Engineering Marvels: How Were These 3 Massive Super Structures built? | Super Structures | Progress
00:00 Kansai International Airport
Located on an artificial island in the middle of Osaka Bay, Kansai International Airport is not only one of the busiest airports in Japan, but also a true engineering marvel. The construction of this airport presented many challenges, from building what was at the time the worlds largest artificial island, to designing the airport to withstand earthquakes and typhoons common in the area.

Hats off to the engineers, who developed and saw this through amazing work, well done ladies and gentlemen, well done
Excellent work done. Congratulations Wonderful.
Thanks for sharing those insights, really good to hear and inspirational. Love your plans, maybe one day we will get to visit you. All the very best with your future plans. Hope we see you in NZ some day soon. Stay safe. Cheers Mark
I remember recording this onto VHS back in like, 1998.. 0.0
Geezer.
Be kind, rewind. Lol
Increíble engineering feat.
Engineering, the life enjoyed today, it is a result of amazing knowledge and true spirit of humanity --- as humans, we must live in peace and harmony and continue to do amazing things, we can't stop.
Facts
Yet net zero will drive us back to the Middle Ages
This is something extraordinary !
Truely a masterpiece!
Wow very nice Ilove Japan ❤❤❤
This is an engineering marvel.
51:06 Loved him with Stan Laurel.
Japan was up to this challenge because it's Japan! I respect their ability to say yes, not no.
Just to remind: Project is from the famous Italian architect RENZO PIANO.
WOW @ New Tube construction!
Many power plants evaporate water into steam that spins the turbines. That water is distilled. Why aren’t we using that water in combined power and water plants? It seems so obvious but I’ve never heard that explained.
That water is what you see billowing out of chimneys. Its steam. Im convinced that most greenies think its smoke as you see those images frequently in environmental sob stories.
Plenty of that water most everywhere ,why pay when free .
It's amazing !!!
To be not forgotten despite not mentioned: Osaka airport project is from the famous Italian architect RENZO PIANO. Cheers
So many years ago Mayor Daily in Chicago planned to replace O'Hare airport with a brand new airport just one mile off the Chicago Loop in Lake Michigan. The new "island" would be built with the residue of Chicago's trash which would be formed into bricks measuring 40" x 20" x 20". Set in a large rectangle, then filled with sand pumped in from surrounding lake bottom. Eventually the project stalled, amid many complaints of fraud, mismanagement, etc.
Oh Fuck Me :(
They need to place air ballasts under the base of the island then inflate them to properly stop the sinking of the island. it would not be easy but effective
Surely...im assuming you've done it before?
THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS THE GREATEST WONDER OF THE WORLD FAR GREATER THEN THE PYRAMIDS,FAR GREATER THEN THE SEVEN WONDERS,GREATER THEN SPACE TRAVEL.
Yes Paul been to Istambul airport last June new one
LoL nice one. ..but we also wanted to see you travelling to New York 😢
gOOD JOB dELmONTE
The Flevopolder is the largest man made island, and in Dubai I think those islands are also larger. Still an incredible technological accomplishment, especially in deep waters.
Seems like an old video to me.
60’ isn’t considered “deep waters” there bud…
One of the 7 wonders of the world 🌎,
wow
Export the Quantum, Chat GPT, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Inventor, ENGI file of the Building or Refinery to Excel, prepare Budget 1 and export it to COBRA. Prepare Budg-et 2 and export it to Microsoft Project. Solve the problems of Overallocated Resources, Planning Problems, prepare the Budget 3 with which the construction of the Building or the Refinery is going to be quoted.
so how come NORAD never went after the chinese balloon that travel across the US coast to coast?
NORAD was shut down by Bill Clinton. Cheyenne Mountain was mothballed and later sold to the Iron Mountain group to use as a document storage facility for corporations.
The deep state and the democRats are in the middle of a coup. With china's help!
NORAD did send aircraft to intercept the ballon, they’re job isn’t to go after the threat but to send it
One earthquake, gone!!
All these tunnels and underground travel seem so advanced and progressive yet in true essense is like living like animals burrowing underground because of lack of space above ground. Its no wonder you all sat and devided Africa and till now wont let go of her
my Grandfather worked on the DEW line
And to think that a present generation doesn’t know, or even bother to care about the infrastructure of the past, and the past generations being aware that shit can get real in an alert.
Its just like Hong Kongs Chep Lap Kok airport, where they levelled an island to make way of the construction, and built a double decker bridge to connect it
1:47:25 it all went “wrong” on 9/11 due to training “exercises”
Did anyone think to attach some large flotation tanks to the island with the sinking airport?
lol
Reverse the ventillation fans to keep radiation out. Calling bullshit on that one

