Look at all these Hard Working Unappreciated Men. Thank You for your Service
...they're ALL Unappreciated, especially the ones who lose their lives, like all those men who lost their lives building the Hoover Dam. My friend Ken, always says that peoples lives are Stolen, when the die on massive Infrastructure jobs, and the owners, builders and engineers never suffer.
Love programs like this because they bring justice to the things we don’t even think about that we’re so reliant on every day. Lots of hard working people out there.

What about the justice of the global market manipulation to exploit the populations, such as increasing gas profits by blowing up the nordstream
In that context you should say *do justice* If you bring justice - it implies a criminal matter. To _do_ justice means to acknowledge the value of something, (not necessarily financial value). For instance. You didn’t finish your food… You were unable to do justice to it. ‘’Sorry, I wasn’t hungry, I just couldn’t do it justice.” Hope this helps more than annoys you. English can be tricky.
It is annoying that you @alex....
Fat fingers again Thank you
For two Hours was clued on my chair watching these Amazing documentaries!! Thank you Spark!!!
How does one combine precision with extremely huge and heavy machines and pipes? Working on a rough sea and under its dark and freezing water? It's their first time but everything must fall into place. Then they have a deadline for each move. They even found dinosaurs from the Jurassic period. Out there the toughest tools that man can make become fragile. "It's all part of the job". What an exciting documentary!

Deadlines are flexible, Quality is essential.

I am a girly girl, but there’s something about large scale engineering and construction that absolutely entrances me. I’m just so very impressed.
Not silly 👍😘
I love watching these types of SUPER KNOWLEDGE , "des connaissances vraiment avancées" voila, c'est donc " super" l love it.
man what a job my prayers go out to all involved and there familys
yeah 👍
Amazing documentary... 👍
Just so you know it always takes something special to lay some pipe. Especially from a long distance! LOL
16:59 *3 minutes before it explodes.. then the car better work. Lmfao Jesus
18:00 Chief-Blaster missed a grand hot-rock-massage!!!
Amazing, thanks from the Philippines 🇵🇭
EXCELENTES DOCS......
Very cool. Brings back lots of memories from when I was helping build the Canadarm with SPAR Aerospace.
Ha! I was just admiring that arm! Did they get the Japanese module up there yet? It makes me so damn angry - throwing trillions at Zalensky and only billions at space exploration. We could mine that asteroid if we’d got our stuff together and we’d all be trillionaires.
7:32 - I'm impressed by even some of the straight forward stuff on projects like these. Look at how much pipe there is in that one yard. Hundreds of thousands of tons of steel pipe. Each pipe probably costs an average year's salary and they have enough there to cross an ocean. Unbelievable.
2015-16, the average cost was $7.65 million/mile ($4.75 million/km
Props to my dude at 1:12:24 for throwing that rock at the armored car. That surely taught it a lesson!
spectacular!
I see all the steel and concrete and think for a moment, thank God there are vast reserves of natural resources that ultimately make modern life easier than it has ever been throughout history. Need to wash your clothes? Put it in a machine and hit a button, you don't have to fill a tub and break out a washboard. Need to cook food? Turn a knob on your gas stove, no gathering wood to light a fire. Health, wealth, agriculture, entertainment, transportation, etc, etc... it's all better today than it was 50 years ago, let alone 500 years ago. Its worth taking a moment to appreciate just how good we have it on so many levels. Things like income disparity and inflation of our money supply suck, should be addressed, and can be fixed, but what we take for granted deserves more respect and appreciation.
Just wow 😯 awesome
This is the manliest documentary Ive ever seen lol
GOOD STUFF!
18:00 Chief-Blaster missed a grand hot-rock-massage!!!

"Ormen Lange" is a somewhat stylistic Norwegian phrase meaning "the long serpent". The phrase happens also to be the name of a mythical boat from the Nordic sagas.

