Eppenberg SBB Railway Tunnel - From installation to the breakthrough
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 02. 2020
- The Eppenberg is one of the traffic bottlenecks in the Swiss railway network. The consortium ARGE Marti Eppenberg, under the direction of Marti Tunnel, is building the approximately 2.6 km long #tunnel. For more than 2.5 years, Marti Solothurn and Marti Zürich have been working on the portal areas with extensive special civil engineering and concrete work. The efficient and powerful infrastructure of the installation sites is the central part for a successful realization. Additionally, the tunnel boring machine had to be rebuilt in the underground, it was converted to a so-called #hydroshield.

It's like watching National Geographic. Really high quality videos.
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝✌🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩💝✌🙏
National Geographic but railway edition
I would say higher
Dude this is the best stuff I’ve ever watched. Ming boggling sophistication, these guys deserve to be celebrities instead of the fools so many idolize for offering nothing to humanity 😊
Not sure what impresses me more - Marti's outstanding engineering and awesome videos or the awe inspiring way the Swiss government is investing in people by investing in public transportation. Good job all around!
I really wish the US government would go back to doing large public works projects with good planning and efficiency. Instead of trains and stuff we get the globally infamous Texas Katy Freeway...
Yeah.. Marti sure seems like standup guy. Engineering the whole of the project all by himself.
Rail tunnels are cheaper by orders of magnitude than car tunnels with equal capacities.
Building rails certainly counts as investing if the alternative is LA style congestion, or just letting the infrastructure rot. But if the goal is to improve car traffic, getting a couple of people in cars off the road and into trains, trams, and buses is the most frugal, cheapest possible way known to man to improve congestion on roads. Which is a good thing to be sure - only ideologues and corrupt oligarchs wouldn't build both public transport and roads as a combined solution for traffic.
@@petlahk4119 America is huge. Switzerland is tiny.
Not the same budget to maintain public transportation.
@@ADRIAN-zh4ti Yea America has a lot more budget, they could easily do it if the car industry didn't heavily lobby against it. We'll spend billions more on infrastructure that has a way higher maintenance cost, way shorter lifespan, and way less efficient.
I have wanted to see a complete, detailed, high-quality animation of a TBM for 20+ Years! THANK YOU!!
Dreams come true =)
Your channels got shared on one of the engineering pages on Reddit recently and I'm loving all these videos! I wish more companies were willing to show off like this.
Cool, Welcomehere Friend ;)

This company makes the best documentaries. Perfect transitions
Wow! Tunnel building… What a niche! 👏🏽
an unrespected one thats for sure
Absolutely amazing. This is pure engineering perfection. Salutes from a Geotechnical Engineer, this work you've done is astonishing. Congrats.
你厉害啊
This channel deserves millions subscriber, best documentary
Impressive! Impressive work, impressive technology and impressive presentation!
It's like a documentary that goes straight to the point without wasting time in nonsense details and stories that have no relevance for the subject.
Marti has to be one of the best tunnel builders in the world
Outstanding rail and tunnel construction! Here in Australia we have politicians that are so corrupt that any construction like this would cost at least double of what it would cost in Europe!
It appears that they have taken lesson from Russia, where all projects take double the actual cost and double the time to build ... so there is enough money to 'grease' all the wheels of power!
And our TBMs remain bogged (stuck) for months end. Snowy 2!
Amazing solutions to difficult problems. Bravo.
Very detailed and elaborate video explaining intricacies of construction methods. Well done marti group!
I love the engineering my favorite part is his voice and the way he explains everything
17:40 That smooth transition from the 3D animation to video footage tho....
Transition from image to video you mean....
Why is this so Goddamn interesting. Its a freaking tunnel!
This cutaway video is just as amazing as the boring machine
Sehr sehr gute Doku! Qualitativ hochstehend gemacht und sehr interessante Ingenieursarbeit!
I just love to watch this stuff. I wish this was the norm for broadcast TV ... something to stimulate peoples' brains. This is cool! Fantastic animations.
So crazy that someone really thought of creating this thing. The human brain is amazing
Great illustration and film work, looking serious with hamlet but also very important 18:23, good luck, thank you very much for sharing
Give your video team a raise! They deserve it, this is amazing.
I love these videos, you guys are amazing in what you do and how you do it but these videos should get an award!!! I want a Marti t-shirt with the TBM!!!
This video could easily have been over a hour long but respect for maiking it short and to the point!
