What if I told you that 80 m below the returns in London?

U K There is a monster machine learning a tunnel called the Super Super as we speak.

Imagine all those people right now walking alongside the River Thames,

taking pictures of the Big Ben inside the

London I or walking across the Tower Bridge,

and they have absolutely no idea that it's happening underneath them,

and it genuinely is. This engineering marvelous, called Tied to a tunnel

tunnel is a £4 billion project that has been created by

economical investors and engineers to help improve managed waterways in London.

You see any type of waterways throws directly into the tens,

and this is happening because London currently relies

on a 150 year old Victorian sewage system.

That

and in the river, it's not that hygienic, is it.

And that's also the reason why the terms so dirty.

It's not a type of river that you'd like to jump into for a swim on a really hot day.

I mean,

I wouldn't Therefore,

the Tide tunnel is being creative so that one day

any type of waterways will flow through the Super Store,

leaving the tens and London safer and cleaner.

Let's dive into the project a little deeper, shall we?

The title tunnel project is described as a labyrinth of interconnected tunnels,

and one day all these tunnels will connect.

Creating a twenty-five kilometers long super super was quite long.

This project started in Twenty-eleven when cultural

competencies demonstrated as construction companies Morgan,

Single Bar Betty and Band Little came together and tackle the issue head on.

These English,

Dutch and French companies show the International

International showed that internationalizing projects not only

helps investment benefits but also encourages people

to work together for the best outcome possible

and in this case, is helping the planet. Water waste management isn't that great.

In order to create the Super Super,

a drill has to be used and this is where busy Busy comes in.

Busy, Busy was a custom-made

drill to suit the construction site in London. She was made in Germany.

Then she was transported along the river and the river running to

write it down and then across the North Sea to Tilbury.

It took around 60 Lorries to carry her piece by piece to London.

When she was lowered under the River Thames 80 m and assemble together.

Busy, busy is 120 m long and has a diameter of 8 88 m.

Here is a picture to put it into perspective.

Well, that's what I meant by a monster machine.

Busy busy started drilling in February 2012, where she would draw around 70 m a day.

The machine mixes talk and water together for every meter that is dug,

which then creates a strong substance around the town

of the tunnels diameter and that keeps everything from collapsing

down

and eventually, any type of waterways more flow through that tunnel.

Since

we started the project that have been many more drills, introduce

interestingly, they all have female names.

They all are female, which I think is quite, uh, empowering thing for women that

multiple machines can be women as well.

Yeah, as I said,

these tunnels all have to be created through these these machines so

that one day they can all be connected to create this monster tunnel

so that any sewage will flow directly through this sewage instead

of the terms which will be so much more cleaner.

Hence why it's called the

tunnels

this project is a major, and the funny thing is, hardly anyone knows about it.

If you would ask 20 people in London,

do you know that underneath the terms there's massive services and being created?

They'd be like,

No,

because nobody knows what's happening and it's not because it's a

secret, but it's it's just not known. It's kind of strange.

One thing I genuinely love about this, this project.

It brings women and men together in the construction world.

Not only is that one benefit, but this project has had many benefits come from it.

Many jobs have been created

and it's been a it's created a new foundation for solving waterways issues.

Before this, this this was hardly known so that this

it's just

amazing that

now it's 20 twenty-two,

but that this this idea has been created by such intelligent people

to conclude there hasn't been any direct result yet because this project is

still in progress and it's not due to be finished until 20 Twenty-five.

But

this is the start of a brand new ever in water waste management.

And once this up and running,

this is going to be the world's biggest sewage sewage

system and an exemplary for the rest of the world.

I think it's amazing that London's, uh,

been able to be part of that. And once,

yes,

proven itself.

I'm sure many other countries and many other

investment cos economical investment companies will soon follow.

I'm definitely excited to see what kind of, um outcome there's gonna be.

I think there's a strong, positive outcome and

I'm most interested to see if there

is going to get a bit cleaner clearer. I think it would be quite interesting to see,

but this has been a major

water waste project that hardly anyone knows of.

So let's see what that's gonna happen in 20 Twenty-five. I'm looking forward to it.
