The Northern Collector tunnel is an engineering masterpiece that cuts across two constituencies Kangema and Kigumo in Murang'a county. The construction of the tunnel started in 2015. The purpose of the project is to help ease water shortage in Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi.

In absence of corruption and bad politics, Kenya can do marvelous things. The same tenacity should be replicated in other infrastructure like roads, buildings and bridges.
I love this,Chams! I think similar Kenyan engineers could have done those simple dams (Kimwarer and Itare) whose monies the Treasury moghuls (Rotich and Thugge et etc) ate with the Italians! There is enough local talent and technical uwezo!
How I wish we had underground parking within CBD to solve parking issues.
We need high capacity reliable safe buses to avoid traffic jams.
kentosh120 parking decks and brt
@@tjhawkins5380 BRT is a waste of money , normal buses would work just like old KBS and Nyayo buses.
We actually need replanning of the CBD
Kudos. You all make us proud to be Kenyans. Ahsanteni!
Same tunnel technology should be benchmarked for the construction of the Nairobi city subway, if we ever plan to build one.
mna teta chinise , they just explained kuna inspectors who come from all over the world to see what's going on including consultants kwa ivo u should expect to see Chinese and other non kenyans making rounds, all tunnels in the world take the same approach of including non resident Eng. to come in depending on different design sections of a project.
I see Kenya is charging and challenging those countries which always gave us competition. Kudos
Kenya is a rich Nation
I love such kind of news
Atleast I had a full chance to visit this northern water collection channel.. That's actually happening in my home sub-county.. Excellent job.
Now you are celebrating water theft from the source to feed that monstrosity called Nairobi instead of preserving nature and agriculture
This is nice, we can do it. Thank you Chams for the good work
Good to know that Nairobi will eventually be having water on a regular basis. What the engineers didn't tell the land owners is that tunnels lower the water table and natural water springs will cease to exist.
Chamwada you never ever disappoint. Your videos are always very educative, informative and as it appears accurately and professionally prepared. I am so grateful for how you make us feel proud to be Kenyans, inspiring and encouraging the youth! Keep it up and thanks a lot!!!
By Kenyans????? ........eeeeerrrrrrrr....... did I see a Chinese or what? 🤔
Chinese are Kenyans😂😂😂
They only give the funds...everything else is Kenyan
@@bitsnpisces3623 chamwada never mentioned it's funded by the Chinese.
Beautiful natural landscape
We need to use oil revenues to harvest sea water and build deslaination plants at lamu, malindi and mombasa and pipe the water to all counties all the way to nairobi and its neigbouring counties and the malindi and lamu desalination plant to pipe water to the northern counties mandera, garrissa, wajir, isiolo , nanyuki, nakuru to rift valley and the malindi to share the same pipeline as lamu but have somewhere in isiolo a deviation pipeline going from isiolo, meru nanyuki and connecting to this tunnel for more volume of water to feed kiambu, limuru, nakuru and onwards to riftvalley counties . Then harvest the turkana aquifires and provide water for turkana and pokot and baringo and the remaining for irrigation in Turkana. The most expensive part of desalination plants is electricti to power the desal plants and power the pipelines to move water. What kenya is blessed with is renewables. An investor wanted to put up a wind farm in malindi for 600mw, lamu has plans for 90mw and more plus the coast has alot of sun for solar. So we can have a high breed desal plants running on wind and solar and for powering the water through the pipes. Plus the nortthern counties have plenty of sunshine for solar that can power water boosters to push the water to have continous flow.
desalinisation plants are very expensive to build. Plus pumping the water from Mombasa upwards to other parts of Kenya is also not viable.
@@EngPKiarie but i guess we find ways to pump oil all the way to eldoret from mombasa and now we are going to pump oil all the way from turkana to lamu and infact the oil is heavy waxy oil that solidifies when it comes into contact with the outside elements thus has to be melted or passed through hitted pipelines but we can not do this with water an easier product to transport via pipelines?
@@EngPKiarie So are oil refinaries expensive to build. We can not drink oil or irrigate with oil, at least we drink water and grow crops with water. we can survive without oil just by going green
This would not be necessary as we already have rivers and water bodies all over the country with clean water that does not need desalination. Build some dams, collector tunnels and we're good to go
It's cheaper to do piping from lake Victoria to lamu than desalinating sea water 😂😂😂
Wow this was very informative..As an Engineering student am passionate to join such projects to develop Kenya.
