20,000 PIPES KEEP THIS RAILWAY FROM SINKING! 🇨🇳 #tibet #china #shorts

How do engineers stop a railway from sinking into frozen ground? 🇨🇳🚆 China’s Qinghai–Tibet Railway crosses the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau, where permafrost can thaw, soften the ground, and destabilize railway foundations. Engineers use innovative solutions, including thermosyphon cooling pipes, embankments, and specialized ground-stabilization techniques to help keep the frozen soil cold and the railway stable. From extreme cold and thin air to one of the world’s highest railway routes, discover the incredible engineering that keeps trains moving across the Roof of the World. 🏔️⚙️ 🚀 Subscribe to The Engineering Codex for incredible megaprojects, giant machines, and engineering secrets from around the world.
