The large-scale sewerage project is helping the growing metropolis move towards a bright
future using high-tech made by Herrenknecht. As the first EPB Shield ever used in Panama,
Gloria’s (Ø 3,000mm) tunnelling performance achieved peak rates of up to 146 lining segments
per week. The drilling procedure directly below Panama City’s streets with an unusually extreme
90-degree bend at a depth of up to 25 meters is attracting a great deal of attention
in the media. This is how Gloria has been doing credit to its name since the beginning of the
tunnel work on the sewage collector – especially since its first breakthrough on May 31, 2012.
