00:15Ladies and gentlemen, to the future. To the tunnel. Here, cheers. Winch 3, check tension
00:25on the main cable. We are ready for deployment. Tension is nominal. Lowering the fish.
00:39The microfossils confirm the Senamanian stage. So the chalk marl is stable enough for the TBMs.
01:05We must ensure the TBM specifications match the 7.6 meter cross-section exactly. The central tunnel at 0.8
01:11meters.
01:11Shut up.
01:25Pay close attention to the hydraulic pressure gauges when engaging the cutter head.
01:29Any fluctuation above the red line means immediate shutdown.
01:41We need final confirmation from the coast. The seismic data looks clear but cross-reference
01:46with the French survey immediately. We can't afford delays.
01:51This marks the official star of the tunnel. This marks the official star of the project.
01:57We're clear on this side. Take it down slowly now. Watch your mark.
02:05Watch the clearance on the hydraulics. Bring it down easy. Steady, steady. We're almost seated.
02:37Keep an eye on that roller bearing. It's running hot. Yeah, I see the vibration. We'll report it at the
02:42next stop.
02:53We've passed the 15-kilometre mark. Yes, but the pressure readings are fluctuating near the fault line.
03:252.1 meters. Under 1 meter now. 9 tenths. 0.1. We're nearly through.
03:35There it is! We did it! Yes! Bravo! Bravo!
03:41Check the alignment on segment 42. Measuring now, we have a 20-millimeter variance.
03:46With intolerance, but let's monitor the ingress here.
03:49The laser scanner reading on segment 42 is fluctuating.
03:52Noted. The thermal readings look stable though.
03:55Check the bolts on the overhead hanger. The service tunnel is complete. We move to the main drives now.
04:00Wait! And the schedule for the TBMs is fixed.
04:05Check the radius here. Make sure it matches the spec.
04:08Looks good. Right on the mark. Keep going with the orange.
04:13Bring that segment down slowly. Roger that. Watching the alignment now.
04:29All right. Push it tight. Watch the line. Clear. Hit the hydraulics.
04:53All right. Push it tight. Watch the line. Clear. Hit the hydraulics.
05:06We have a high pressure reading here. See that spike? Yeah. I'm adjusting the thrust.
05:10Let's see if we can stabilize the face.
05:21We're showing less than a meter remaining. Confirmed, sir. The gyroscopic readings are stable.
05:26We have final alignment within the specified tolerances. Laser reads plus five millimeters
05:31at the crown. Confirmed. We're well within tolerance. I'll log that now. Slack on line two.
05:40Hold it. We got an obstruction on the left side.
05:45We need to ensure the cable trays are aligned precisely along this curve.
05:49Absolutely. The overhead line equipment needs a clean run before the tracks arrive.
05:54Make sure that overlap is tight. Yeah. I'm getting the sealant right in the seam now.
06:17Pressure holds steady across all nozzles. The flow rate matches the design specifications.
06:25Lift it slowly. Watch the clearance on the right. Looks good here. Bring it closer.
06:31We need that sealant applied now.
06:41Okay. Try the power now. Reading 500 lux perfectly aligned. Move to the next one.
06:50Installation of the concrete surfacing is critical for the service tunnel roadway.
06:53Note the drainage channels at the invert edges and the organized utility corridors. Make sure the torque is
06:59set correctly on that bracket. It's calibrated. The extinguisher is secured.
07:05Check the cant on the left rail. Reading at 20 millimeters.
07:11All right. Tighten the clips.
07:21Testing fire suppression override. Sector 3. Confirm activation status.
07:26Received control. Sector 3 suppression active. Look at the stabilization here. The structural response is
07:33well within tolerance. Yes. The PTV values are exactly what we expected. Attention.
07:45All systems green across the board. Alignment is spot on. Fantastic. I think it's safe to say
07:52we are ready for handover. Control. This is the locomotive. We have successful catenary engagement.
07:57Confirmed locomotive. All systems green. Proceed with the test run.
08:02Train one. Confirm stabilization at point four. All systems indicate green.
08:07Affirmative. Control. Maintaining speed.
08:18Emergency. Emergency. Please proceed to the nearest exit.
08:23Okay, everyone. This way. Follow the lights. Quickly now. Check the pressure differential in section three.
08:28Acknowledged. The heat load is stabilizing faster than projected.
08:33That's the last section. Polished.
08:37Excellent work. She's ready for the queen.
08:41We declare the channel tunnel officially open.
08:49The first passenger train departs, marking a new era of connection between Britain and France.
08:57The first Coming.
08:57STAFF Cuz.
08:57We.
