One of the longest inclined shafts ever constructed with two shielded TBMs and innovative transport systems.
After a year of technical discussions with the best European competition, the two critical lots in this project were entrusted to SELI Overseas, as part of a joint venture with local partners.
For the excavation of the 2.5 km inclined tunnel, new technologies for transporting excavated material were developed and implemented.
