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.
