter of 2,500 mm as part of Gothenburg's ring-shaped primary water supply network.
The drive was completed with virtually no wear on the machine and cutterhead. Remarkably, even the machine's original paint finish remained clearly visible after 133 m of tunnelling.
A special launch solution was required from the very beginning: due to the compact oval design of the launch shaft, the machine was initially advanced using short hydraulic cylinders before commencing excavation in the challenging soft clay geology.

Congratulations to everyone involved in successfully delivering another important piece of water infrastructure.
In this case, the tunnel helps ensure a reliable supply of fresh water for the people of Gothenburg.

What began as a small engineering office in southern Germany gradually evolved into a company driven by a bold vision.
Engineers, designers, and mechanics worked side by side to develop innovative machine concepts for ever more demanding tunnelling projects.

Each challenge inspired new ideas, and every successful project paved the way for the next breakthrough.

The first “MH machines” marked the beginning of a journey that soon reached far beyond southern Germany.

As the team expanded, new markets emerged and projects grew in scale and complexity. Fueled by engineering excellence, pioneering spirit, and the courage to break new ground, these first 25 years laid the foundation for a global success story.

Every week, we'll release a new chapter of our Herrenkecht history!
Stay tuned!

A sensation: in 1993, the Europipe Tunnel was laid beneath the mudflats of the Wadden Sea nature reserve on Germany’s North Sea coast.

Dornum was the final destination of a gas pipeline coming from Norway. To protect the sensitive nature reserve and safely install the pipeline, a 2.6 km tunnel was planned — with 98% of its length running beneath the tidelands.

A Herrenknecht AVN3000AH installed reinforced concrete pipes, 3m in diameter, through the Wadden Sea. Its special feature: a cone crusher broke up the excavated material so it could be removed via slurry conveyance. The machine was steered remotely from the target shaft via a fiber-optic cable, meaning the tunnel itself only had to be entered for monitoring or maintenance.

With an average advance of 26 metres per day, the projected construction time was reduced by more than two months.
But the real sensation was its length: a 2.5 km pipe-jacking drive completed without an intermediate shaft. A record that remains unchallenged to this day.

You got it: we’re celebrating 50 years of hightech in action! Join us in reliving our history!

Before Martin Herrenknecht became an entrepreneur, innovator, and global market leader, he stood as a young engineer at Seelisberg facing a challenge of historic dimension. It was there that the world’s largest tunnel boring machine of its time was put into operation.

Ahead of the team lay 9.5 km of uncharted ground. At Seelisberg, he discovered his passion for tunnel construction. He was fascinated not only by the extraordinary technical challenges beyond anything previously attempted, but also by the people behind them: a tunnel construction team determined to push boundaries and venture where no one had gone before.

Between rock and steel, a conviction began to grow: with courage, engineering excellence, and teamwork, even the impossible could become possible. It was here, at Seelisberg, that a vision was born: “There has to be a better way.”
The beginning of an extraordinary entrepreneurial journey.

Every week, we'll release a new chapter of our Herrenkecht history!
Stay tuned!

Congratulations to Michels Corporation on receiving the 2026 Project of the Year Award from Trenchless Technology for the Tri-City WRRF Outfall Project in Oregon!

The project stands out for its scale and complexity. The team installed a new effluent pipeline connecting the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) to the Willamette River. This included approximately 730 m (2,400 ft) of continuous microtunnelling using a 2,865 mm diameter Herrenknecht AVND2200. The work was carried out in challenging mixed-ground conditions and in close coordination with adjacent bridge construction activities.

The project also presented significant technical challenges from a microtunnelling perspective. Excavation took place in demanding mixed-ground conditions consisting of sand, gravel and cobbles. Sections of the alignment featured very shallow cover and road crossings, while the complex route included multiple horizontal and vertical curves. The AVN machine operated in continuous compressed-air support mode to enable safe excavation and face support, below and above the groundwater table. In addition, it was equipped with a dedicated retrieval module, enabling recovery of the machine from within the river at the end of the drive.

The installation ranks among the longest, largest and most geometrically complex microtunnelling projects completed in North America. Working together with AECOM and other project partners, the team delivered a critical piece of public infrastructure through innovative engineering, careful planning and close collaboration.

We are proud that a Herrenknecht AVN machine contributed to this award-winning project, and we congratulate the entire Michels team, as well as all project partners, on this well-deserved recognition.

Last Monday, Caroline, the Herrenknecht Mixshield, successfully completed its breakthrough ahead of schedule, reaching the end shaft in Gravesend, UK.

The Grain to Tilbury project, lead by National Grid, aims to replace the existing cable tunnel. Caroline excavated and installed segmental lining along 2.2km beneath the River Thames, working in challenging geological conditions including very strong flintstones, water pressures of up to 4,5 bar and high ground permeability.
This successful breakthrough is the result of high-performing machines, the TBM and the VSM (used to build both the start and end shafts in Tilbury), perfectly integrated additional equipment, ensuring smooth and efficient logistics throughout the entire operation, and strong teamwork on site.

The TBM maintained a high advance rate thanks to its high-performance design and the efficiency of its water circulation system, rock crusher, and tooling. Keeping the machine continuously supplied with segments was key to maintaining this efficient pace.
With two rings available on the segment feeder and one ring positioned on the quick unloader, ring assembly could proceed without interruption. The MSV kept the logistics flow moving by transporting a complete ring directly to the TBM and maneuvering precisely thanks to its remote-control system. Its foldable cabin also allowed it to return to the launch shaft while the segment crane refilled the quick unloader, supporting continuous operation.

Meanwhile, on the surface, the separation system reliably and efficiently filtered the fine chalk particles from the slurry, maintaining the throughput required by the TBM and supporting uninterrupted excavation.

And above all, excellent teamwork made it happen! Well-organized logistics and close coordination between all teams on site were essential to achieving this performance with TBM Caroline and Verena, Europe's largest VSM to date.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this achievement! 🎉
Thank you to our customers for their trust BEMO Tunnelling Ferrovial!
