The 5.7 km long tunnel from Münster to Wiesing was broken through into the neighbouring Tiergarten tunnel at the start of February 2009 after only 585 days of advance. This means that the TBM has arrived in Wiesing about six months earlier than expected. The subject of predicting TBM performance, which is so important for the economics of mechanical tunnelling, is the main theme of this issue.
