The Insane Scale of Europe’s New Mega-Tunnel

It’s kind of Amazing to think that you’ve gone from doing little tutorials and sales pitches for BIM software to discussing construction projects to now basically a full fledge BBC/National Geographic quality shows. Bravo!🎉

As a German I can say with confidence the Tunnel will be completed before the Motorway connection between Fehmarn and Lübeck will be completed.

I'm actually apart of this project, I work on one of the tugboats assisting the dredger ship and supplying the other ships on project. It's so cool to see this in a documentary... I can show people where and what I do now. Nice documentary

I loved the train/ferry ride. They used this route until some years ago. You were able to take a little stroll on the ferry, watch the waves, have a cinnamon roll and a coffee. Yes, it might have been slower than a tunnel, but sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need. I miss this a lot.

I know everyone says this, but I love how this channel did not turn into one of those one-sided types of content creators. (biggest building ever!!!) but this incredible production team covers many valid and important environmental as well as societal impacts of construction whilst reveling in their beauty and scale.

I worked on the construction of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel about 30 years ago. It was constructed in the same way this tunnel is being built.The water quality after the project was completed was better than before the project started. Good management and good ethics made it work, even though we had to work right underneath the Sydney Opera House. No one complains about it anymore

I really appreciated the thoughtful approach to the concerns of the citizens and genuinely the editorial felt "kind" towards their concerns. Nice work B1M.

$7.5bn is insanely cheap, if they can do it. In Australia they want $7bn just to build a train station in Sydney as part of a dream high speed train network

Is it just me or has the quality of videos on this channel gone through the roof recently? Take this video for example - it is better than many of the documentaries you watch on TV which are often done by production companies with decades of experience and many more people involved in the process of creating those documentaries. Wow! Thank you for putting out such high quality content here on YouTube!

As a German I have to say that we are very lucky the Danish are managing this project, Germany does nearly nothing to it. But it is really important in my opinion and probably the less Germany is involved, the better for the cost, the time horizon and the complexity of this project...

My hats off to all the people in charge of these fantastic engineering projects. You guys rock!👏👏👏

Seeing this video again after over a year it still is one of the best I’ve ever seen, especially for this project. As I live right there it also is incredible to see how much has changed at the construction site since this video was published

the two bridges between denmark and sweden are truly incredible, drove over those two last summer at sunrise and was blown away by the sights and the architecture

B1M is perhaps the most professional YouTube channel I’ve seen. You don’t avoid complex issues, instead you explain them in a language that those not in the industry, such as myself, can understand. We’ll done to you.

I worked on the Ground Investigation for this a few years ago, drilling boreholes across the water there. It was a very interesting idea and closer to home, the extension of the Tyne Tunnel in North East England was constructed in a similar fashion.

I took the Puttgarten ferry as a child, in the late 60s and early 70s. The train rolled onto the ferry, which I thought normal but have never experienced since. Amazing work!

One of finest documentary-style YouTube productions I've ever seen from any outlet, let alone from an independent YouTuber! Thanks Fred & team!

I'd be interested in seeing a video on how underwater trenches are dug, no idea how that would even work haha

Terrific story, unknown of by most of us in Texas. Quite comprehensive, well written, photographed and produced, covering the major and extreme elements of this project while adding significant irony towards the end with the telling of a story of a 60 year old bridge being the first water crossing of the area, its construction being resisted, and how locals now fear losing upkeep, maintenance, and the possible declining future of this sentimental "relic" at the expense of the new Mega Tunnel. Better than a 60 Minutes piece!

I love this episode, love how you're on the point in every way and despite clear negligence by oceangate, you still present their flaws respectfully without trying to ridicule. Great video!!!
