Type WICE Project Tunnel boring machines Make digging tunnels much easier by using mechanics rather than pick axe The first tunnelling machine was designed by engineer Marc Brunel (son of Isambard) in the 19th century. It was used to help build the Thames tunnel in 1843 – the first under a river. Brunel’s invention was basically an iron fr… Date 20 June 2023
Type Webinar Spillway design and inspection - Some practical guidance This presentation will outline the hydraulic and other factors needed for the sound design of spillway chutes. This will focus mostly on concrete chutes and on both rock and soil foundations. It will also touch briefly on stepped masonry chutes and on the selection of terminal, energy dissipation st…
