Le tunnel sous la Manche (l'Eurotunnel)
Il y a deux siècles, naissait l'idée de construire un lien fixe entre La France et la Grande Bretagne. Une première tentative de forage fut lancée en 1880 puis abandonnée deux ans plus tard sous la pression des Anglais qui se mirent à craindre d'hypothétiques invasions… Il a fallu attendre 1986 pour que les deux pays s'accordent enfin et que soit définitivement mise en œuvre la construction du tunnel. Fred, Jamy et Sabine nous expliquent tout sur la construction et le fonctionnement du tunnel sous la Manche.
Pourquoi a-t-on construit le tunnel ? Comment a-t-on choisi son emplacement ? Pourquoi a-t-on foré la couche de craie bleue plutôt que la partie argileuse ? Comment les trains circulent-ils sous le tunnel ? Comment peut-on dévier les trains d'un tunnel à l'autre ? Comment évite-t-on les collisions ? Comment assure-t-on la ventilation au quotidien et comment fait-on en cas d'incendie pour éviter que la fumée ne se répande ?
