Five years ago, the final shaft depth was reached at the Woodsmith Mine project, UK , with a #Herrenknecht VSM (Ø9.85m). The machine reached 115.2m and established a world record. This is the deepest shaft ever drilled underwater with a VSM. This experience has significantly boosted the development of our technology for deeper shafts. In total to date, 111 shafts have been sunk worldwide in 14 countries across four continents, covering a total of 5.580 linear shaft meters built, with the largest diameter being 12.9 m. This year, VSM is turning 20, so stay tuned on this channel to discover more projects! https://lnkd.in/d5kJwXi #pioneeringundergroundtogether

Congrats to HK and team
Well done everyone!
