This should be shown in every school to encourage people to go into engineering
Completely agree! My dad was a civil engineer and my brother became an civil engineer with honours.
Jack and all the guys are just amazing ,the work they do fighting against the elements is unbelievable . Good on ya guys well done ❤
I have developed a lot of respect for people who do the 'grunt' work on this sort of project after the extensive planning is done. We've had a sewer replacement going on down the road for the past four weeks in N London and the four guys and one woman doing the work have been interesting to talk to in short bursts between tasks while I'm heading down to the shops, the pub or just out for a walk. The little 'baby dinosaur' (as I see it) otherwise known as a BobCat digger is a versatile beast and can be remarkably precise.
My kids are bored with me asking them to pop down from Exeter to check up on how the work is processing, that was a really brilliant update by young jack. Hats off to the brilliant orange army for the fantastic work they are doing and solving problems when and if there arise, I do hope the company gives them a bit of a bonus in the Christmas stockings for all that brilliant work. IMHO.
Wow, what a superb engineering project. Can’t wait to walk along the seawall next September
I really hope the residence of Dawlish will throw a massive party for Jack and the team when they have finished
I'm gonna miss these updates, this will end one day soon, but it's been great seeing the work come along and learn how these guys work hard to make what is effectively, a work of art!
Has a date been set for the big concrete pour, it's been very interesting to watch so far. well done to all the staff working in those windy/wet conditions. Thanks.
I am watching this from a beautiful old gold mining town in Victoria Australia, which couldn’t be further from you really, in distance and type of geography. But my ancestors are Plantagenets and we are Courtenay’s, related to the current Earl of Devon and our ancestral home is
Powderham Castle. I have had a love for Devon and Cornwall for all of my life and never knew why until more recently. So I get homesick for a country that I have never visited and counties that I have not seen in real life. Am not into engineering but am into Devon. So I watch this. Sounds weird I know. Great job guys.
Spor la munca dragi Prieteni buni din England ⚒️🏗️👍🇸🇭☺️⛴️ 🙋
Thanks, Jack, a great video to add to the set...to be able to follow the progress of the works has been an education. 👍...
Great progress and interesting to see the confined space working precautions 👍
Sounds complicated all that bridge work and reinforcement just for people to walk over it. But very interesting to see, thanks again Neil for your excellent coverage. 😊
Absolutely loving these videos. Jack is a superb communicator and explains all the engineering going into the works really well; a great ambassador for Bam Nuttall. Beach Cam Man, could we please, please have a full-on effort with cams for the big pour? Any chance of getting a head cam on someone actually working in the pour? Some multi-angle time lapses would be ace too. I'd chip in for the head-cam to get that perspective and I'd hazard a guess that some others would too. There's a lot of concrete fans out here who would love to see a pour like that. The logistics of the overall operation are amazing. Keep up the fantastic work chaps.
Salutari din Romania 🙋 🙋 🇷🇴
As a local. It all looks great and nice but you know how much sand and rocks we can get at hight tide pushing it right under the road section
The two new side look nice but will end up with pikes of sand and rock. Sorry to say that.
We are going to have a mini cat to clear that lot off as it will happen. And as we will be having high high tides soon.
We will have to wait and see.
Good luck to all the workers and keep warm guys it's getting colder.
Great work on the report camara work brilliant as usual.
Keep doing our history of Dawlish
Really injoyed this video thank you 😊
You guys are doing a cracking job
Great watch 👍 thank you 😊
Astonishing knowledge of construction methods.
As it happens I'll be travelling through Dawlish on a Cross Country service on the 23rd December to spend Christmas with relatives near Plymouth, returning on the 28th. Can I ask where the contractors will be with the footbridge by that stage? Apologies if a date was mentioned in the vid, in which case I must have been distracted and missed it! As others have said, this series has been extremely interesting and informative... and very well explained. Well done to all involved!
Great video. Is the new concrete footbridge tied into the walkways at both ends or is there any sort of movement expansion joint? If so how is it protected?
Great stuff
Hi Jack. Many thanks for another excellent, clearly explained update. Civil engineering public relations at its best. One question from me - does the salt sea water cause a problem for the machinery?
They have had some issues with the tracks in previous videos
Looking good great work being done.
