Also any acoustical noise the vehicles might generate would be contained and isolated
in such a system.Pursuing the pipeline concept further reveals other potential
advantages. Every generation of builders flatters itself by believing that its major
works will be useful forever, and they build that way. The consequences are all too
familiar. But a pipeline system really does have multipurpose possibilities.

1. Difference between Loop and Hyperloop

Hyperloop is an ultra high-speed underground public transportation system in which

passengers are transported on autonomous electric pods traveling at 600+ miles per
hour in a pressurized cabin. Similar
1) Noise and Vibrations. Once a tunnel boring machine is below a certain depth
(approximately two tunnel diameters – or 28 feet in this case), the tunneling
process is almost impossible to detect, especially in soft soil. The tunnel
operation is inaudible, and there is typically more surface vibration felt from a
pedestrian walking nearby than from the TBM operating 30+ feet below.

1) Inside of the Loop

See graphic below. The Loop has concrete horizontal and vertical “shelves” to
accommodate the vehicles’ tires and horizontal alignment wheels. There is a steel
grating in the center, which primarily serves as a walkway for maintenance and
emergency exit scenarios.
