Brunel set the standard for a very well built railway, using careful surveys to minimise grades and curves. This necessitated expensive
Though Brunel's projects were not always successful, they often contained innovative solutions to long-standing engineering problems. During his short career, Brunel achieved many engineering "firsts", including assisting in the building of the first tunnel under a and development of , the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship, which was at the time (1843) also the largest ship ever built.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, ( ; 9 April 1806 – 15 September 1859), was an English and who built dockyards, the , a series of steamships including the first propeller-driven transatlantic steamship and numerous important bridges and tunnels. His designs revolutionised public transport and modern engineering.
