See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time. The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center. These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.

Construction productivity has declined while the rest of the economy has gotten so much better. Why? Primarily red tape and regulations, but also being left out of the massive innovations in software, robotics, and computing over the years. goldmansachs.com/insights/artic…

The long journey of rock in Nashville

The view of the rock directly in front of Prufrock-MB1 in Nashville. This shot is only possible when Prufrock-MB1 “shifts into reverse” and backs up from the rock face, allowing detailed inspection of the cutterhead.

Transporting Prufrock-2 across Las Vegas! This TBM section weighs ~465,000 lb and The Monster (beneath the TBM) weighs ~140,000 lb. Prufrock-2 will next re-launch directly off The Monster to build its 5th tunnel.

TBC is excited to announce the first residential Music City Loop station agreement, serving those living at the beautiful Prime, Alcove, and Paramount towers in downtown Nashville. Residents will take an elevator directly to a Loop station within the building, board a Tesla, and be at the airport in ~9 minutes or Lower Broadway in ~2 minutes.

Construction mobilization for Dubai Loop! Step 1 is activating precast concrete segment production.

Prufrock-MB2 has arrived in Nashville

Tunneling on a Sunday in Nashville. Great team. Great rock.

Tunnel Vision Challenge results! We've been overwhelmed with the amazing submissions…so we are announcing three winners! The Thrilling Three are: - NOLA Loop (New Orleans, LA) - Ravens Loop (Baltimore, MD) - University Hills Loop (Dallas, TX) What happens next? TBC and the project stakeholders enter into a rigorous diligence process which includes: - Meetings with elected officials, regulators, community leaders, and business leaders - Geotechnical borings - Utility and subsurface infra investigation Once the diligence (100% funded by TBC) is complete, if all 3 projects are feasible, will fund/build all 3 - this would be awesome. If only 1 is feasible, will fund/build 1. IN ADDITION, there were multiple other projects that TBC thought were so compelling that we are going to continue to work with the entrants and try to get them built. This includes the following two: - Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN) - Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX) Thanks again to all of the participants - your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team.

Prufrock-2 has emerged! Fun facts: - 2.28 miles long - Longest single Vegas Loop tunnel drive (previous TBC record was 2.26) - 4th tunnel at @WestgateVegas - ~68k cubic yards of dirt moved - ~4.8 miles of continuous conveyor belt driven w 6 motors totaling 825 hp

Vegas Loop safely moved ~82,000 passengers at the amazing @CONEXPOCONAGG construction trade show. @LVCC

Congrats to the Tunnel Vision Challenge Finalists! We received 487 entries and are down to the final 16. We'll announce the winner on March 23, and then build it free of charge. Thank you to all the applicants!

@Dustin_Hillis_ Innovation has always moved humanity forward and must continue to be embraced. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!”

I have lived in Nashville for 20 years and am beyond excited for Music City Loop. I’m shocked that certain Metro Council Members are attacking a private company who wants to invest in Nashville, and opposing a project which is: - 10 minutes from downtown to airport - All electric - Hundreds of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. Not just the tunnels - they are building 30+ stations - Safest public transportation system in the country - Is FREE - no taxpayer dollars Metro Council - you should be thanking @boringcompany for wanting to come to Nashville, not attacking them. @Angienashville @AllenBurkley @Oliviahill247 @Joyforjustice @Toombsfortwo @Jgamble4council @Cortese_4 @Seanforfive @Claycapp @HarrellforD8 @Votejfw @Jeff_eslick @Erinfor12 @Bradford4D13 @JordanHuffman @Ginnywelsch @Terryvofornash @Cashforcouncil @Jacobkupin4D19 @Hortonrollin @VoteBTaylor @Druffel_thom @Brenda4nash @JLPreptit @Votejohnston @Votebenton @Johnlrutherford @Stylesfor32 @JasonSpainTN

Tunneling in 3 states today - Nevada, Texas and Tennessee

I’m grateful for @myTDOT’s commitment to a forward-thinking, fiscally responsible approach to infrastructure modernization that will define the future of transportation in our state & beyond. Link: tn.gov/governor/news/…

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority has unanimously (7-0) approved a Music City Loop connection/station. Thanks so much to @Fly_Nashville for the great partnership.