Good work .Hope Athi water will also upgrade the water pipes to reduce the wastage.
If NCT is tthe longest tunnel, what about sondu miriu hydropower which also had a 12km tunnel?
In Kenya if you ever hear designed by Kenyans and supervised by Kenyans that is already a failed project. This was a partnership between Chinese & Kenyan engineers. In Kenya we have no experience in drilling such a tunnel. In my opinion this project would have been given to the Chinese who handover projects even before the estimated completion date. It's now February which confirms you cannot believe anything a Kenyan tells you in terms of project completion. Simon Chelgui uwache uongo and apologize to thirsty Kenyans.
Kenyans will eventually get better at it. Don't be salty.
Good work bro Chamwada
I'm really trying hard to find suswa dam on Google maps.
Sasumuwa Dam
Good job done
Thanls
Great information with all your programs
Despite seeing a ton of Chinese personnel and Chinese writing on the tunnel entrance we are still sticking to it's a purely Kenya project.....Oh yeah, I believe that it truly Kenyan Project LOL.
We would be far if things were done this orderly all along! I am sure someone is already looking for ways to steal from here too!
How doe that total to 21b Alex
Channel heading to Kenyatta family city
Good one
Are we now consuming the water in nairobi?we're in 2021 right?
Please for more clarity on demystification next time incorporate motion Computer Generated Imagery/animation/simulator with visual effects, CFX and CFD to transport the views into that future of imaginary world with Auto-Cad and Revit-models that makes more sense and easier to understand in your reporting.
lol, why would they do that when we all we need to see is real thing...which is more believable. Someone can build models in absence of real structures hence should be doubtful
@@WorldIn360channel read my words very well 'INCORPORATE' to an already existing 'real thing' as you call it footage
@@kelvinwashiko17 I do not disagree to your opinion much, only thing I was highlighting is that these are content creators/newsmakers and not engineers or cad designers...especially on auto CAD/Revit models
So if there are no floods in Murang'a, the tunnel won't operate? Jesu
Great
Looks good but this is enriching water cartels as Nairobi will still experience water problem as cartels will be in charge of disconnections to sell water in there tankers
by kenyans ama i see some chinese there....
Wewe shhhh, we have to call them Kenyans now ama tuta anza kuitishwa ile deni. Ebu nyamaza wasiskie!.
Those are Chinese-Kenyans. LOL!!!
Chinese do the construction
Design is by a kenya consultant firm
You have to learn from experienced people, Chinese learnt from west.
The money spend can bore more borehole around Nairobi.justa a thought
Lmao. You are a joke
Raila was against this project he argued that there will be shortage of water in those the rivers my questions is were is sentiments political or he knew something would happen?
for me if the financing aint chinese am okay
Will the water untouchable cartels who block to sell water in Nairobi's outskirts be stopped for good to opress and deny people of Nairobi water to satisfy their greed of money?
Are Chinese nationals part of the game?
a purely kenyan engineering master piece while tags are written in chinese ?
we will never sit and watch our green land turn desert will observe any negative change tutazibomoa zote!
We can See Chinese writings on the Entrance/Exit.Chinese are seen behind scenes.Liers😏
the drawing (architecture )master plan the engineering, supervision is all kenyan chinese won the tender for doing construction. If you are going to run your mouth at least have facts not all kenyans have low self esteem like you
After 60yrs?bure kabisa.
How can it be designed and built by Kenyans while all the writings on the walls is Chinese 🤔🤨
LOL!! With heavy borrowing of loans from the west! Nairobians will pay a heavy price to the French and the Americans for the water. Who are they trying to fool?
Chinese is the contractor
The consultant is Kenyans
Where is the knowledge........they lied, when d depart u will see d projects hut, shot down.
Where is the money nd knowledge....they lied here, when d Chinese depart u would see the projects hut or shot down
Clement Oweh if you were an engineer you would understand better. This is my line of work and have been in this project for a while, so I know. Kenyans play the major role. Chinese just put things on the ground coz they have greater machinery and technology compared to Kenya
Yes cheat Kenyans but it's all about northland kenyatta city that's why you all don't know what to say
Seeing chinese does not mean they are the designers. Chinese are the cobtractor who are implimenting the design done by kenyans. The chinese are also employing kenyan engineers technicians and labourers
