With an outer diameter of 14.20 metres, the TRUDE shield boring machine, an acronym for Tief Runter unter Die Elbe, was the largest tunnel boring machine in the world at the time. Between October 1997 and March 2000, a 2560-metre-long fourth tube was drilled under the Elbe riverbed using the shield tunnelling method for the extension of the new Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg. The tunnel boring machine, weighing over 2000 tons, removed about 400,000 cubic meters of sand, debris and stones at an average speed of 6 meters per day.
