Another picture of the high quality muskrete used in the tunnel: (stolen from the GBS Groverhaus thread)  Lol at the loving tarp on the bottom of the tunnel just weighed down with a chunk of concrete which probably fell out of the walls. Also, looks like the car's about to drive right into whatever that thing in the bottom left is.

The concrete in that tunnel is loving embarrassing. Like, genuinely shameful. Either Elon and his cronies are too loving stupid to notice, or it's another grift for clueless investor money, although experience tells me it's actually both of those things.

So he went with his in-house people, the same people who designed the pedo tube. Hasn't LA had a similar rise in construction in the past 2-3 years, similarly to what's happening in Seattle? If that's the case, most likely the qualified people were busy making concrete for people who pay on time. It's a thing I've heard my foreman buddy complain about, how hard concrete is to get right, and how often it can delay large scale projects.

i figure they hired some new grads or something, maybe had a booth at a local career fair to *~get a chance to work with the man himself~* (for way below market) but that poo poo would never ever pass qc for anyone with real construction administration experience i'm curious if they actually have a structural guy on staff with a stamp, it seems really unlikely

Now, I realize we’re in an age when the tweets of billionaires should be taken with a grain of salt. At first, The Boring Company really did seem like a joke, stemming from nothing but Elon Musk’s tweet about how he was frustrated with Los Angeles traffic. At the time, he also tweeted, “I am actually going to do this.” So I called CalTrans (the California Department of Transportation), which manages the state highway system, to ask if any such construction was in the works near California freeways. The CalTrans representative was as confused as I was and said he’d look into it. An hour and a half later, he called me back and said he had no idea what Musk was talking about. But just a month later, when I was in LA for a Hyperloop competition on the SpaceX campus, a large hole was clearly being dug in the employee parking lot. In his remarks that day, Musk confirmed the construction was to test out a tunnel-digging project. from last year btw any tunnel project in california requires caltrans review and approval

Caltrans officials haven’t been notified of any long-range tunnel plans to dig under the 105 Freeway that cuts through Hawthorne, said Caltrans spokesman Peter Jones. Such a project would be highly regulated and require a slew of approvals and permits. “Something like that is a huge undertaking. There would be a bunch of different agencies involved,” Jones said. “To dig a tunnel under a freeway, you have to think about space, air quality and environmental issues. You’d need a geological study. “I’m hoping we would know about something being built under a freeway.” lol

A project of this nature probably also needed environmental (CA regulations may be different if the project was 100% privately funded), storm/drainage and possibly ROW impacts though deep tunnels get to bypass a lot of that poo poo. And that’s just for the tunnel itself, anything involving the actual rail system or whatever the gently caress they use is its own beast. I’m licensed in Ohio and looked at getting reciprocity in CA but I didn’t have any of the seismic poo poo needed. To be fair, the license just means you own the design so if/when it fucks up you’re the one that gets sued.

i took the 8 hour test, passed it, took the seismic test, failed it, and got a PE from a cheaper, easier state lol obviously i don't build poo poo, it's really for the resume. i probably won't ever use the stamp, maybe on statement to a court of law or something. apparently that makes it look more authoritative to the judge or some poo poo. oh, and for endorsing other people's PE applications