I find it pretty annoying that there are many channels on KZhead that publish often pretty old videos without telling in the description or even on the video itself when the video was made. I just checked that this pipeline became operational in 2006, eighteen years ago. The business model is of course to buy videos cheaply and try to get the maximal profit partly by concealing the age of the video from the KZhead audience. An old video can of course be interesting too, but you should honestly and openly tell your audience what it is that you are offering.
The World population of eight Billion people, now want to know how you are feeling, after having told them your grievance with YT channels not informing you of the exact nature of their videos content, the question is, are you alright, eight Billion people, who's lives are forever changed by the consequence and relevancy of your issues with outdated information are asking, what, can we do to help you through this, how can we help you so that we can return to our own concerns, the upheaval is truly unsettling, you have managed to place our existence in time in the year 2024, it's no wonder that you are slightly discombobulated, please, if you are able to pull yourself together enough to just give us some indication that you are alright, we would at least have some peace of mind....
Fifteen people have "liked" the idea that you live in 2024 and are complaining about content/age related information..... fifteen people actually believe that they too, can relate to life in 2024, fifteen people have looked at your assertion that 2006 plus eighteen years puts them in the year 2024 and have decided that if it's good enough for you, then they should follow...... Don't worry, it looks like you aren't the only one eating crayons....
@@nicolasrose3064 I understand that you for some reason may not be so interested to know when things in documentaries take place, but I have to say your pretty strong negative attitude towards others who are interested to know it seems somewhat strange to me. In addition to "what", "why" and "how", "when" is an important part of almost any documentary, and leaving that out naturally makes people wonder why it was done. In the case of this video I can't imagine what a good reason to do so would be.
@@adoatero5129 Well, your indignant blustering is hilarious, seriously, not falling on the ground going foetal are you, you go hard at it mate, you stand up for yourself, that's the spirit, tell the World how much you need everything brought up to your speed, so, you're THE spokesperson for the people you imagine are in need of being kept abreast of current events, you've been quite the mystery man haven't ya hey, well, the mystery ends here doesn't it, here you are, THE spokesperson for the disgruntled pedantics, I guess the World has really turned for them now.
@Nicolas Rose I hope someone soon minimizes a real concern of yours, reducing it to useless white noise, all the while making you feel ridiculous, then you remember the respect & dignity you gave to others. You needn't share others' perspectives to be a positive motivator. If, as your parents may/ should've taught you, you don't have anything nice to say, then get outta the way while the rest of us attempt to make changes for the better... however trite you may consider it.
The tunneling machine probably is picking up rocks from underneath the pool when they build it and it's going to create a void above the tunnel underneath the pool if they're not careful and down the road the pool could collapse in on itself
Look at all these people actively working as hard as possible to make our atmosphere unliveable. And all to jazzy music. Bellends.
I have been trying to lay that much pipe every day since i was a teenager.

Fun stuff.
the intro music sounds like the old xmen theme from the 90s
22.00 well if your a met service technician working away doin your job and for whatever reason your prediction forecast the next day turns out completely wrong or a weather system pops up out of nowhere isnt it a lovely moral and team building attempt from the captain to highlight your mistake to the documentary team and whole of you tube plus your crew and make your error apparant to every guy on this side of the hemisphere that ever had a meccano set , thanks my lovely dutch captain friend pal sound for that lol ( i worked in holland no surprise to me at all) theres a lot to be said for a nice guy that clears the room then asks you , valid question from the captain but he hung him out to dry
Gotta love the X-men theme song :)
I like the way the Japanese crane operator thinks
This program was made in 2005/2006. But that still doesn't excuse a HUGE error in one section of the film: At the point where they're talking about the Spyder Excavator, they're saying that it can go down up to 800m below surface. First off, that wouldn't be deep enough, because they earlier said the gas was being extracted at over 1,000m below the surface. They say the excavator is needed because the gas field was created by a landslide, so they can't lay pipe due to the rough terrain at the sea bed near the extraction site. Secondly, they say that the excavator works at 800m, a depth "that no man can survive in, and no man has ever seen with his own eyes." This is not true. In 1953, The Trieste deep dive submersible went down the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench to a depth of 11,500+ meters. more than 10 times the depth of this excavator. The Trieste had a port hole in the front covered with thick acrylic, allowing them to see out, with lights that illuminated their way, as well as cameras and screens inside, all back in 1953, cutting edge tech at the time no doubt. There have been countless other vessel dives since, in terms of filmmaking, research, wreck hunting, etc, Some others that would easily break this record would include other successful attempts to reach the Challenger Deep or other Trenches, as well as dives in the 80s to reach the Titanic, which is at a depth of 4,000 meters i believe. Just ask James Cameron if he's been below 800m before 2005.. Some of these weren't manned, but some were. Regardless of these others, this one in 1953 makes his statement incorrect. It is ESPECIALLY incorrect now, since in 2018, another portholed vessel reached the Challenger Deep again, but fell just a few meters short of the depth record set in 1953. But, this film was made in 2005, so we can't count that trip. Other trips were made in 2012, we can't count those either. But the 1953 trip, again, it stands. But this does highlight the need to disclose what year these films were made. People seeing this may believe this has just come out recently, and while these are highly informative and entertaining to watch, they are often riddled with factual inaccuracies or outdated information due to their age.
Great projects, but too much drama ~
..em..
I never understood why they did this with the Thialf instead of suspending the template under a submarine,or lowering it with air bladders.
So great (my new go to, vgg has jumped the shark
Three weeks old, but didn't all this take place a decade or so ago?
Common sense flew out the window did it?
I'll assume you're kidding with that question and continue on my way.
You have a keen sense of the obvious.
Singapore no 1

