It consists of drill heads that cut through soil and stone. Behind this, auxiliary equipment can be found for removing the excavated material, as well as for securing and enlarging the tunnel.
The two tunnels for the U2 lines between the Matzleinsdorfer Platz and Lerchefelder Straße are being built using this method.
