Progress builds at Thessaloniki

摘要

The first of two TBMs on the Thessaloniki metro project in Greece has holed through at a fully excavated station. Progress is accelerating significantly following earlier delays due to diaphragm wall complications at some part-opened stations and difficulties passing below old buildings. The 6.12m diameter EPBM on the south tube holed through at Sintrivani station early this month, approximately 3km - almost half way into its 7km long drive. By the end of October the TBM on the north tube had excavated approximately 1,700m.