Amazing that this is just posted for free. I always wondered how tunnel segments were installed, now I know!
I saw a similar machine when it came out at the end of the tunnel in KARLSRUHE in the summer of 2015.
Proudly German engineer technologies. My deepest respect to the Swiss Marti Group.
Yeah, TBM co-invented by the British and French and the Brits who invented modern steel tunnel shielding method.
Thanks, Germany????
@@SMGJohn Thanks Brits, I deeply respect brits and Britain.
@@SMGJohn Yet it takes tiny Switzerland to advance all these engineering technologies together to another level of perfection of scale, extent and complexity. They overtook the British and the French as far back as 1871, starting off with the old Gotthard Tunnel , right up to this day.

They did not tunnel those old ones with TBM I can tell you that much.
And we see again that modern TBM's still operate the same as they did when they were invented, they require immense amount of manpower to operate, and I really do not see what the Swiss has "accomplished" here, the next revolution in TBM are to make them require as little workforce as possible in order to tunnel for longer time with as little downtime as possible such as switching out cutters while under operation, something only experimental machines are doing today.
@@SMGJohn O dear me, how patronizing that you deem it necessary to tell me *that much* about the historical perspective on tunneling.
I'd never have known otherwise that the 1871 Gotthard Tunnel was not bored by a mechanical worm.
Hat's off all the engineer and team worker... Heartful thanks to all
Magnificent! I'm impressed of the engineering, vision, creativity, and imagination to develop processes, procedures, machines, mechanisms, and all the tools, knowledge, experience, and skills to do something like this. I really enjoyed this video.
Its amazing how this machine digs the tunnel and makes the supporting walls too. Thats one smart invention. What the Victorians would of done with that machine, they certainly wouldn't have had as many deaths. But those who died are the pioneers and this wouldn't have been possible without their sacrifice. RIP 🙏
Can't get over how California frets and baulks at putting in a single high speed reai line like it's an impossible expense yet Switzerland does dozens of these projects and does not bat an eye.
This is why it won't be necessary to build... czcams.com/video/ncIe1bGPBBw/video.html
It's just how economies of scale work, if you are constantly doing something the cost per unit will drop substantially and ease of the project increase.
Truly enjoyed watching this video! The video animation presents the construction works so detailed and easy understanding. Kudos to the producer and also Marti Group for the successful and amazing construction work!
Great Job !
The tunnels make our world more connected and more easy to travel.
We can be happy about such tunnels !
These videos are fantastic! Many thanks for sharing these.
Truly a modern marvel. Engineering excellence!
Hands down some of most detailed entertaining brilliant stuff. Cheers.
Another thing I noticed, these ring segments are using both steel reinforcement AND additional fiber reinforcement (almost certainly just plain fiberglass, but it could be aramaid fiber or carbon fiber, if the mechanical properties are extremely critical, but those last two options are usually prohibitively expensive).
Must be nice being able to just drill a tunnel where you want it to go, I'm over here in New York state and... well all our mountains are "rubble piles" formed during the last ice age by the glaciers pushing around rocks of any size from sediment to house-sized.
Heck, the most solid rock we have around here is Shale, and even that's just begging to erode given the smallest flow of water, since it's just weak sedimentary rock.
We do have a few tunnels around here, but it's very much not a common thing.
this is so beautiful. Imagine what a person from literally 100 years ago would say
This is great stuff. These monster tunnel projects fascinate me. This ranks up there with the Gotthard Base Tunnel and DC Water's massive sewer-and-storm-drain-separation work.
These videos are really good, I watched one and was like oh this is by the company that did it wow thats a lot of effort to share something so cool, these videos are amazingly well made thankyou.
I thought I was watching National Geographic and then thought ot myself… oh they really improved their animations lately, then i looked at the channel name and saw it was a company, thats amazing, why dont more companies do this, its such good marketing and gives the population a good idea of how the projects around them are built and makes us appreciate such work everytime we take a train through the tunnel
For some reason ive watching like 2 hours of these videos. The shit you do at 3am
Very nice video and very informative. Thank you. 👍
This is the best explained video of its kind i've ever watched !
This is one of the best channels on youtube. So glad I found it (the algo suggested it I mean)
Some of these transitions are fucking smooth, hats off to the editors
Great job on explanation
We need this sort of tunneling in del mar California we have a single track mainline on a cliff thats falling into the sea thats both a choke point and dangerous.
