7.1 Manufacturing and assembly time
The time required for design, manufacture, assembly and factory installation is generally around 12 to 14 months.
The time required for dismantling and on-site transport depends on the distance over which the TBM has to be transported. Generally speaking, it takes from 1 to 3 months.
