Weighing 130 tonnes, seven metres long and four metres in diameter - the huge boring head for the new supply tunnel at the Nossen Bridge in Dresden has arrived. A special experience for everyone involved today: two cranes from the specialist civil engineering company Eiffage lifted the colossus unerringly and with the utmost concentration into the 20 metre deep excavation pit next to the bridge. SachsenEnergie is building a new underground media tunnel at the Nossen Bridge, in which the district heating, electricity and telecommunications lines will run from autumn 2026, Dresden, Saxony, Germany
