What Horizontal Drilling International (HDI) is doing for the environment around the Interconnexion électrique France Espagne (INELFE) project is impressive. The project aims to create an electrical connection between France and Spain in order to increase power exchange capacity. HDI has decided to increasingly electrify its equipment fleet. The all-electric Herrenknecht HDD rig therefore fits into HDI's role as a committed player in the ecological transition. Watch HDI's film to see the benefits of an electric HDD rig and what other measures HDI is implementing for an eco-friendly construction site. https://lnkd.in/exKmvQ6i

We are pleased to share our latest animation, showcasing two of our advanced tunnelling technologies: Single Shield TBMs – A reliable choice for tunnelling through rock and stable soils, well-suited for pipe jacking and segmental lining projects. Double Shield TBMs – Combining the capabilities of Gripper and Single Shield TBMs, these machines are designed for long-distance tunnelling through challenging rock conditions. For a closer look at how these technologies work, watch our new animation here: https://lnkd.in/eEvS6Bk9 #herrenknecht #pioneeringundergroundtogether

Have you ever wondered how a cutterhead center is loaded on a truck? A Herrenknecht Single Shield TBM is being used in the construction of the second main tube of the Gotthard Road tunnel. With the impressive dimensions of the cutterhead – 6,900 mm in length, 6,300 mm in width, 2,200 mm in height, and weighing 96 tons – maximum precision is required during loading. It's crucial that the center is placed precisely on the truck to optimally distribute the axle loads. In addition, a specially designed load securing system is required to keep the enormous weight secure during transportation. Check out the video to see how this gigantic piece is being loaded! #pioneeringundergroundtogether #herrenknecht

15 years ago a Herrenknecht Gripper-TBM achieved a breakthrough at the Bogong Hydropower Project in Victoria, Australia. McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust.) Pty. Ltd. used the 5-metre diameter Gripper TBM to excavate a distance of 6.4 km. This project plays a key role in providing clean, renewable energy to thousands of households, aligning with the growing focus on environmental sustainability and CO₂-free energy sources. After successful use in Lugano Switzerland, the TBM was refurbished and adapted for this project, contributing to Australia’s push for greener energy solutions.

At the beginning of September, work on the two wells for the geothermal project in Polling, Bavaria, was successfully completed. Two wells, reaching depths of 3,700m and 4,200m, were drilled in under six months using a Herrenknecht Vertical deep drilling rig. The water extracted from the ground at a temperature of over 100 degrees Celsius can be used to generate district heating in a geothermal plant with a thermal output of around 30 MW. The district heating is used to heat the greenhouses of the regional vegetable and fruit grower Reichenspurner Hof, which has a production area of over 360,000 m², and the municipality of Polling. In addition, some of the sustainably generated energy will also be used to supply the planned district heating networks in Mühldorf am Inn and Tüßling. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ed-Cwq2R
