This video shows the versatility of the Zipper truck system. We are able to create tunnels with openings very quickly with no permanent support work. This arch can be used as a mining reclaim tunnel or storage vault with top access.
Update: February 19, 2015. I'd like to thank EVERYONE for their interest and great comments and suggestions regarding our brand new system. If you're a loader operator in the Cascadia area near Vancouver, BC or anywhere else in North America, we'd like to hear from you. We're looking for Engineers with experience in compressive structure design who are familiar with finite element analysis. We can provide drafted digitally protected versions of the entire system for you to play with. If you are interested, please contact us through our website at www.LockBlock.com
P.S. The loader operator's head has probably grown about 50 sizes thanks to all of your wonderful comments. In addition, the cowboy hat is a safety rated hard hat.

I want to thank you for explaining and answering questions people asked along with your time doing so. Your very professional yet patient enough to talk to us in away we can understand unlike some others. Thank You

LOVED it. Then drove to the top. I love it when a good plan goes together... Of course finding the "good" ones is the trick. Well done! Thanks for the video.

+peterpurpose Agreed. I imagine the back hoe operator and the signaler have to have a pretty good understanding with each other too.

That's some really impressive work there. Having the escavator drive up onto the tunnel arch at the end was a great demonstration of the tunnel's strength.

Thank you very much. We're quite amazed at how well the structure performs. The keys between blocks have taken the traditional arch and made it that much stronger.

@doubleg137 9 жыл бұрын

mibars depends on whats going to go over it, what the tunnel is used for and what the existing condition is. Sometimes a prefab tunnel is the way to go. I love the fact that they have the excavator sitting on top of the arch just after they constructed it.

Impressive!$ Men can build heavy machinery and use it for so many different things...they do, and undo, replace, place, and displace as wanted, or needed. It amazes the heck out of me, but man cannot create peace, love, and stability in our own world...Thanks for sharing this stupendous work of art.

Impressive system, like the way you thought it all through. I was also impressed that even with the back fill not compacted that the machine didn't increase the thrust to the point that the springing spread apart. But then, the voussoir's are probably over specified and with the cost of the raw materials why the bloody hell not !

It's really fascinating that there does not appear to be any kind of fasteners from block to block and it is just friction and gravity keeping them together. With a little modifications to the process, this would be a cool way to build under ground houses...
