The Hidden Costs of Going Underground The notion that "going underground" is a foolproof way to secure critical infrastructure has gained traction in recent years, especially following Russia's war with Ukraine.
Engineering firms like EarthGrid are developing technologies that can tunnel through even the hardest materials at unprecedented speeds, making it possible to bury power cables, data centers, and other sensitive equipment beneath our feet.
This trend is exemplified by EarthGrid's rock melting tunnel boring machine (TBR), which was recently tested in a California quarry.
