Suez Canal underground tunnels digging to start in June

The actual dredging of underground tunnels at the Suez Canal will start in early June 2016 and to be completed in 18 months. The dredger was exclusively manufactured for the Egyptian tunnels with special specifications and diameters (inner diameter 11.4 meters and external 12.6 meters). At present, 94 welders are working at the site but 94 more are needed. Four giant dredgers will dig four large tunnels under the Suez Canal at the same time.
