Gigantic Tunnel Drilling Machines | Men and Machines | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

In this episode we visit the construction site of the Albvorlandtunnel between Stuttgart and Um in Germany, where two huge Herrenknecht tunnel drilling machines from Schwanau in Baden-Württemberg are used. They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such mega-aggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is world-famous. Men & Machines shows why. Enjoy peeps! It’s Friday!

I was surprised by this documentary. It was very interesting. Not Boring at all.

[@raymondwood1453]

BUT IT WAS BORING HA HA HA

[@cpcattin]

I appreciate you explaining (comparing) the weight of the largest ring segments in African elephants. I would be interested in how many olympic swimming pools could be filled with the mine tailings. Ah….the weight of the cutter head is comparable to two and one half diesel locomotives. Another documentary compared their subject to the weight of giraffes. All in, miners are a special and unique culture and society. They make modern life better. Keep our miners safe. 😏😏😏😏

[@fuckednegativemind]

It's pretty clear you're not an engineer, those are the official international units. I know what I'm talking about, I worked on Ariane 5 which weight as much as 111 african elephants and have the power of 23671 beavers during their reproducting period (but only from the 3rd of january to the 7th of february).

The forging company I worked for used to forge the cutter wheels for these boring machines.

[@forcesightknight]

How many companies produced them, how many would your company create, about how long would they last? These fascinate me, I think there are more in operation than just this one. Most likely there are several of them creating DUMBs and connecting them.

[@steveparker8723]

@@forcesightknight there have been many tunneling projects around the world. Flood water control, sewage and transportation. Several companies have built these machines. I'm not sure how long the cutters last. Probably based on hours or cubic feet of a given material being tunneled into. We made tens of thousands of them for a time.

Is there ever any copper, gold or any other valuable resources retrieved from the dirt they are boring through?

[@seangooley8696]

Won't the finished tunnel look different with the 2 sides meeting in the middle, first the TBM, which lays concrete rings and second the people using standard tunneling machines that spray concrete around the tunnel walls, floor and roof. They don't lay concrete rings, so I'm thinking that it will look different in the 2 sections that meet in the middle.

One thing I feel is strange is in america we were never introduced to boreing machines like Europe or Asia however they did use some in the 80s and early 90s to build a few tunnels under the Elizabeth River here...and 70s chesapeake bay bridge tunnel....and people assumed it was just new tech just been nvented how ever there has been these boreing machines almost exactly built now as the day they were created or manufactured back in the early 16 17 century minus a few obvious modern changes . And word in the community of Russian or South America is there have been nuclear borers esp tested at Los alamos nuclear site. This was way back in the late 1800s 1900s and it is bot a secrete except it's not talked about period here in the United States. Its almost 2 the point of conspiracy theory but as I said before it can't because boreing machines have been running like 1 full century ago. One thing humans are really ballin at and have been for some time is mechanically moving and excavating large amount

[@boone7777777777]

You guys really need to encourage your interview subjects to speak in their native language and then subtitle later. There is nothing more frustrating to watch and halting than someone trying to speak another language like English and do a poor job of explaining their job, it makes them look incompetent which they obviously are not.

[@manawa3832]

A machine that spins a head and digs through mostly soft dirt. Not even rock. Doesn't even have precision constraints like leveling the head perfectly because the tunnel is built right behind it and the head is kept upright through it's attachment. Yet despite the simplicity, it has 90,000 parts. Requires 1000 specialists with ultra-rare domain knowledge to build. And has a million and one ways to fail during operation. These machines are testaments to the over-engineering, and monumental stupidity of modern day engineers that make everything so much more complicated than it needs to be. I have worked on the most complicated machines in the world. Telecommunication L5 switches. The things I saw engineers justify.. I took a 10 million line code (I kid you not) piece of software and rewrote it with my team down to less than 20,000 lines. It ran faster, worked better, had fewer failures and was completely immune to cosmic rays showering our machines and flipping cpu instructions (this actually happens). Because that's how simple the problems actually were.
