E.h. Martin Herrenknecht, founder and CEO of Herrenknecht AG, said: "Continuous tunnelling is the next significant innovation step in mechanised tunnelling.
Herrenknecht AG starts bauma 2022 by receiving the bauma Innovation Award 2022 in the category ‘Machine Technology’ for the new development of continuous tunnelling. The award was given for the next innovation boost in the mechanised production of high-performance tunnel infrastructures in all common soft ground constellations (soft ground formations with and without water-bearing layers). Continuous tunnelling, equipped with the latest high-technology, leads to a significant reduction in construction times for longer tunnel sections. This new development is being used in a high-impact mobility project in Europe.
