Belchentunnel (Switzerland) – Project Film

The 3.2 kilometre long Belchentunnel in Switzerland, between Basel and Egerkingen, crosses the Jura mountains. A characteristic feature of this mountain range is the large proportion of #Anhydrite, which has caused damage to the tunnel structure due to swelling. Renovation of the two existing double-track tubes from the 1970s was necessary. A third tube, the so-called rehabilitation tunnel, will be built for this purpose.
The #Herrenknecht and #MartiTechnik tunnel boring machine is special because it excavates the tunnel over a length of 75 metres, provides it with segments, seals it and concretes it. The diameter of the drilling head is almost 14 meters.

It's one thing to see it animated, but when they cut to real life footage of what you just saw, the scale is crazy. The bit where they showed the segmented ring placement was so cool.

Salute to the 3D modeler who create this video.

My job can't plan past next week, and these guys have a massive multi decade plan where they actually can't be wrong on anything. Amazing.

[VenturiLife]

The amount of engineering in this, and pre-planning is wild.

[dannywalters]

This is truly wonderful. The people who planned these machines..

[edwinlipton]

You guy's at Marti, from the labor, the Janitor on up to job completion, are AWSOM!

[bikersoncall]

The engineering, machine design, scale of the project are
as they say ''on another level'', in other words; Mind boggling!

[TomJerry]

this is so freaking cool; I wish humanity had this level of competency in more places.

[RandomGuy]

If I ever need a tunnel, I'll want Marti to build it. Incredible.

[sleeplessdev]

Such a beautiful symphony of hardware, electronics, planning, and labor to make these projects happen.
Very impressive achievement

[vishalgaurav]

Exceptional video quality. Never seen anything like this before.

[markmazza]

This company has the most impressive infrastructure technology I’ve ever seen. I am in awe of their absolutely stunning vision, design, and implementation.

[sdovhfunlahsvisegbakshfjbs]

A first-rate documentary without generic "80s elevator" music. Top notch all the way.

[therainmaker]

For those who did the animation deserve a raise and promotion.

[johnny]

The amount of work, steel needed, and concrete is mind blowing

[zimontheouaib]

Thanks marti for this share and this improvement.
With the trust that this company can work in this direction for the protect of our planet and the living species like ours ..

[bikesforsalenigeria]

This is the most complex engineering model I have ever seen. Man truly is limitless. This is an inspiring work.

[nikolausbenz]

The Herrenknecht Boring Machine makes it all possible. Great project and congratulations to the complete team involved!

[MrSaemichlaus]

Top shelf planning, engineering and also animation. A clean and organized jobsite makes for a safe and efficient job.

I didn’t realize this was a commercial for Marti, it was very informative so I’m not mad
