Annual Review 2011
Breakthrough of the world's largest hard rock TBM at 14.4m diameter was one of the historic markers of the industry in the year 2011. The Robbins TBM recorded a hero's welcome at breakthrough (above) following a long and tortured drive that tested the resolve of all involved through excavation of the 10.2km (6.3 mile) Niagara hydro scheme water diversion project for Ontario Power Generation in Canada.
In this second edition of the TunnelTalk Annual Review other major events of the year are highlighted - the ones that punctuated the year internationally and chartered the progress of projects into 2012.
