DR. SAUER & PARTNERS ZHEN NG AND BIGGUS TEAM SHORTLISTED IN ELON MUSK'S NOT-A-BORING COMPETITION

Monday, February 15th, 2021

Congratulations to Dr. Sauer & Partner’s Support Tunnel Engineer, Zhen Ng and the rest of the Biggus team in making the final twelve in Elon Musk’s Boring Company's ‘Not-A-Boring Competition’. 

The Biggus team was founded in 2020 to deliver tunnelling research and development and recently entered the competition which challenges teams to come up with tunnelling solutions and answer the question, “Can you beat the snail?”. 

Through the competition, The Boring Company is gauging interest from teams around the world to design, build, and race their own tunnelling solution at The Boring Company’s first Dig-a-Factory scheduled for the summer this year. More than 400 teams entered and the final twelve will compete to bore a 30-metre tunnel with a cross-sectional area of 0.2 square meters (equivalent to a circle with a 0.5-meter diameter).

Congrats to Zhen and the rest of the Biggus team, and good luck for ‘race day’!
