- 39 million tonnes of raw sewage floods through London's rivers every year causing a huge stink in the city. The Victorian sewer system can't cope with volumes and a new super sewer must be built. To do this, a tunnel boring machine must be brought in to excavate underground.

These tunnel boring machines are a huge advancement. The old method of Martin chewing through the rock has taken it's toll.😢
I have worked with TBMs and Road headers most of my life and just hate the way the media portray this and other industries. I can tell you it's more dangerous to cross the road or drive into work. The last project I worked on had eight TBMs, they now have 10 for the next phase.
Back in the 70s I worked in the tunnels in Milton Keynes for kilroe ,Miller Buckley ,kinear moody , streeters, in these big TBMS it's like sitting in your front room turning knobs, we were up to our ankles in Water ,week of days week of nights in the pub we spent the sub, the craic was great, no health and safety, I was 18 and still could do it today
Turning nobs on the ladies will never get old
Wow... 33:20. That could have been very bad. The worker got very lucky.
Max respect to you Martin. Hardly recognised you, mind it was thirty odd years ago I knew you at Battersea...
I worked as an electrician on the 2 TBM for the Cairo tunnel built on site it was hot . Steve in Thailand.
I worked as an electrician on a robins tbm in australia ...dd in Thailand
4:23
Engineer receives a multi million pound machine
Engineer : this is engineer's office
Where do I plug the coffee pot in..
Press the button and sit back and relax
This is amazing!
9:31 i think martin should the one who needs a dental check ups
this is exactly what i was thinking.
really an offense for our eyes ouch!!
Yah, I'd think he earns a lot of money from what he does, yet he does not fix the teeth. It just shows that white beautiful teeth are just North American thing really, at least I think so.
@@exlibrisas its about care not genetics
kind of ironic that he does the tooth checks eh?
thanks so much, I will share it to our Equipment Team for the upcoming bid
"Were certainty looking forward to a Christmas, with Busy Lizzy™ in our shaft...." @14:25
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you heard it as well
"This part is super dangerous"
Business guy in suit stands 5 feet away.
He has the good insurance
The most exiting part is the use of compressed air.
Digging hard and deep into Mother Earth👌😏
Nothing beats digging in a mother 🌎
its not a boring machineits a very interesting machine
fantastic machine
awesome
We are a nation of nearly 70 million and we import just about everything except social workers,lawers,psychologists,and any ism you can think of.Our Universites churn out thousands of graduates annually with useless and pointless 'degrees'.It's so sad.
why would you make a show with “dirty” in the title and not have Mike Rowe narrate it? lol
The machines are worth the money, the efforts are worth the time, and the men are worth the praise.
Nice.
Amazing machine.
Development more.
that cable snapped and Martin barely flinched..... thats enough force to cut you in two
RIP Briane Noone one of the greats
why the hell are we measuring distances by empire state buildings?
because its the most iconic building in the world.
Mr.Roger Mitchel👍👍
insane machine very intersting
also that guy got some nice teeth lol
I'm glad the Big Blue disaster is making crane operators much more cautious!
Seattle has a nice one available only used once for about 2 miles.
Yeah that was a cluster fuk...
Y
How much does that cost per each ring?
I worked in an open pit iron mine near the Mexican border. I was part of a six man drilling and blasting crew. The danger of having a premature detonation of the thousand tons of ammonium nitrate liquid explosive was near zero.
Premature explosion led to me having twins.
yesterday night i was watching a documentarie about thhe creation of the biggest wholes and what kind of machine they used and about the engeneering on about the thing worked. Real odd to see it is finished and lizy does the rest
That's crazy...my exes name is road-header as well 😮
These workers are hero
Most certainly the job is not 'boring'.
So strange.
When I checked out Discovery, these big tunnel drillers have been breaking all the time.
Could it be that Discovery likes drama?
No, Just This One Is The Most Modern And The One With The Most Redundant Systems
@@cumguzzler8537 Ok
It.... Happens a lot. Some of these REALLY break a lot. Check out Bertha. It hit a rock and fucking died LMAO
Do Auger boring machines!
Busy Lizzy in our shaft. I fucking LOVE engineers.
WOW imagine if they put that money into cleaning up the waste instead of building a tunnel just to dump sewer further down river. Those britts are mad!
Yeah no worries just let every shit you take in London, flow into the Thames. Great idea ......next time just check what the project is about instead of blindly hating on it .....
Wow you're dumb.
44 million horse power!!!!!!!!
This is not some kind new advance tunneling method. The only difference is the diameter of the bore and the geology the machines are designed to bore through.
