Description

See how a massive tunnel boring machine operates to create new routes. This breakdown explains the engineering behind the project. We examine the large-scale process of underground construction used in this Virginia project. The video covers how these machines navigate complex soil and geology to establish critical transit projects that connect the city. By analyzing the map of tunnel routes and lengths in Norfolk, we gain insight into the planning required for such major Norfolk infrastructure updates. Aerial views provide a clear look at the scale of this work relative to the city landscape. Subscribe for weekly infrastructure breakdowns, and comment on which city project you want to see analyzed next.
