MEGA TUNNEL MACHINES - Drilling, Digging & Blasting | Full Documentary

The tunnel builders are in constant use for the major construction projects “Stuttgart 21” and “Wendlingen-Ulm”. Numerous rail tunnels are being built in Baden-Württemberg, including three of the longest in Germany.
One of them is the twin-tube Albvorland tunnel in Kirchheim unter Teck with a length of 8,176 meters. Before the first meters can be excavated with a tunnel boring machine right next to the A8 motorway, the workers have to load the two most important components. The two cutting wheels, which are later to remove the earth with 140 paring knives, weigh 200 tons each. The final work before the spectacular loading by a huge crawler crane starts with great anticipation. “That sets a real milestone,” says Michael Frahm, the head of the tunnel construction team. “We now have a year and a half of preparation behind us. And when the cutting wheels finally glide across the construction site through the air, it not only looks impressive, but also means for us that all the work has been worth it."
But suddenly a problem. The crane cannot lift a cutting wheel. And suddenly everything is on the brink. The technical manager of tunneling Jens Classen knows: “We now have to find the fault quickly and otherwise improvise if necessary, as is unfortunately sometimes necessary in tunneling. It's about many thousands of euros a day. "
The race against time has begun.
In 24 hour shifts, three tunnels are being built in parallel in different directions on the so-called intermediate attack in Stuttgart Wangen. Mostly in blasting with 50 large machines from wheel loaders to drill trucks and lots of explosives. Since the workers are here directly under the city, vibrations on the surface must be avoided.
"Well, it shakes a bit," grins Austrian site manager Georg Hofer. “But we have already gained experience here and we know the rock very well. Nevertheless, every blast is something special and explosives are generally dangerous. We cannot allow ourselves to lose concentration! "
There is a complete ban on blasting between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Then the team makes do with a mighty chisel that tears out the solid mudstone and slowly creates the tunnel tubes.
Driving with huge machines at the end of the tunnel. Drill. Bust. Blast.

The Diarrhea Brained Stupidity has gotten out of hand, has it Not?! THE NUCLEAR TUNNEL BORING MACHINE! How Can Everyone Not See Straight Through All of This Deceptive BS?! At least look at the three patents of the 70's and fully understand and comprehend how ALL of These Underground Tunnels of D.U.M.B.S. (Deep Underwater/Underground Military Base System) are Created that Connects ALL of These Underground Cities Together in Preparation for The Impact of Earth's Moon Creating; The Worldwide Flood, The New Moon that is Planet Earth's Lavaic Core Pushed Out of Mariana's Trench Up to a New Olyptical Angle of Decent That Shall Rule Planet Earth's Polar Axis like an Iron Rod, a New Ice Age as all of the Water called back down from above Earth's Expanse's Force Field from Earth's Core's Ejection, and the Creation of Earth's New Tectonic Plate or New Heaven's On Earth! TREASON, TREASON, TREASON! You Know Everyone is Awakening to The Deception Created By ALL of These Fallen Abominations in Government Corporate and Religious Control that Are Deceiving ALL of the General Population on Earth Through The Factual Evidence Being Shown in the Article lll Section 3 High Treason Case Against ALL of the General Population of the United States of America Filed On President Donald John Trump Sr and ALL Following Pope Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Third Temple's One World Genocide Peace Plan Order!

Facinated much of all the machineries and the entire machines. People's talent and progress too good.. I liked it much thank you in sharing your actual video and assembled and the works.. I learnt much..

[@BaldHeadedManc]

That's because they take their time and stretch it out to receive more money.. if there isn't much other work around/funded then they bullshit. How many times do you see construction on a highway, and it's 7 guys standing there with their hands in their asses while one guy actually works. Seen it in every city I've lived in. It's a joke.

Turn the crane completely off for a full 3 seconds. Turn it back on, in about 5 minutes it will work. It's an old American trick.
