This would have blown the minds of the men that built the first subways

The machine is like a monster..

Man made engineering at its finest what a beautiful machine

The precision of drilling through underground for miles to make its exit at the exact pre-cut position is insane

They call it boring but I find it really quite exciting

Even more impressed from the sign above showing that it was on schedule 👏👏

Fun fact, these machines have been around since the late 50s but obviously weren't announced

That machine isn’t boring, it’s exciting!

That's a mean piece of hardware

It's Not a Boring machine..... It's actually quite interesting.

Nice to see they were able to salvage that incredible piece of machinery after their failure at Ba Sing Se.

I live in Hampton and trust me, that project can't be finished soon enough. Tomorrow would be great.

The UK/France built the Channel Tunnel in the 1980s. The two machins met in the middle and were only 130mm out of line. The tunnel is 27 miles long.

Amazing footage...thank you!!!

Финишная прямая , КРАСАВЦЫ 👍

初めて見たけど感動もんだなぁ！

Ive been on big construction projects that involve multiple companies and it took months to over a year to finish. That comradery when the project reaches a big milestone is one of the most gratifying feelings a man can have. You group of men through toil and sweat have built a thing that will serve our society for decades to come. It satisfies a need to create and provide and be part of something. I believe its why men take these kinds of roles. We seek that specific feeling of gratification

To think machines like this exist is just mind blowing fantastic video

子供の頃砂山作ってトンネル掘って、向こう側貫通した時の感動も同じだった

These earth moving machines are so marvelous!!

the amazing part is that the engineers knew EXACTLY where this would exit. that is amazing.

Just imagine what the world could do if they all just got along and spent their money on structure instead of war, it would never happen just a thought

Amazing!

You're doing great sweetie!!!

TBM: “We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”

So they already made those saw cuts for the shape of the TBM, pretty precisely cut 👏🏽

WOW. Fantastic precision. How many mm was the drill off again?

Those machines are nuts

"You can put down the shovel Hank, look what we just got!"

That is just incredible I’ve never seen one fully exit like this

It's not boring at all, it is quite exciting to watch.

Good job! I've been doing this for more than 6 years

Absolute marvel of modern engineering. Love big machines.

Incredible piece of machinery !!!

Parabéns aos engenheiros e aos profissionais envolvidos, término dos serviços perfeito!!!👏👏👏👏

"Where you at?" "We're out front"

Around here, gray clay about three feet down and it is 100s of feet deep. Volcanic ash turned to clay.

More amazing the pre face cut exactly where the boring bit would breat through so it would be a clean hole due to the relief cuts in the outside of the concrete ❤😮 that was some good measurements!!

That Bridge-Tunnel in VA is some amazing architecture! Mattafact, if I remember correctly, they have more than one. You have that main line, and then there are either one or two smaller ones around in the city area.

That's insane!

HTBMs are the most awesome machines there are! Horizontal Tunnel Boring Machines!

This is absolutely amazing. TBM 👍🇬🇧

That machine doesn’t look boring after all

Wow, very accurate soil, well done macroshaders 🎉

Here's Johnny!

The greatest feeling a man can have is knowing all the time, effort, and hard-work created something that no one could understand - LT

Amazing how they scored that exactly where it was coming out. Just as amazed when the start at two end and meet in the middle.

Awesome indeed.👏🏾👌🏾👍🏾💯

BRILLIANT ENGINEERING!!!

Measure twice: cut once These are some great engineers, mechanics, and construction workers

As a Finn these are so fascinating! We don't have soil that could be just bored.

This is actually pretty exciting. Nothing boring about it

I haven't lived there in like 15yrs. They needed to do this 25 yrs ago. The HRBT sucked at rush Hour. I hope it helps.

The Spice must flow.

We're through. We made it. 🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏.

Now the real work begins, fitting the tunnel out to be a road!

Un Enorme Taladro y muy Efectivo, Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

This is awesome! Really going to make those islands SO MUCH more accessible.

Boring machine lookks quite interesting

im gonna run down to home depot and get me one of those drill bits

When you can’t hold back that Taco Bell any longer.

It’s the fire nation drill used to attack Ba Sing Sei

Its crazy how precise they can get it...look at the wall before it breaks throo...they have drawn a line around the wall where they plan it to come out... bang on the money

Amazing 👏

We are finally seeing these machines. They have been around for a long time. The tunnels they have bore have been done long ago. One acronym. D.U.M.B.’s.

Mbrekulli e mendjes dhe e dores njerrezore .❤

I miss doing this work so much. Hard work but get crews

*Uma Maravilha da Engenharia!*

One the worlds largest drill bits..

Glad to see they got ones side done, hopefully this will help speed things along. The traffic going thru the original tunnels is getting rather ridiculous, its hard for us who work live on side and work on the other especially during the summer months when all the tourists use these highways and create miles of backups

I was expecting the cool aid guy 😂

This is Bertha. We had her in Seattle for several years.

Pretty cool, I thought that they were having a concrete form blowout...

Sacré tunnelier !❤

Boring!? This is awesome

My god what can't men make!!! This is impressive 👏

That machine is not boring at all.

Amazing that the concrete hole was a perfect circle even though it was never touched by the tunneling machine.

It's good that we've trained sand worms to be our friends and help us with work like this!

It's amazing how at the same time this thing is working, the workers behind it are removing debris and lining the wall with concrete at the same time🤯

After I married my wife in 2000 , she became active duty navy and moved to Norfolk. Now in Williamsburg I can’t wait to see this project finalized The tunnel traffic was already collapsed in 2000. Way overdue project

And you can thank Isambard Kingdom Brunel for this machine, way back in the early 1800's... 😊

"And then Bane came and gave a speech I swear" 😂

Siempre e visto que queda un buen tramo y tenemos que dechimuelar y dejar presiso y exacto que hermosa ver la loseta salir completa 😮❤🇲🇽

TikTok gals are like “that’s average”

I would literally never have thought it was a boring machine coming through.

That’s awesome

I welded TBMs - cool experience

Hopefully that will take care of the traffic on that bridge forever now

Machine looks like a Cybertron spaceship part

About Time ! This tunnel construction has been taking forever, the only thing that has progressed over the years is the increases in the tolls

Can you imagine the amount of torque on that

Какая точность!!!уже и плиты подпилили по размеру.

"Hey hand me a hole saw bit. " "How big?" "Yes"

처음 부터 마지막 출구까지 정확하게 뚫는게 신기하네..

Avía mirado esa máquina en otros vídeos, y sabía su función pero, nunca avía mirado como era en realidad se miraba 👍

That is one awesome powerful machine. How long is this new tunnel? Looks like they been digging for years.

Есть сбойка! Горняки молодцы! Слава человеку труда!

First reaction was, oh no a dam is breaking.

Инженеры - самые крутые люди на свете!!!
