    Very impressive! If you are interested in Swiss tunnels: Besides Gotthard and Lötschberg through the Alps there is very near this project one of the most underrated projects in my opinion. It's the so called "Durchmesserlinie Zürich". It's a tunnel under one of the busiest train stations, under a river, through a hill, they spent one billion Swiss franks, they finished it on time, on budget - and nobody really realised it! A little "Bravo" and on with the show, that's how we are here in Switzerland 😉

      … and there is another underrated tunnel just nearby: the Hirschengrabentunnel for railway from Zurich HB to Stadelhofen. It goes also under the Limmat and was excavated on some places only two feet under the basements of existing houses. Some excavation was made by hand starting from the basements of this houses. It was also finished on time.

    So cool to see Eberhard in this international context. It is our local construction giant. It started out at 1954 as local road builder and it‘s big blast came with the extension of the airport in Zurich. Nowadays he is involved in almost all major building projects in Switzerland and is specialist in cleaning up hazmat land fills and cleaning spoiled ground. Never miss to visit Ebianum, the construction machine museum of the company near Zurich. It‘s just round the corner from my home.

      No. Eberhard is a common surname in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, derived from the first Name Eberhard (Eber=boar, hart=hard, tough, strong).

    There must be at least a million pounds worth of models in that collection because 1.50 scale models ain't cheap 😊

    Could a tower crane be used with the same bucket? How about a dragline excavator?

      Tower crane? No. You would need a rather strong tower crane to lift this 8m3 bucket. The ones already in place wouldn‘t be able to do this. Plus a tower crane usually isn‘t the equipment excavation contractors will use. The crane would take up more space, block the other tower cranes used by the building contractor and would be left unused during weeks, since the excavation is taking place in multiple stages, where the Sennebogen can be hauled away to other sites. Plus the job is to also lift the machinery (excavators, track loader) into the pit and vice versa. The sennebogen can lift up to 120t. Normal tower cranes range from 6t to 16t max. lifting capacity.
      A dragline would be possible, Eberhard has (or had) an old Liebherr dragline with 60t capacity, whereas the Sennebogen has 120t. But I guess they need a reliable and efficient newer machine on this job, because during eccavation phases trucks are coming in non-stop from 7 to 5+ pm Monday to Friday (sometimes Saturday).

    $20k sounds like a lot, because "all it takes" is 3D printing and lost resin casting... but then I realized if I did that and charged my regular hourly rate, it'd be about that much for all the 3D modeling and then labor of printing/casting/assembling/painting.

    How do you even begin to bid this project? I struggle bidding siding jobs, I couldn't imagine trying to bid something like this.

      This is a massive, multi-decade billion-dollar project where the federal government, the state, the city and three large educational institutions (including a university hospital) are involved (hgzz-zh.ch/, german only). Eberhard is more of a holding company than a contractor, and even they had to partner up with the Marti group (with around 80 subsidiaries itself) in order to win the bid. As an independent contractor you might be able to get sub-contracted by one of the involved subsidiaries if you know the right people, have a good track record and offer a competitive (i.e. low) price, but its highly unlikely.
