Tunnels whose "safety is certified" by TÜV SÜD which certified the Brazil mining dam

Tunnels tüvsüd

I cannot believe it. Indeed TÜV SÜD also certifies tunnels. Among them are very very critical tunnels. I hope they are properly checking the safety in those tunnels, considering what happened in Brazil...

Their web site lists some tunnels (screenshot)

Here is the list of tunnels whose "safety certified" by TÜV SÜD:

Turkey: MARMARAY TUNNEL ISTANBUL

website says ' Our colleague Dr. Valentina Monaco from TÜV SÜD Rail is responsible for safety on the project.'

You know what? This is mostly not a bored tunnel but a submerged one. It was built by a Japanese company. I hope TÜV SÜD is doing their job correctly.... Damn!

    This damages German workmanship. First the 'German cheat' (Volkswagen's diesel scandal) and then this TUV SUD dam blast in Brazil.