I had the privilege of seeing one of the machines up close more then 40 years ago. It was a 7m steerable hard rock boring machine use to tunnel two 7.5 mile tunnels for the Red Line of the Washington DC Metro.
Its New And Advanced, You Literally Disproved Yourself.
@@cumguzzler8537lol
those trucks are powerful to carry might mo better than busy lizzie
This is the type of work I do for a living 250 ft underground 28 miles of tunnel work💪
This is how we do tings here in the U.K.
Mexican Engineering... cut a boot, stick it on the pump. Leak stoped.... hahaha
i mean its just replacing a rubber seal right? lol he got that shit back running quick
Who thinks the boss bought that kid new boots?
How big is a star bluster and a battery used to powers the lazer that cuts through an a star bluster and will it be used on the mountion to cut a hole in a side of the cauouon and the tunnel you want to cut out a trick trains and a freeways in the same tunnel like the Eparepen roundly would be easier thin the big thing you have and coust lases and faster and the laser can fumes the still nines you ntad to gather for the trackers and the still nines foe the upper highways up above the still tracks
Blasting could be done..there tricks with it.
Yeah.
Safe and none vibrating and reinforced
WE SHOULD WORK ON FAST TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION METHODS
How deep towards center of Earth could one of this machines take us?
Not deep
Good job Mexico
“We are ready to put busy lizzy in our shaft”
These Men are hard working !!!! Where arw the female workers?
Seriously though... Probably making sandwiches..
Maybe I missed something. Where are they routing the huge amount of sewage to...the Atlantic ocean? Are they going to treat the sewage or are they just going to dump it in the Atlantic?
Sadly, most of sewage water is being dumped without any treatment cause it's cheaper that way.
More sadly, fish will eat any organic effluent we dump in the oceans of our world. There are sea fish living and thriving in the Mariana’s trench at a depth of 35,000 ft, that’s about 7.5 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Guam.
@@Timothy-lb2vr I don't know about the Trench but I have witnessed some pretty crappy situations in places like Hawaii and Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The one in Mexico was amazing because a popular beach had a huge sign warning people not to go into the water because of the sewage discharge from a great big pipe running right down the beach. I don't speak much Spanish, but I knew enough to understand the message...that didn't stop the fishermen and swimmers, though. about a half a mile down the coast, I found an interesting beach with some curious rocks covering the beautiful white sand and I walked down to the water. I will never forget the scene I encountered. Two lovers, scantily clad, laying together in-between gobs of toilet paper and human turds littering the beach. It was one of those un-seeable things you sometimes see in life.
Britain really need a BRIXIT!!
No, It needs A Normal Premier
fortree plantion ==need such rock cutter
Mexico city has sunk 10 meters on the last decade? O.o is this accurate?
first hit at google "Mexico City is sinking by an estimated one meter (3.2 feet= 97.5 cm) every year"an article from 2018
century
100 years
3:20 "Keeps us busy when we've got nothing else to do"
What about brushing those teeths now and then?
Nasty...
Not a huge secret,,, we use it everywhere
The mud is mad in to the counteract and the iorion is,mad in to the still bimes,so Mack a disgrace that for be honest it and,ramparts the still out off the rocker and the all in one it can Mack the iorion beamer your off the stones and you got that aney way just add it to the divece
You know these have been used since the 1950s?
How come there’s no subtitles?
I had to turn on closed caption because I don't know what the hell these guys are saying and English is my natural language!
Road Header lmao
44 million horsepower?? Not even close, obviously. Where the F did they get that number?
How Do You Think It Can Move Millions Pounds Of Ground?
probably in force generated though hydraulics and all the extra gear advantages etc not literally 44m hp from an engine or power consumed
Why do they bother with painting the cutting tools?
ⵉⵜⵔⵓⵏⴰⵓⵜ makes it look nice, why do they name it if they use it once?
Haha at 42:44 . The Imperial system prevails in times of stress.
If Robot Wars had the US military budget...
9:20 I think Martin is the one who needs the dental check up.

Então vocês querem arrumar a mulherada !?!?!?! ( fazer cidades bonitas e bem construídas) . Hhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!!!
I don't see a lot of feminists asking for gender equality in this job.
Stop saying "The Erectors"..
someone should introduce the toothbrush to them.
I had to scroll down way longer than I thought for the first teeth joke
Butt remover all you tack out of the ground the bigger since holes you have above win that canceled in to the ground the clay you move put is mind it stoines and the stoines are mad in to empiers and caretaker and roads and
Nice casual gay panic about working on a machine with a male name lmao.
This is boring.
You have no right talking about earthworms unless you identify as one
