Prufrock-1 and Prufrock-2 arrived at the Westgate and Encore Resorts! The Encore project (Prufrock-2) took approximately 10 weeks with the starting point of arriving at an empty parking lot, mobilization, launch, tunneling 2,350 feet, and retrieval. This is a good step towards building infrastructure projects in a matter of weeks versus years.
weeks vs years? for a 2350 ft long tunnel? lets do the math. Supposing your machine is setup in such a way you only need a week for assembly and one more for disassembly, we are left with 8 weeks. Lets imagine you worked 5,5 days per week... So 53,4 ft per day is barely less than an average advance rate for this kind of machines. Please don't get me wrong: Tunnelling is always a challenge, and such, breakthrough is ALWAYS a great achievemet. Lets just call things by their real names instead of being flamboyant to capture the attention of readers unfamiliar with the tunneling industry.
Hey there, that's awesome news! Prufrock-1 and Prufrock-2 have landed at the Westgate and Encore Resorts! 🎉 It's incredible to see how quickly the Encore project (Prufrock-2) came together, taking just 10 weeks from an empty parking lot to tunneling 2,350 feet and completing retrieval. Talk about efficiency! This progress marks a significant leap towards constructing infrastructure projects in a matter of weeks instead of years. 🚧💨 It's exciting to witness such advancements that are revolutionizing the way we build and create. Kudos to the team behind this impressive feat! Keep up the fantastic work! 👏👷♂️👷♀️
Hey Elon try to link Africa to Europe from Morocco to Spain with your Hyperloop before the 2030 Fifa World Cup. I am sure you can make it !!!!!
Weeks versus years. Only in Vegas. Love it.
Love watching the progression of this company and Hyperloop technology.
i am ready to serve for humanity and future of sustainble earth
Interesting take on the method developed 20 years ago in Japan….
Always rooting for you.
Let's create an amazing world for future generations.
6moThis technology has so many other possible uses! @The Boring Company You could be using tunnels as farms to provide areas to grow food where surface temperatures are too high or too low for food production. You could create large scale self sufficient fallout shelters for thousands to survive whichever of our mistakes cause the next mass extinction. You could create large scale energy storage projects that last hundreds of years and provide the energy storage we need to make renewable energy a viable option. All these things could change the world for thousands, if not millions of people. All that before you consider what a godsend your technology would be for people trying to build a colony on the Moon or further afield on Mars. I really hope you can improve the already amazing technology and look at its true potential which is much more than a quicker way to get from A to B in large cities. I wish I had the chance to apply this technology to other fields where it could make a real difference. Where it could out perform Tesla financially too!
