What can be the technical reason that it's starting from 6ft and will up to 35 ft.Kaustubh KatdareShe'll operate under the crew from Washington State Department Of Transportation, pushing forward slowly at about 6 ft per day. Once she's beneath downtown, it will increase the speed to about 35 ft per day.

lots of TNT 😘Kaustubh KatdareBut 6ft/day or even 35ft/day is still way too slow IMHO. We need something like 1 km/day! FTW! CEans, let's make it happen one day 😁

Well the upper layers are not hard rock in my opinion and the downtown area the stress on the lower soil levels are comparatively lesser than that in proper towncrazyboyWhat can be the technical reason that it's starting from 6ft and will up to 35 ft.
Is there any technical reason or its mere precaution as the machine being used for the first time.
meanwhile, any clue what is the best it can do in a day?

ashIf I read correctly from their site, the slow start is for the machine to "train" and for engineers to check its performance. Once its all good, they will ramp up the speed.
