REM - Prolongement vers la gare de VIA à Dorval (Antenne de l'Aéroport)

Le shield du tunnelier a fini englouti dans un bloc de béton, il va plus jamais creuser. Le reste a été démonté iirc.

That’s pretty much how it goes for just about all tunneling machines out there. They are one use machine purpose built for a single job. Fortunately, they aren’t all that expensive when you consider just how costly transit projects are. To be had, I do beleive that the existing tunnel is in good hard rock under the airport parking, so the rest of the tunnel can probably be dug safely with mechanical excavation.

I was in a rush so I wasn’t able to get pictures from a good angle, but the setup looked very similar to this:
