OOH! Practical Construction AND Railroads?! Sweet. As always with your videos, I learned answers to questions I would never even have imagined.
Also, even though I'm 63, big machines are always a pleasure to watch. It brings me back to when I was a small kid in the 1960s and Interstate 94 was slammed through the part of St. Paul where I lived. The corridor for the freeway ran parallel to the street I lived on and was only 4 blocks from my house. My many brothers and I spent loads of time watching the coordinated process over two years. (We were excited and fascinated, and of course were unaware of the controversy about building these blocks-wide barriers right through the poorest neighborhoods of cities across the whole country.)
A few years later, Richard Scarry's 'Cars and Trucks and Things That Go' came out, and even though I was a bit old for it (I was nine at the time), I loved reading it to the boys I babysat on the other side of my block, and still loved it decades later when I'd read it with my own boy. Your videos give me the same sense of wonder -- and fun! -- at the design, engineering, and building of large things. And your camera work on these construction projects, from wide shots with a drone to cameras dropping into water-dug pits, is fantastic!

As someone who manages the design of projects exactly like this for railroads across the country, I can say that this video is packed with a ton of information. This was such a good example to use to highlight all the considerations, systems, and techniques that make up a construction project like this.

12:15 looks like some workers signed the water pipe before inserting. That's cute :) It's a fun thought, thinking that below earth, there are tons of signatures from workers installing critical infrastructure ^_^

I work at a power plant that used to be coal fired but switched to natural gas. Getting the pipe line there was amazing. It had to go under a subyard, under a river, up through a side of a mountain & pop up in a field a long way off. The drill bit came out within 1 ft of where they planned. I was amazed how they were able to do that! I get worried when I have to drill through a wall hoping I come out on the other side in the right spot.

Thanks again, Crystal Clear SUD and AGP for having me on site. How are you liking the construction videos? š” Don't forget to give Brilliant a shot at brilliant.org/PracticalEngineering