Hi jack when will it all be finished me & my husband come next july it's looking lovely even now happy Christmas 🎄
Everything will be finished by next July I believe
Ce se lucreaza acolo jos Prietene? ⚒️🏗️, am vazut pe camera Live 📹☺️
When is the whole thing expected to be fully open by
You didn't say how you re-fuel the machines that normally are supplied with a digger.
Is there a drawing or animation to explain what is happening with the lift hole being dug please?
Why are they going down so deep if it is for a lift shaft for a bridge over the railway, or is it for a tunnel under the railway?
I understood Jack to say that there will be 8 tubes where the piles will go. In between the tubes they will put concrete up to the level they were standing. Then later, piles will be driven through the tubes down several metres to hold everything firm. I guess the tubes will then be filled with concrete too. Why the piles? Well, I reckon the lift structure stands to receive tons of water thrown at it during storms and they don't want it to move - for at least a hundred years!
To keep it simple, they are sinking a foundation down to bedrock or beach base level
👍
Is'nt it about time we had building regs that tidal and sea defence concrete work should be reinforced with stainless steel.I have seen numerous times and again this autumn on the Isle of wight ww2 defence concrete work almost gone as the erosion of concrete gets back to the reinforcing steel that is then destroyed by the salt.I know stainless is much more expensive but defence work like this should last over a century,not less than.
Both concrete and steel composition have advanced quite a bit since then, especially concrete mix
Most collapses are caused by rebar rusting within the concrete, all this rebar is pre-rusted so is the whole structure already compromised?
As long as the bar is completely encased in concrete there can be no further rusting as there won't be oxygen getting in.
😭 that was a Castle set in the background Neil they’re been withdrawn soon
nice easy job, NO logistic problems, should have been done months ago....................
I’m excited to watch the progress of fresh development along Dawlish seafront now that there will be a much safer foundation for future property investment. Rock on Dawlish! 🙏🇬🇧💒⛪️
This looks as if it is going to ruin Dawlish. No attempt is being made to retain the Victorian character and charm of the original beach area and promenade configuration. So much stark, white concrete and no brick. I wouldn't be surprised if when finished it would look more at home on a motorway.
The Victorian character was new once, but it is past its design life. If you have watched earlier updates, you will know that modern building regulations mean the old ‘charm’ was not possible to recreate, and would not have been sufficient to future-proof the scheme.
It has happened, it is needed, you need to accept it.
Bonkers when f all is being done about catastrophic climate change , it will be a job forever if we had that long .
Hitler did something similar to this at Longues Sur Mer, when will the 150 mm guns be installed?
😆
Yes, it's ugly. Only a few people would deny that. But, unlike Longues-Sur-Mer, this is a necessary evil done to protect both the railway line and the town of Dawlish.
@@cargy930 The ugliness is not at all necessary. The Victorians invested huge amounts of thought and money into aesthetics and beauty. This has about as much beauty as a flood escape.
@@gainsbourg66 Did you miss the bit where I agreed it was ugly?
Of course it could have been far more beautiful, but at a significantly greater cost. That additional money was needed elsewhere on the network. So aesthetics had to take a back seat to preserving existing infrastructure around the entire system.
Of course, if you have deep enough pockets to finance the extra costs, then you should have gifted them the money in the planning stages.
Never has so much time, effort and money been wasted on a totally unneeded cause! Reopening of the Exeter to Newton Abbot inland line would suffice or? Bore a tunnel underneath the Dawlish section with an underground station!
What a ridiculous comment, obviously from someone who has no knowledge or understanding of the local area.
Totally agree they've gone overboard. Unlike Victorian engineers there appears to be no effort whatsoever to introduce aesthetics. Instead it looks more like a futuristic, concrete nightmare. Dawlish will lose its quaint, Victorian charm and become like those ugly places they ruined along the Thames estuary.
I suppose you want to help pay for these extremely expensive ideas?
@@andrewreynolds4949 Tunnelling would be massively expensive, considering the geology of the area. I honestly think some people think the city building games are realistic with 'click and plonk' civil engineering (and of course the infinite money option that many have).
@@sgthree Most people just don't have any knowledge or understanding of logistics