We must never forget that The Soviets put missiles on Cuba because the US put missiles on Soviet borders first.... Nor should we forget that the US actually put troops on the ground in Russia in the 1920s, along with Britain Australia and other countries..
The U.S. put missiles in Italy and Turkey as a deterrent to Soviet invasion of their NATO allies. Soviet invasion of Western Europe, preventing that invasion, and the ability to respond to and stop that invasion were central to ALL of Europe outside the Soviet Union. The Soviets forced nuclear missiles on Cuba because it was the only land from which it could deploy its limited range missiles to hit all of the U.S. Krushchev's reign was ended shortly after due to the failure of action and to his decision to initiate the crisis.
@@Objectified nice try.. The USSR didnt put nukes onto Cuba, and they actually had nukes on the Missiles....the US did not know that for over forty years....however they refused to give Castro control of the nukes . Be clear Khruschev got what he wanted the removal of those nukes from Turkey and Italy. there would not have been a crisi but for the US placing them there in the first place....Also dont forget that the US has in the past put troops on the ground fighting in Vladivostok and also Western Russia. Now I distrust Russia as far as I can throw it, but never claim the US is as pure as the driven snow....one only has to look at the skullduggery it has performed over the years and the consequences we have had to bear because of their actions.
It will take Britain 100 years to finish this project considering the amount of years the them train stations and houses.
May have looked at the rest of the video before I made my comment.
Very soon it will be replaced by the new airport in Dalian China
Black and white or color??...just pick one!!
I’m a 72 y/o newbie tent camper with my dog via Honda GoldWing with sidecar. We will be taking 4k trips during warm weather together. I’m tough, resilient, but I have to have toilets and showers. First jaunt is east and south. Any suggestions? Thanks!

