Mike Baier(@Mike__Baier):If you’re inside Prufrock while it’s mining, you never really see dirt. The only dirt is on the conveyor over your head. In front of you: the stationary shell (pictured below). Behind you: a finished tunnel. There’s a watertight seal between the inside of the TBM and the outside world. Without it, tunneling under the water table wouldn’t be possible.
