The LHC has lower pressure than Hyperloop is supposed to have (1E-7 pascal, reading http://www.lhc-closer.es/taking_a_closer_look_at_lhc/0.high_... versus 100 pascal, reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperloop#Theory_and_operati...)

Still quite challenging, but not in the same league, even considering that hyperloop requires way longer tunnels.

The forces aren't much different, even if the allowable leakage is higher and the pumping easier.
