Isambard Kingdom Brunel's most famous invention was the steamship called the SS Great Britain. It was the first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, revolutionizing the maritime industry. The SS Great Britain set new standards for speed and efficiency, marking a significant milestone in the history of transportation.
Following is one quote from Isambard Kingdom Brunel: [I am] opposed to the laying down of rules or conditions to be observed in the construction of bridges lest the progress of improvement tomorrow might be embarrassed or shackled by recording or registering as law the prejudices or errors of today. - Isambard Kingdom Brunel speaking to the 1847 Commission set up after the collapse of the River Dee [Bridge] The convoluted language of this quote is rather old-fashioned to us. The basic point is -- don't let your building codes get out-of-date.
The council recognized Isambard Kingdom Brunel as a pivotal figure between 1806 and 1859 due to his groundbreaking contributions to engineering and infrastructure. His innovative designs, such as the Great Western Railway and the Great Eastern ship, revolutionized transportation and boosted economic growth. Brunel's ability to combine practicality with visionary engineering set new standards in construction and design, making him a key figure in the Industrial Revolution. His work not only enhanced connectivity but also showcased Britain's engineering prowess on a global stage.
The federal government established new regulations governing banks and set up the FDIC to protect the savings of depositors if a bank should fail A vast array of public works and jobs programs were started up. The social security system was set up to force people to save for retirement and provide payments for people who became disabled.

You cannot "invent" a tunnel. You can plan it, and construct it. Both these activities involved thousands of workers. There have been many proposals to build a Channel Tunnel. The two governments (France and the UK) held a competition for the best proposal, and then a company was set up to build it. The successor to that company (called "Eurotunnel") now owns and operates the tunnel. You cannot say that one person invented the Channel Tunnel.
