STRABAG UK is working on behalf of Anglo American to construct the world’s longest conveyor tunnel for a permanent mineral transport system (MTS) which will transport tens of millions of tonnes of polyhalite from under the North York Moors National Park. The Polyhalite, a natural mineral, will then be crushed and granulated to create POLY4 – a multi-nutrient fertiliser which is suitable for organic use. The hard rock Herrenknecht AG TBM was launched in June 2019 to build the 37km tunnel with an internal diameter of 4.9m. The TBM was named Stella-Rose by a local primary school pupil. The previous TBM drive record was set by a water conveyance tunnel project in the Middle East which was also built using a Herrenknecht AG TBM. The completed Woodsmith tunnel will set a new world record, which STRABAG is expecting to be confirmed by Guinness World Records.

Unsere TBM Stella-Rose, die sich im Vereinigten Königreich durch den Untergrund gräbt, hat nun einen Weltrekord gebrochen! 🤩 Vor kurzem knackte Stella-Rose in der Woodsmith Mine im Nordosten Englands die 25,8-Kilometer-Marke - am Stück! Das hat bisher noch keine TBM geschafft! Damit ist sie Weltrekordhalterin für den längsten, durchgehenden Vortrieb einer einzelnen TBM. ✨ Seit viereinhalb Jahren bohrt sich die 1.775 t schwere Maschine durch den Untergrund. Auch das Woodsmith-Projekt selbst hat es in sich: Wir bauen hier mit 37 km den längsten Fördertunnel für ein natürliches Mineral, das z. B. als Dünger im ökologischen Landbau zum Einsatz kommt. Bis die Meisterleistung der TBM auch ins Guinness Buch der Rekorde aufgenommen wird, müssen wir uns noch gedulden. Erst 2026, wenn der Fördertunnel fertig ist, wollen wir uns gemeinsam mit unserem Auftraggeber Anglo American die dann endgültige Rekordmarke offiziell bestätigen lassen. . Stella-Rose and the world record 🏅 There is a long tradition in tunnelling of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) being given female names. Our TBM Stella-Rose, which is digging through the ground in the UK, has now broken a world record! 🤩 Stella-Rose recently broke the 25.8-kilometre mark at Woodsmith mine in the north-east of England - in one go! No TBM has ever achieved this before! This makes her the world record holder for the longest single TBM drive. ✨ The 1,775 tonne machine has been drilling its way through the ground for four and a half years. The Woodsmith project itself is also quite something: at 37 km, we are building the longest conveyor tunnel for a natural mineral that is used as a fertiliser in organic farming, for example. We will have to be patient until the TBM's feat is entered in the Guinness Book of Records. Only in 2026, when the conveyor tunnel is completed, do we want to have the final record officially confirmed together with our client Anglo American. .

I am Grateful for the invaluable insights gained and excited to apply this knowledge to ensure safety excellence in present and future projects. This experience has not only deepened my understanding but also reinforced my commitment to ensuring safety in every engineering endeavor 🌐. #healthandsafety #Engineering #ProfessionalDevelopment #Strabag #CivilEngineering #Britishtunnellingsociety #ICE Just finished the course “Construction Management: Safety and Health”! Power of TBMs for Efficient Sewerage and Pipeline Construction Think about the vast network of tunnels that lie beneath our feet, working silently yet indispensably for the comfort of our daily lives. From sewerage systems to gas and oil pipelines, these hidden heroes of infrastructure are often built using a mighty tool of the construction world - the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). TBMs bring a new level of precision, efficiency, and safety to pipeline construction. These mechanical marvels can bore through varied ground conditions, creating smooth, uniform tunnels with minimal surface disruption. Ideal for urban environments, TBMs reduce environmental impact while ensuring continued functionality for residents. Watch as TBMs facilitate construction of intricate pipelines, carving paths through the Earth, turning the challenging into achievable. 🎥 author unknown (let me know and I will put credit) 🌎 Do you like it? Follow me and Hit 🔔 Ring on my profile for more content about #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #ecology #construction #vinylsheetpiles #geosynthetics The UK’s largest underground mining project currently under construction is the UK - Anglo American Woodsmith Mine. The mineral that will be mined here is Polyhalite. It is a Sulphate mineral that is essentially plant food in rock form, as it contains 4 out of 6 key nutrients that all plants need to grow effectively (K2O, MgO, CaO, S). It was formed in the second evaporation phase (Z2) of the Zechstein Sea around 252 million years ago. The Polyhalite seam in North Yorkshire is unusual in the fact that it is the thickest known economic seam in the world (>50 m in places). The material will be mined using a combination of drill and blast as well as continuous mining machines (with Polyhalite of approx 3.5 hardness it is not necessarily hard, however will prove challenging to mine using a continuous miner). Where it will be then transported to Wilton, processed, and loaded onto awaiting cargo ships on the River Tees to be shipped worldwide. In order to help keep up with the soar in demand of an ever growing global population. Living and growing up less than 2 miles (as the crow flies) from the Woodsmith site is one of the aspects that sparked my interest in mining and lead me to pursue a degree at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter. #mining #fertiliser #minerals #northyorkshire #deep #mine #construction #europe I am happy to share that I have completed the Certification for Tunnelling Safety Training Scheme from CITB. 🎉😄 #citb #tunnelling #safety #training #scheme 25 Hacks to Win as a Young Construction Professional in 2023 This was included in last Saturday's Construction Curiosities Newsletter, but thought I'd include it here as well!  1.

To be on time is to be late. To be late is unacceptable."      16. Understand that Right, Wrong, or Indifferent. You will have to make a decision. Make it. Don't dwell.      17. You will make mistakes. No biggie. Just try not to make the same one twice.      18. Be respectful of everyone. Always. From the CEO to the Day Laborer picking up trash.      19. Be a contributing member of the team. Don't worry about who gets the credit.      20. Realize you will never "know it all." Even the 30+ years of experience guys learn something every day. Embrace it.      21. Get your boots muddy. Set aside time each day to walk the project and note progress on your plans.      22. It's 2023. The industry is still recovering from Covid and dealing with a looming recession. Work with understanding and empathy.      23. Expand your Network.
