Swissloop Tunneling: Revolutionising the industry

Swissloop Tunneling is a student-led association based at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich conducting research on tunnelling solutions. During the finals of the Not-a-Boring-Competition in September 2021, Swissloop Tunneling won the Innovation & Design Award and placed second in the overall challenge. In this presentation we will explain the concept and functionality of our tunnel boring machine and highlight why Groundhog Alpha is so unique. Furthermore, we will illustrate what our technology means for the future.
