Vocês engenheiros são incríveis. Seu pai e seu avô fizeram um trabalho maravilhoso na estrada de ferro da Bahia ao Rio São Francisco. Eu sinto muito por não ter a oportunidade de ter viajado e nestes trilhos. Cresci viajando nos trens do Subúrbio de Salvador, onde a viajem era da Calçada até Paripe. Para tentar reviver o passado, tenho procurado na internet fotos e vídeos e é cada encanto, cada momento interessante que ouso imaginar. Muito obrigado por postar o vídeo!!! Continuarei procurando fotos e vídeos das antiga linha de trem da Bahia ao São Francisco.
I have high admiration for the British and London for its remarkable engineering that paved the way for the modern world. The British are the pioneers to essentially all of the foundation of modern engineering, and their ingenuity is unquestionable. I imagine the world without London would arguably still might not reach the modern era.
I'm a retired civil engineer and I can say this if a fantastic facility with a large number of complexities all resolved. To those who generously contribute to the RNLI , may you hopefully never need their services but know they would move heaven and earth to save you.
From here in the States we say "Bravo" for an absolutely excellent job accomplished. Thanks for this very professionally presented video and thanks for sharing and the very best of luck!
I was very lucky & was treated to a free meal on 34th floor (revolving bit) last November 2024, I’d been waiting 50years to fulfil that dream, best evening & experience of my life so far. It’s now sadly been sold to an American hotel group.
What an appallingly amateur video. Overloud music, hesitant presenter, uninformative from a technical standpoint. A dreadful advert for the professionalism of ICE, you should be ashamed.
Liverpool ferries do, (or did?) trips on the whole length of the canal and bus you back. A good day out for canal & ship enthusiasts, if the sun shines.?
I was hoping for more construction details from the ICE (how is the section sealing done, how is expansion managed? How does the support below the trough work? What are the loading margins? Turn out wikipedia has much better info (although it could do with some drawings)
I remember the decommissioning process from the land side. A colleague of mine was in a boat in the North Sea with a video and still cameras, filming the refloat. He and another colleague had set up the telecommunication link to shore which we had access to. The video feed was streamed live to the platform operators and later on, I joined all the still photographs into a simple animated GIF file to give a time lapse video of the operation. Both videos are probably saved on a secure server somewhere. I believe that some of the decommissioned structure was 'chopped up' and now forms the base of a harbour that was constructed in a Norwegian fjord. I believe that the engineer who devised this refloating approach to a new oil rig was also involved in the plans for it's decommissioning decades later.
I Inspected most of the steel plate that was formed at CBI in Gelsenkirchen and sent to Scotland to be welded together for the 3 tanks then I was sent to Perrin Valves near Frankfurt am Main to oversee the fire safe valves production, testing, delivery, etc also I Inspected the towing cables and connections so I was kept pretty busy ! You are correct, I heard from a Norwegian guy that one of the tanks had been sunk as a protective reef in the Norwegian fijord. It was always a mystery as to why the British government did not insist that the Steel plates and Pipe be sourced from UK Steelworks / Pipemills, instead of Hoesch, Mannesmann and Thyssen in Germany.
