Penn Hyperloop is proud to announce we placed 2nd overall at the 2026 Not-A-Boring Competition! Despite severe flooding and extreme site conditions, our team successfully excavated more than twice the distance of the 3rd place competitor.

Is this the machine that finally beats The Boring Company?
READINESS ACHIEVED: The TBM is approved and locked in the launch pit! Our team finalized the complete electrical, mechanical, and mechanical integration.
We are sitting ready in the hole to dig.
The secret to a faster tunnel? High-grade steel.
A massive thank you to @JDFieldsinc for providing the steel pipes for our TBM. Their support has been a game changer for our build as we take on the "Not-A-Boring Competition" this week.

Huge thanks to the @MackInstitute for Innovation Management at @Wharton for sponsoring Penn Hyperloop. Their support was key in securing critical parts for our TBM as we compete in @boringcompany's competition this week.
We are thrilled to spotlight our partner, North Shore Safety (NSS), for their critical support as we head into the competition!
Safety and reliability are the backbone of our TBM, and the PGFI-5545N unit from NSS is a key component of our high-voltage power distribution system.