i cat get over how much the opening song sounds like the 90s xmen theme
Man when these huge companies and huge jobs get rushed, there's always an issue somewhere along the way. Or right thereafter. So since this is being really rushed, wonder when we will see the issues arise? Gas leak 800m below the ocean surface?? Or anti-freeze leak??
Can't wait to see the movie made after it blows up because of human ignorance
It’s been active for over 16 years.
Or blowing up a Russian pipeline so they will buy your gas, while sending thousands to their deaths fighting their wars !
If you don't LOVE this there is something seriously wrong with you!!!
Almost a quarter million pounds of meat. Even to an Army veteran that's an insane amount of food.
Let's hope the US or UK don't blow this one also
This is why they blew up the Russian pipelines so they would buy their gas not to mention the deaths fighting their wars !
Though Amsterdam has EESA their HQ, the construction is done in Heerle, North Brabant in the Netherlands.
What is to note is that we had a agreement and the system will hold to the conditions in which we agreed before they set the test out. The second is in bringing it to life thew teaching is love in a construct and it willeveolve as we have
6:00 Long ago, I had heard that Iran had heavily invested in the North-Sea-Gas-Fields-Projects!!! Anyone knows about that???
nothing to do with britain getting rid of all its gas storage facilities
Great upload but somewhat outdated as the shuttle program was cancelled several years ago

Yes, but the americans still had not learned to use standard measurements, hence the Beagle2 was dropped on Mars instead of landed.
@@mohdfahmi8841 stop. Just stop.
seems to me, Amsterdam might be better served by monoral, think erlin's M..Bahn, started operation in 1989. other cities as well. has tourist attraction benefit,too.
an rlevated monorail .sucessful solution The Wuppertaler Schwebebahn had a forerunner: in 1824, Henry Robinson Palmer of Britain presented his concept his schem adopted,opened1901. even crowded Amsterdam dhould think about this.
Dec 22 video "will the international space station be built?"
Running out of gas but destroys the one from Russia to Germany....😅
Funny how they act like they are so superior for progressing so much faster then most, but that's because they lived in the F'n stone ages for so long and their infrastructure was non existent or pathetic at best. Without existing infrastructure slowing them down, they could easily progress while using all the latest technology at the time. Unlike other places who have progressed much earlier, now have all this existing infrastructure that makes the next level of progress far more challenging and time consuming. Think about it, how much easier to build in an open clear field versus in the middle of a city with underground tunnels and utilities and surrounding buildings.

It's been discussed since the early nineteenhundreds about lighting entire coal seams on fire to create steam power for electricity.
..em ..
the detonation expert ? firstly he cut towards himself with a knife ( never ever cut towards yoursef with a knife) secondly with the matches he strikes the box off the match instead of the match off the box ( sure way to break a match head that lights and falls to the ground ) its little things really that can cause huge problems
I love non "green" energy
It's all natural .
The necessary transition to an all-electric / no-fossil fuels economy is a stupendous task. Who can afford to change their fossil appliances, furnaces, ... to electric. Let alone electric companies not able to provide the power. So many hidden problems.
Dang, why aren’t they using Norwegians or Brit’s? Using cheap Chinese labor?
..em..†..
imagine lifting that load and a squall picks up a the sea starts getting rough the crane operator has a few beads of sweat running down his face with a pitching deck and a load thats starting to sway your committed and in trouble weather forecast is fair important
Spoiler alert. They spend years in construction, billions of dollars and countless man hours, then the yanks blow it up !
Why is it a race against time ? (Is it going so place? )
Its "race", for time as the cost exponentially increases the longer it takes. I.E - engineering/design, testing / qualifications, accounting / logistical constraints, legal & bureaucratic requirements and processes like permits / licenses(which are fixed or expire) for construction. Negotiation of contracts for contractors and there are usually large financial penalties for delays or mismanagement of the project. It also cost so much in daily work. Plus they want it to be operating and profitable ASAP. Weather and season play a role Aswell.
Why do they buid a pipe to the UK instead of using the resources in Norway?
london underground is 50 60 meteres below isnt 25 meters a bit high for tunnel
There are several lines and they vary in depth. Even above ground.
hoped this thing would sink like the prime minister

Very disappointed with the ISS part. Video was more about the shuttle than the construction of ISS, why no footage of the assembly????? Very suspect to believe theories that the only one is in that pool. How else do you explain air bubbles in space?
Those aren’t air bubbles. How can one be so ignorant and misinformed? Really, do yourself a favor and put KZhead down. It’s destroying your little brain.
Why are they costing everything in Dollars when it's a UK operation?

Yep. Side note, do you know about timestamps?

56:12 if a piece of chewing gum can disable a train system so easily the solution isn't to ban chewing gum, the solution is to fix an obvious design flaw in the train system. I'm not an engineer but if I were I'd be embarrassed by this "fix". I certainly wouldn't be in a documentary proudly explaining how my solution to an engineering problem is government restraints on the population, because of chewing gum! Somebody find MacGyver!
I was thinking the same thing! If you tried a “fix” like that in America you would get laughed back to wherever you came from faster then you could say “government overreach”.
