This series of construction videos is some of the most interesting content I've seen on the Practical Engineering (or in this case, also branded as Practical Construction) channel. Highly recommended to watch on Nebula.

Keep up the great work, Grady!

They are indeed great. There's something about the competence and skill with which the operators - each in his trade - go about their business, and how the miriad parts come together, that is fascinating.-

The Marti group has some very interesting videos about rail tunnels. Some are also in English. https://youtube.com/@martigroup?si=zmrJ4mZOM82BTKfS

Pretty cool!

One thing that fascinated me working for a sanitation district was that we had some huge pumping stations like this, but hiding in plain sight.

There would be a metal vault cover in the sidewalk, it opens up to a stairwell, then you walk downstairs to a massive concrete wet well and pumping station under the street.

I had no idea they were even there, but they are, especially in urban areas.

It's a lot cheaper to build them above ground, but they did what they had to to move sewage.
