The assembly of the first Variable Density Tunnel Boring
Machine (VD TBM) took place at the Cochrane Launch
Shaft, located near S.M.K. Convent Jalan Peel in Kuala
Lumpur. Due to the immense weight of the machine, the
70-tonne cutterhead was lowered carefully with a crane
at a speed of one meter in every two minutes. The entire
process of lowering the cutterhead, front and middle
shields of the VD TBM took approximately three working
days.
