Mega Machines: Taming Mechanical Giants | FD Engineering

Huge tools make possible in a few days or hours what used to take hundreds of workers weeks or months.
They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. With courage and sure instinct, they control machines weighing tons with millimetre precision. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such mega-aggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is world-famous. Men & Machines shows why. Get a glimpse into the production halls of these machines and see engineering at its best.
00:00 Mole of Steel
We visit the construction site of the Albvorlandtunnel between Stuttgart and Ulm in Germany, where two huge tunnel drilling machines are used.
00:46:08 Mobile Monster Cranes
Without the one-armed giants, nothing works on major construction sites. We take a look at cranes. With a 100 metre long telescopic boom and a maximum load capacity of 1200 tonnes, the nine-axle LTM 11200-9.1 is particularly suitable for the construction of wind turbines.

This was the best explanation ever! About standards of measure vs. a bunch a bologni.

These big machines are always interesting to watch. With their size, the work that they do surely follows.

Great advancement on crane technology. As an elevator engineer I've enjoyed this very much, thanks.

LOL, love the safety guy retrieving the Strobe Light (they call it a flood light 🤔) and climbing the wrong side of the ladder, guess they don't have OSHA over there?

Very detailed video. Looking at the wall where the concrete segments were installed, the surface didn't look like stone or rock. It almost looked like a steel sheath. I thought the segments were placed directly over the rock or stone surface. Amazing that engineers can design and build these tunnels.

What if these machine TBM is built with high pressure water cutting technology?

@petercrossley1069 8 ай бұрын

It’s not called “slag”. It is “waste”. Slag is the residue from metal refining.

@kybar7055 3 ай бұрын

Many industries use the same words for similar things, for example in flux core and arc welding, slag refers to the material that covers the weld from the melted protective coating on the wire that produces the covering gas. In terms of TBMs they call the rocks and materials removed slag, often because it isn’t waste it can be used in other applications

Great job Eva and awesome name! My significant other has the same name and we also have an employee named Eva! I'm not going to get brownie points for this comment as I used to watch your dad's channel when he was demoing the RK tractors. In hindsight, I wish your dad would have named his channel like Morgan Firewood or something as I watched hoping to learn about them before making a purchase. The videos really turned me off about RK tractors and was looks more for agricultural use not firewood processing. So I ended up buying a different brand and what a mistake! So I sold it and talked to Rural King and told them I saw your review them and he really didn't work them. Long story short they let me demo a RK25 for 6 months and ended buying it along with an RK 37 a short time later. I quit watching his channel when the deal came to an end and I knew he would scrap the deal. I told my local dealer it was a bad deal and they should have picked someone else or found some KZfaqrs who really put them to the test and showed agricultural use and others, not just firewood processing. You dad's review caused me to think RK tractors were subpar tractors, which I discovered the exact opposite! 😉👍👍 I'm also pleasantly not to find a ton safety police and do-gooder comments. Or people commenting about not putting the boom down when you got out. It's good to be safe but sometimes to much safety or being over cautious leads to unsafe situations. I have done heavy highway/civil construction for 35 yrs and seen accidents where if operators didn't jump clear of a machine they would have be seriously injured worse or killed. I've also had my own experiences. Use use common sense and as you start your channel don't worry about the safety police. They just help your views, comments and the algorithm! Great job your first time! All the best and wishing you much success with college and your channel!

32:50 This saint lends the miners her ear because the work is hard. Okay, but everyone ive seen on this project is just standing around, the guy who drives the TBM sits in an air conditioned shipping container with good lighting, and a swivel chair, and even the people running dozers and excavators have air conditioned cabs. So mining is not hard work. Some mining is, but this is not hard work

@halifornia2001 9 ай бұрын

Love when some armchair "expert" watches a documentary and declares "Those jobs aren't hard! THOSE PEOPLE ARE LAZY!" Man, you must seriously be educated on these jobs, and know exactly what their day is like, what risks they take, how many hours they work, what kind of tasks they're responsible for, and all that good stuff. I salute you sir. You are a certified GENIUS.

These machines are typically bespoke made for a project and scrapped after.

@MGower4465 8 ай бұрын

Most TBMs never dig a second. Some literally dig the tunnel, then dig their own grave. At least one TBM is still under the English Channel, left over from the Chunnel. To save time on very long tunnels, like the Gotthard Tunnel, TBMs start on each end and drive straight toward each other. Know what a TBM doesn't have? Reverse. So eventually one has to angle off to the side and park permanently while the other goes past it , is partially broken up, and out the tunnel the other one dug. Once the tunnel lining is put up by the 2nd machine, the first is walled off and inaccessible even for scrapping.

@@MGower4465 I was unaware of that sir thank you for the info judging by the way you were talking you have some experience I’d love to hear more why do they just abandoned the machines are the cutters to expensive to replace is moving the machine too costly I’m genuinely curious
