How the Channel Tunnel was Built
The Channel Tunnel is one of the largest engineering ventures ever in the UK. Taking over five years to complete, with roughly 13,000 workers from England and France working together to complete the vision. It was such a task to take on that the tunnel is now one of the seven wonders of the modern world. However, the grand scale of the project is largely forgotten, from the machines used, to how deep they ventured.
Today, as hundreds of passengers take the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle under the Channel, it can be easy to forget this astonishing and unique man-made structure. This Eurotunnel Le Shuttle infographic runs through how the tunnel was created with tunnel boring machines, the size of the project, how many family pets have been under the channel and the volume of traffic, which travels through on a daily basis.
