Quote:Another one: Gegenortvortrieb ...Hmmm ... I'm not aware that we have an equivalent in English. (Unless there's an expert from the mining industry in the house.)
So, what is the real technical term in English?
We'd probably have to describe the process, rather than naming it. That's the benefit of a language like German!
"Tunnelling from opposite ends" may be as close as you can get. Sorry. :oops:
