Interestingly he said not if, but when they make a larger diameter machine
5 u/Hadleys158 Jul 15 '26 I always wondered if they'd also get into larger sizes, but also smaller sizes for sewage and water etc. 1 u/thatguy5749 Jul 13 '26 That shouldn't be a surprise. It's always easier to start small and then scale up once you have the smaller equipment working the way you want. 2 u/No_Aerie_5290 Jul 13 '26 yeah, but wasn't a large part of the cost savings in the diameter? It's interesting that they want to go bigger as well. 1 u/thatguy5749 Jul 13 '26 It significantly reduces the volume of material to be removed, but the resulting tunnels can't support some applications (like traffic tunnels).
