The TBM S-127 Socatop was built to bore the A86 motorway tunnel in Paris. The project was split up into two sections, VL 1 and VL 2, each approx. 5 km long. The TBM used was an adjustable mixshield enabling changeovers between bentonite (slurry), EPB or semi-open mode, depending on the geology the machine could be easily converted from EPB to slurry mode and vice versa within two days.
