Description

Why do engineers bury giant tunnel boring machines (TBMs) after just one project? 🚇 A TBM can only move forward. Once the tunnel is sealed with concrete, pulling the machine out would mean digging a huge rescue shaft, which can cost more than the machine itself. So crews salvage the valuable parts and leave the steel shell underground. Next time you ride the subway, remember what might be buried beneath you.
