Hi all at drb. You have all put together one of the BEST Websites EVER. Just a note to say how much i enjoy your site. Thank You
regards,
when these types of machines were reported on 'alternative news' websites (read: conspiracy theory) decades ago, the posters were called nuts, tin hat wearing conspiracy theorists.
i guess you're one as well, even though you have pictures :)
19m diameter... that is insane
I was totally unprepared for that. This type of stuff is truly hard-core engineering (no pun intended, but I'll enjoy the serendipity of it)
I can barely even fathom what the project management is like for the design and development of those (both TBMs and tunnel systems alike.) One minor error could be hugely compounded. Remarkable, great post!
Hi there. I've been a huge fan of DRB for years now, and it's this kind of post that I love. Fantastic, imagination-catching stuff. Wow, can you imagine the consequences of forgetting to carry the 1 on an alignment equation??
"when these types of machines were reported on 'alternative news' websites (read: conspiracy theory) decades ago..."
Huh? Which sites were you on in the 70s and 80s?

LOL, nice catch!
OT: Love the post. Incredible machines!
Look here for a view of what looks to be an endpoint for the Little Skull Mountain tunnel.
The internet (combining various maps and commentaries) suggests that the area in question is Nevada Test Site Area 25, and given the fact that that's a tunnel, the best guess is it is or was used for underground depleted uranium testing (of projectiles or armor or both).
To all the fans - thank you! your good words keep us going.
thank you for all. great site!!:)
Thank you for the great post.
Strabag AG is not the type of the machine but the construction company which owns it (www.strabag.com)
But anyhow nice article.
Everytime I see such machines, my first thought is: Wow, as long as Germany is still able to build so magnificent machinery, my country still isn't doomed completely. ;)
