For tunnel construction projects, Strabag relies on machines from Progress Maschinen & Automation. For a project in North Yorkshire, Strabag built a precast plant on the construction site and ordered, among other things, an M-System BlueMesh® welding plant with mesh rolls, a Tunnel Master ladder welding machine, and an EBA S16 automatic stirrup bender.

Strabag secures contract for planning and execution of 37 km-long tunnel including the transport system.
In the north-east of England, in the middle of the North York Moors National Park, a 37 km-long transport tunnel system is being created. The Strabag North Yorkshire Polyhalite Project is part of the Woodsmith Project, owned by Anglo American, one of the world’s largest mining companies. This is to extract minerals from the world’s largest polyhalite deposit, a mineral used in the production of fertilizers. Of the 2.66 billion tons of polyhalite deposits, 280 million tons are located within 5 km of the proposed mine. This represents only 7% of the project’s stated resource area.
