    Lise-Enjalbert, which began its 4.2 km excavation from the Ponts-Jumeaux station towards the Puits Laporte, is set to reach its next stop, the future Sept Deniers – Stade Toulousain station, this summer.

    To adapt to the geometry of its initial structure, Lise-Enjalbert, like the first two machines, Jeanne-Marvig and Berthe-de-Puybusque, started excavation in partial operational mode.

    The full assembly of the machine and its five trailers (115 meters in total) will be carried out progressively as the tunnel boring machine advances, allowing it to reach its full operational capacity.

    The project has now all three tunnel boring machines in operation!