And they could spend billions on ideas sketched out on napkins without ever having to prove that any of it would work.
Sorry, but the architect has disappointed me... "a bicycle tire?!!" It is a missed opportunity of the greatest kind. Why not shape it the top of a commercial airplane? It has already a side building (a wing) and the bridge to the next Iceland could have been shaped as the second wing. :-)
It's a lot easier to build everything above ground and cover it with dirt lol
If we put enough stuff into space, the space program will be over.
I was amazed by the 'Latest Technology' 😂👍 Quote : "An invasion of Israel would not be tolerated" Unquote..... 🤣
"Cold war is over... " And yet Putin s threatening to launch nukes periodically over last 2 years, and in late 2023 Russia President Vladimir Putin signed a law withdrawing Russia's ratification of the global treaty banning nuclear weapons tests, And "Today, the risk of global thermonuclear warfare seems like a nearly forgotten nightmare "
It's because dumb people believe that a nuclear power can be defeated - NO, they can't. As the last act of war the nuclear power will lunch their ICBM's in case they are losing the war.
We won't even know when the end comes! Fukushima released the radioactivity of 2.2 million atomic Nagasaki bombs. Can you say 'Syonara'?
😮Eberhat Can BorM😮😢Vater Ich missen Dich😂😂😂
But it’s still slowly sinking and I hope it doesn’t end in total catastrophe
It took only 3 years to make because they were all stretching in the parking lot.
Just build it floating!
do u ever find any homeless or garbage along track or do u not find anything.
Don't worry, we have Kamala and Joe To solve any problem.
I am a retired traffic homicide investigator instructor, intoximator instructor and custodian as well as radar instructor of forty years. This position involves a lot of knowledge and training to enable other officers to avoid this kind of things from happening. However, it does happen from time to time and it is possible. I cannot fathom how this happens but I do know it occasionally does It seems that DiSantos made the right call here but only time will tell.
Hell No
WATCH OUT for GODZILLA!!
possibly this time next year it may have sunk completely .anyway ,as your planes come into land ,costumes on ,dive straight in,.also lots of free food for the fishes etc ,
As usual someone has to jump in and defend Boeing....again. Airbus made this announcement because Boeing has gotten close to testing a full scale demonstrator. This video mentions Boeing's plan for a 737 replacement as a footnote, and aircraft that will almost surely arrive before 2035. Okay. Airbus continues to dominate Boeing in the narrowbody sector, but continues to have its lunch eaten in widebody. But hey, what Airbus fan wants to hear that? Right. I said it before and I'll say it again. Airbus will still be busy delivering a massive backlog when Boeing delivers its first all new narrowbody aircraft since the 757, and Airbus will copy whatever works best about the aircraft to also scramble to build a competitor because nobody will want a re-engined A320neo neo. As usual, we'll see what happens.
Being 2024, how about that balloon from China?
London doesn't have a subway 🙄
An engineering marvel that is under built, over budget, smothered by debt and sinking into the ocean. Yeah right.
She gives me Michelle Rodriguez vibes. (Doms girlfriend from fast and furious( letty)

Stand corrected .. . ---> this marvel MAY be absorbed by the effects of Global Warming !
This already been shown
I have not seen it yet.🙂 Ever re-read a book, watched a movie more than once?
@@ande100 Indeed. I have and it was always for the better. His comment is a direct reflection of his lack of the knowledge and enjoyment that can be had from such an action. ✌️
they were sleeping on 911
Insanity, cascaded paranoia. This already been shown.
I agree airport is the place tourist see and the last place tourist leave. If you look at all the major international airport around the world , the design inside are almost identical turn into a shopping Mall. The only different how big the Airport shopping Mall. so what so special about Airport ? nothing
Insanity, cascaded paranoia
Disgusting ! at what cost? is it really something good , something amazing?> or shocking stupid and worthless ay best?

Talk to text isn't working out so great for ya bro.
BORK BORK BORK!!!
Call 911…you’re having a stroke.
Are you high, or drunk?! 😳😂 Sheesh!
MORE CENSORSHIP!!! WE NEED MORE CENSORSHIP!!! p.s. you make me feel young again...growing up in communist Eastern-Europe!!!
Why is "One of the most"? Hell ! I've never seen anything like it, and I've had my share of construction experience. It must be this bs political correctness.
Japan is the most racist. Thisis a way to monitor trafic to not let people slip through.
WHAT JAPAN DOES CHINA COPIES.😂😂😂😂
The power of tax dollars that can't fund health centres; can't build homes; can't repair roads. Let's see who will live forever.
I love to pay tax .Top 5 richest countries high tax .High livingstandaart.there.
Japan has universal healthcare, a housing crisis that equils about 1% of the United States, and they live longer and happier lives that we ever will.
Japan is peak humanity
@@DanielFenandesyo this is 100% facts… they be some smart ahhz motha f*ckas 😂😂
@@moses24091lmaooo yeah to be honest they also seem like some cool ass motherfu*kers… I wish it wasn’t a language barrier because I would love to actually speak and have a fire ass conversation with some of those motherfu*kas… Plus ay don’t get me wrong it’ll be a couple bad ass Japan ladies 😮😅😂