20 mins of my life well spent
Very informative and a great job with the video thanks for sharing
18:03 A wonder construction was possible in such a chaotic environment. People are even driving backwards there.
But actually beautiful video with unmatched, easy to understand detail.
Excelente trabajo en todo sentido ... 👋👋👋👋👋🇦🇷
Amazing engineering worker... This video make love engineering industry
This shit is way better than tv
Beautiful work 👍
this is peak engineering right here.
Very good presentation
Yuo see....Buenas coordinaciones !.
T.y.
Brilliant animation of a fantastic job.
Good chanel 👍👍👍👍👍 I From Malaysia
Fascinating engineering
Sangat luar bisa proyek yg bgus
Saya sangat menyukain di bidang proyek seperti ini ..salam indonesia
Such excellent presentation!
oh my god!!!!!!!!!! its so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These videos are incredible
Felt a little like a Guy Ritchie film with the backing track ❤
I'm a bit late but This is an outstanding video.
The machine is modern and huge
Watching this on a train in the Eppenbergtunnel 😅
Two words incredible!
Marti are the best!
Amazing engineering!
Well,it will last for a lil while anyway. We just keep creating awesome things that inevitably will cause massive issues. The type of things our great, great grandkids will have to deal with. Thats what makes it ok to do apparently.
Thanks for the great work
human engineering is amazing
Most informative ever!
Am I missing something? I heard the same thing over and over and not just in this video. They always say "underground tunnel", why? Has anybody ever seen an above ground tunnel?
Greetings and appreciation to the heroes
The tunnel was estimated to be completed in 2019 and it's now 2023, so I wonder how it went? Wish there was a prologue video showing what it looks like now in February, 2023.
the tunnel is in service since december 2020
Other companies: Make CGI of products not yet built which have a high chance of becoming vapour ware.
Marti: Makes CGI education videos of projects they've already done.
Very nice… great tech👍
Frigging amazing!
Great video😊
Great and complex engineering!
But at this point I was wondering, wouldn't have it been cheaper to just build the additional lines above ground using occupied land and compansate the homeowners?

This is Switzerland. No one would sell their home
November 2022,.....in my community in the USA, in Columbus, Ohio,....a large bore tunnel machine is being employed, to dig a tunnel from the North end of Columbus to the South end,...it will be, ( not sure if the whole tunnel will be used) for clean and waste water transport. Like I don't know if the whole tunnel will contain multiple large pipes, ( I am guessing it will), to provide this water movement. The project will go on for several years. Only recently in the summer of 2022, in a city owned public park, less than a 1/2 mile from my house, is where they are staging the first part. Tuttle Park is it's name, and it is a 1/2 mile north of The Ohio State University, campus. We were informed it will be dug in sections, which will later, meet up. It is not clear if the tunnel will run under the entire city Columbus. But the earliest sections, are meant to improve the waste water and fresh water transfers in many communities where old, underground water pipes, have not been improved in at least 100 years. We were informed that was may hear strange noises coming from the dig, which is quite deep in the ground. These machines can operate 24 hours a day.
best video i’ve ever watched 😂😂 like, i love this stuff .
Thats how you do a freaking add video!!! Why aren t these on discovery channel already? We need more of these. Please, the next one, do a tunnel under the moon. I bet you can do it!!!
Wish there was a free online course about mining and digging, that way I could indulge my inner dwarf.
Amazing and super interesting
This is awesome
Equal things i have programmed my whole life. Everytime it was an adventure, believe me.
Jus started working at a tbm company…interesting job
This is national geographic level stuff.
Belt that comes from a belt storage is understandable but how did the pipes get longer while drilling is going on? (12:33)
interesting videos
Out Standing Job.
Matri Group is the best construction company in the world on my moma ❤
Are Marti building their own TBMs by now or is it Herrenknecht stuff? The hydroshield sounds pretty Herrenknecht to me. Awesome video, Hopp Schwyz!
Edit: Und ist der Berg auch noch so klein, muss mindestens ein Tunnel rein! :D
Is there any chance of gases inside the rock layers ....
Would it be feasible to freeze the loose and wet soil in front of TBM. If soil becomes solid from freezing and can be removed like rock, it would save time. No need to modify cutting wheel, no need for Bentonite, no need for pumping, separation, re-using of Bentonite. When they were building Grand Coulee Dam, there was a soil condition causing slumps while excavating. They used either chilled salt water or Ammonia as the refrigerant. They froze large areas so excavation could continue.
amazing.
