Prufrock builds tunnel rings fully autonomously. Six concrete segments (~3,750 lb each), are lifted, translated and placed into final position. That's the weight of a Tesla Model 3, placed with millimeter precision in < 1 minute, monitored remotely from the Global OCC in Texas.

See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time. The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center. These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.

Big tunneling milestone! For the first time, TBC has continuously mined in a Zero-People-in-Tunnel (ZPIT) configuration. There is nobody in the machine (besides the videographer), which is simultaneously advancing forward and erecting a ring (i.e. building the tunnel). Each full ring weighs ~24,000 pounds. In the same way that full and rapid reusability is the holy grail for rockets, ZPIT continuous mining is the holy grail for Boring Machines. This is the safest, fastest, and least expensive architecture to build tunnels.
