Robbins was the principal supplier of TBM technology for this project. They developed a new, hybrid-type machine concept to successfully manage the 10-bar water pressure anticipated in the worst sections of the tunnel. The project had been a dream for over 100 years, and was finally accomplished through a close collaboration between equipment manufacturers and the international consortium of contractors.
