AmcoGiffen to pioneer robot-constructed tunnels in rail sector

Contractor AmcoGiffen has signed an exclusive use deal to use an innovative robot-construction tunnel method in the rails sector.
HyperTunnel technology employs an automated construction method that builds tunnels more than 10 times faster and at half the cost of conventional techniques.
Using swarm construction methods according to a digital twin of the tunnel, a fleet of ‘hyperBot’ robots entered the ground via an arch of plastic pipes.Once inside, the robots 3D-print the tunnel s
