  • It feels like I'm finally living in the future when using the Elizabeth Line in London. It's absolutely astonishing. To say it's 'just' a tunnel absolutely misses the point - it's an amazing piece of architecture and engineering. And because I can take it from Sheffield it saves me time, money and the dread of transport connections.

    • TBM's have slowly evolved to what they are today. In the late 1800's they already had machines for digging tunnels, but they were of course not as sophisticated as they have evolved to be today. Quote: """ 1965 saw a major step forward in TBM technology with the invention of the Bentonite tunnelling concept. This allowed soil to be carried away from the tunnel face by pumping in bentonite (a clay mineral) to create slurry - a liquid form of earth. """

  • Have you ever considered looking in the Hsuehshan/Snow Mountain Tunnel in Taiwan? It's only 12.9km long with a max 500m deep shaft, but goes through some pretty tough geography that destroyed two of the three TBMs that were deployed. As a Taiwanese I keep hearing heroic stories from our own media channels about amazing and world-class it was to build that tunnel, when the Swiss, French, Japanese, and Americans all came to survey but gave up. However, I can't find much info in the world media about it other than that one Discovery channel documentary which just echoes the same story told within Taiwan. If it was indeed a world-shocking project as is claimed, I would have expected more coverage. Would you know anything about it?
