Meet the Operations Team in the Global Ops Center in Bastrop, TX! Today, the team is remotely controlling machines in Vegas (tunneling), Nashville (tunneling), and San Antonio (commissioning; not yet tunneling).

Using TBC tunnels to transport freight. The latest Prufrock Liner Truck (using Tesla Model 3 batteries and drive units) has been modified to carry a standard 20’ shipping container. Fits like a glove!

TBC hosted the Las Vegas Metro Police SWAT teams, training/drilling with their advanced capabilities/equipment throughout the @vegasloop system. Thank you to LVMPD SWAT for being great partners and keeping our local community safe!

@boringcompany's Prufrock-5 is arriving today at Morgan’s Inclusion Campus!💜 We are excited to be collaborating on this initiative. Work on the project is expected to begin following final permitting approvals.

Prufrock-5 arrives at Morgan’s Inclusion Campus in San Antonio! The 900,000 lb TBM will construct a 0.8-mile tunnel to provide safe, weatherproof and convenient transportation for people of all abilities to move throughout the campus. Work is expected to begin following final permit approvals.

The Boring Factory floor is a great classroom! The @uaustinorg Applied Engineering class, taught by TBC engineers, currently has students competing in teams to design and build rovers to tackle an obstacle course.

Vegas Loop isn’t just tunnels! In Vegas, besides 14 tunnels, TBC has built 14 stations (28 by end of year), 12 emergency egresses, 6 cross-passages, and 9 "knockout shafts". See below for the construction of a cross-passage connecting "Tunnel-1" and "Tunnel-2" (beneath Paradise Road) to provide access and egress; construction time is ~10 days. Steps: 1. If necessary, treat the ground (typically with grout) between the two tunnels such that it is stable during excavation. 2. Brace the Tunnel-1 wall with a steel frame and open up the concrete Tunnel-1 wall within said frame. 3. Excavate the dirt between the tunnels, installing steel ribs and wood lagging to maintain a safe roof until Tunnel-2 is exposed. This is a slow process of 10 feet per day. 4. Install waterproofing and rebar, the latter which anchors into both Tunnels 1 and 2 (see pic) 5. Install solid steel liner plate (see pic) 6. Pour high-strength concrete around the liner plate, reinforced with the rebar from Step 4 7. Open up Tunnel-2, finalizing the connection Finally, the cross-passage is built out with a walking surface, ventilation, fire suppression valves, fire-rated doors, safety equipment/sensors, lighting, and cameras.

These 2 holes in the ground at Westgate are about to become the fastest way to get to the airport. Once they open, you skip Paradise Road traffic, taxi driver bullshit, and waiting outside in the rideshare line in 115°F heat. Westgate says the trip will take about 3 minutes.

TBC would be excited and honored to build this massive infrastructure project. Because Loop/Hyperloop is express (i.e. no intermediate stops), one could travel from an Austin parking lot to a favorite San Antonio restaurant in ~30 min. As long as they both have Loop stations!

Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph). Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

Vegas Loop is getting bigger - the station count will double by end of year! Urgently hiring exceptional and enthusiastic Drivers and Ops Managers. Apply here! Driver Senior Loop Ops Manager

Thanks to the @USArmyReserve soldiers from Branch 1 in Nashville for taking the time to tour the Prufrock-MB1 and Prufrock-MB2 tunneling site. Also loved your appreciation of our “topologically impossible” TBC Mugs!

Privileged to be a major investor in @boringcompany Series D and to have helped scale the team for 5 years. Vegas Loop proved what’s possible. With the $3B raise, TBC is expanding to many more cities in the US and abroad. This is a rare moment to join the team and help bring Loop to the next 100 cities. We are inviting a select group of exceptional engineers and operators to an all expenses paid, behind the scenes tour of the Vegas Loop on Sunday, Oct 18. Years of experience is not a filter. New grads and dropouts should apply. Apply by Oct 1
