I've been a huge fan of DRB for years now, and it's this kind of post that I love. Fantastic, imagination-catching stuff. Wow, can you imagine the consequences of forgetting to carry the 1 on an alignment equation??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-24165969222630924292008-11-23T23:54:00.000-08:002008-11-23T23:54:00.000-08:0019m diameter... that is <I>insane</I><BR/><BR/>I was totally unprepared for that. This type of stuff is truly hard-core engineering (no pun intended, but I'll enjoy the serendipity of it)<BR/><BR/>I can barely even fathom what the project management is like for the design and development of those (both TBMs and tunnel systems alike.)
