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!
Is there peanut butter in your computer keys? Reminds me of talladega nights trying to read these names in English. Let alone American English 😆 Edit: if the talladega nights comment doesn't make sense, watch the movie named the same to understand. Don't just clap back
Crazy how huge these things are. They're not just machines, but self sufficient drilling/boring facilities with control rooms, bathrooms, breakrooms and emergency chambers.
This is absolutely. Mindblowing. And the fact that weve been doing this since the 1800s. God bless engineers and calculus and ingenuity and human creativity like wow. Like a metal creature. And they pull it apart and rebuild it every time?? cant believe this is somebody's day job. I am so lucky to be alive
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. 😏😏😏😏
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).
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.
@@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.
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.
Yes, they really wanted to highlight the few ladies working in construction. Sadly not everyone can be an inspector/ supervisor, someone has to actually do the job.
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.
watching this video made me feel how Metro Manila Subway's tunnel construction will work in our country, it will use the same method as Germany, and in My Opinion, I will Name these TBMs of Metro Manila Subway as: TBM 1: Named Kaunlaran TBM 2: Named Kalayaan TBM 3: Named Pagasa TBM 4: Named Pag-ahon TBM 5: Named Katipunan TBM 6: Named Kapayapaan and for TBMs 7-25, I Will name them after a K-Pop Idol Name or Group, for Example The TBM 8 digging it from North avenue to Quezon Avenue will be named as TBM BTS, while TBM 9 will be Named as TBM Jisoo (named after Jisoo of BLACKPINK)
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
how does the machine make communications better? There will be earthquakes in one place after another and the abled man will say, mountains come down over us.
Omg conversations and conversations and lot of meetings and technical talks a lot of but nothing of working of tunneling machine, all this vlog is nothing but a nonsense.
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.

Mrs Scarlett is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Scarlett thought I' m the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
She's really amazing with her skills. She changed my 0.5btc to 2.1btc
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Scarlett
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
I also trade with her, and earn $2,600 every week. All my family have been trading with her and making profits

Watching from Dubai
That is one clean concrete company.
That's some big machinery.
if only we had the marti narrator
Those are some impressive machines. That must be cool working on building that tunnel. Sara has lovely eyes.
Agreed. Would be a very interesting job.
Good content. Hope to see some more videos on this topics soon. Good work team. Cheers !!!!
Amazing video from Kenya
Amazing video ❤️ love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
damn this whole tunneling thing is very spiritual!
thanks for sharing
Thank you for this informative documantry vedio.
OOH SUPER DRILL
"4 of them are women" 1:37 nice video editing
This machine is huge its fascinating and interesting for me
Amazing but simple basic !!!
c'mon, its rocket science for that woman.. lol
Just learned I wanna drive tunnels :D
This may be sexist, but the women seem to do all the talking but the men do the work !
Amazing
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Great video
i love TBM
Thanks for knowledge....
Nice ✨
Love you bro
The forging company I worked for used to forge the cutter wheels for these boring machines.
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 I would also harbor a guessThat’s the type of material you are totally into also matters
@@two-face1041 Material type would certainly make a difference in cutter life.
14:40 that view though
Are the workers now 4 out of 6 too? Seeing this a lot.
Great for german transport system (DB) to cut journey time
Everyone thinks USA is the best with industrialization, Automation but UK are the best making machines.
What UK ??? This Germany technology. Only Japan, Swiss can compete with German technology.
Wow 🤩
🤔🤩🤓
Surprised.
Beleza muito bom 👍👍🇧🇷
They are called TBM for Tunnel Boring Machine. Not a Drill
the tumbnail looked like legos
42:00 All of those radio controlled crane operators seem like something that could be easily automated. 😆 (With some computer vision.)
Sarah Gitzen gained a ton of weight at 14:21 😂
Is there ever any copper, gold or any other valuable resources retrieved from the dirt they are boring through?
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.
Wow you found the first all female tbm company

Tremendous amounts of CO2 being produced on this project, better hurry with the EV's!
Lolz, why worry about it? Everytime a volcano burps it putts out more CO2 than all of humanity in a year.
