As construction projects go, this one is pretty ballsy! So many obstacles to work out. Extremely tight spaces, endless safety concerns. Next generation train tech. This one has it all and then some. Good effort by all to get it done though and ensure Sydney is fit for the future.
Oh dear....How ever will they do it? Sounds like an insurmountable task!! Especially considering that in addition to all the impossible challenges they've created, it's all UPSIDE DOWN too!!

If shanghai bejjing built 1000 km metro rail tokyo total rail network 3500 km seoul also has 1000 km network nothing is impossible though East Asian countries are crazy subway makers Australia will do just fine
Love episodes like these Love from Zimbabwe
Great overview of an amazing project!! Thank you!!
Brilliant. Looking forward to ep 2!
Very, very interesting. A project that will transform Sydney for the next 200 years. Bigger and more grand than London's ambitious and difficult Crossrail or one American city's transport system that I forget the location of. I just wish my adopted country of Portugal had such vision whilst trying to decide where to site its new Lisbon airport.
Oh great, drama documentary. No need for the sound effects this is interesting enough by it's self.
I love this documentary
My first time in the channel, and what do I find, an amazing documentary series. Awesome 👍
I am truly facinated by this amount of work that it is coordinated like and carried out like a puzzle. 🫣😬🤩🤩
Interesting documentary but would be more enjoyable without all the unnecessary dramatic effects

It is an interesting documentary but the narrator is a little over dramatic at times.

If you didn't know it: but they are facing huge time pressure all the time and everything needs to be done ultra precisely with zero error or margin of tolerance and if only one guy misses a drop taking a piss - the whole thing will collapse and the world will come to an end :-)

At times like these that working men are in their element and are truly appreciated. No matter what the feminist will have you believe.
Cool

Africa has mega projects, not as many sure but look at the Ethiopian Dam project, or even Nigerias plan to turn their coastal area into a whole new city, built from out of the water up.

Lots of work for people
I didn't even know Australia had trains, I figured everyone rode around on kangaroos or in Maloos. /s

Wondered why they didn’t remove tunnel spoil by rail instead of trucks? This must have been considered.

Same thing happened in Cincinnati for basically the same reasons as for the abandoned subway
Still the UK
top notch presentation - really enjoyed it
The good think about the Chinese is that they finish their profects ahead of time so the prize doesn't skyrocket unlike the uk when making a project like the new high speed line from London to Manchester that cost 40 billion pounds but because we add incompetent leader its now about double digits and they add to cut cost like some infrastructure projects was abolished because government doesn't have any money
why can you make the TBM machine?
When the $$$ are not a problem....

As fascinating as this project is, I've stopped watching simply because of the endless suggestions of what might go wrong. Guys, these are professionals, they know what they're doing. Whoever thought presenting like this draws extra viewers? There is so much more interesting info that could've been talked about. Shame....
Continued Sea level rise......below sea level train station....very very optimistic....hmmm
12 building destroyed when the is a huge park over the road
26 mins in to episode 1 and I'm seeing one clear difference with uk construction projects. No mention of delays No mention of over budget No mention of safety failings No mention of brexit or covid How sadly refreshing

Silly, shouty, over-machismo VO -- "tough, getting things done agains the odds etc. etc." too much for a documentary, it sounds like a movie promo.
No one from Norway on this project??
Why would you load excavation material in trucks and sent them true traffic in the city, if you are excavating right next to a train track. Wouldn’t it be less disruptive for the city traffic to use rail to shunt your material in and out, in stead of road 🤷♂️

I wants to relocate from Ghana to Australia and seek asylum there. Any help?
Great Video, but Gloria, needs to go back and do her health and saftery course again, look at her long locks of hair swaying around in a building site, a disaster waiting to happen.... 9:45
Don’t you guys have a rat problem. Not a good idea your just adding more rats nest
It's an interesting engineering program but the narration! THE NARRATION CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS OVERACTING! AT ITS FINEST!!! IN THE WORLD! EVER! (DRAMATIC MUSIC WORTHY OF A HORROR FILM). I wish I could turn off the narrator and watch thru subtitled or else have this dubbed by someone who isn't overacting
Gloria fernandez is so beautiful :) is she single?
