I like how the Neuroscientist gave opinion on structural and construction engineering mistakes.
I was looking for this comment! There’s quite a few cringe scripted replies from people I assume they just found on the street and filmed 😂
we humans strive for complex things but the beauty is in simplicity
Best comment yet. Congratulations
as a structural engineer, i have the solution for Millennium Tower.... just demolish the top 15 storeys, that will be cheap and safe, i can share the methodology
Another massive engineering mistake is the building of mega cities Los Angeles and San Francisco over top of the San Andreas Earthquake Fault. Engineers I guess thought that an earthquake of magnitude 7 comes only once every 5 years shouldn't pose any inconvenience to the city dwellers. While the magnitude 10 earthquake is once every 100 years. Fix: building codes that require structures to be able to withstand any earthquakes.
Yes because they knew that 200+ years ago.
Yeah but that would be totally unaffordable.
Why are there a biochemist and a neuroscientist in a documentary about "engineering disasters" talking as experts in the subject?? Especially when they don't once talk about how neurology or biochemistry could have been a factor or prevented anything..
My thoughts exactly, where's the good 'ole fashion civil, structural or geo-engineers when you need them most?!
@@craigsymington5401 Maybe they couldn't afford any to appear in the doc.
@@WildbunchDM they didn't fit the profile😬
Marble floors and walls are Heavy as well !!!! 👍✌🖖🍁🌻
How could a slippery bridge floor be blamed on engineers? It was the architect who chose the glass material.
@@AR-15-685 What is the name of your country? In Canada, the architect is the boss of a project. He designed the bridge, he hired the engineer, he’s the project manager, and he helped the owner choose the general contractor. Even though he’s not a structural engineer, he is responsible for the engineer’s mistake.
@@AR-15-685 If there’s no architect because the owner doesn’t feel a need for an architect, then the engineer is the boss.
@@AR-15-685 Architects get paid more than engineers.
They used cement or concrete instead of steel, so, their mistake is not knowing there's a big difference in weight, strength and so on.
@@AR-15-685 It's really simple! Architects select the finishes and the structural Engineer makes allowance for the load of these finishes. A structural Engineer never deals with building finishes. It's the Architect's job. Unless of course, if there is no Architect, then the structural Engineer is responsible.
That dream home soon became a night mare home But how any one can live 50 floors above the ground is beyond me No opening windows No trees flowers or birds No neighbours No street life Totally abstract and detached from reality He is probably a dentist
Anthonykenny1320… like your sense of humour… totally agree and they are built to sway and come with squeaking sounds…I lived in a 16 floor apartment and that was bad enough , lovely views of the SH bridge and wonderful sunsets but there was a fire in the apartment below and a female decided to dive off the balcony and landed on the concrete below … so never again apart from the drama the sheer terror of being trapped in a lift … good thing we are different
As an IT developer and an introvert, it would be my calming place. The room maybe doesn't have windows that can be opened, but you are free to leave the building to get some fresh air. Besides, it had to cost a lot, so it wouldn't be a problem to buy air filter or something like that to be able to maintain fresh air for apartment. Some people enjoy living near their neighbors, while others don't-like me-especially since my upstairs neighbors frequently drop things on the ground, causing a lot of irritation.
I can't even think of living above the 3rd storey; I have to see human activity and nature. That is why I prefer to chose a lower floor when I check into a hotel .
they have each other and the view.
Frank Jernigan is a retired Google software engineer and his husband is a retired physician. $4 million down the drain!
What's the first thing I think of when asked about Sanfransisco?Earthquake!! 😁 I wouldn't pitch a tent in that city, let alone go anywhere near a multistorey building.
My exact thought that came watts the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes I live in a city that has had a few earthquakes nothing serious you get use to it after a while
The is a warning in the Bible that a person who builds is house in the sand is a fool
Is it just me, but why do people build on fault lines, marsh land, and sand? And then wonder why buildings collapse.
Same reason why people built on the bank of rivers orat the beach and wonder why their houses gets flooded
The earthfall at the end is actually not a engineering failure but a freak of nature. It's about 20km from my former home town and the whole area is prone to earth falls because of huge limestone layers underneath that dissolves over ages creating caverns. You will not seem them coming, it's just happening.
Thank you for all your shows. They are great.
It’s funny when the girl mentioned what do you think about San Francisco, I think of homeless people, drug use, sewage on the sidewalks, getting robbed, bad expensive restaurants, I will never go there again.
@@carlosedwin1 spotted that!
I thought 8 inches into a hole. That sounds San Francisco.
@@colinyandon6137🧐
Very interesting vid. Well done. Whatever will happen to the building! To become the "Leaning Tower of San Francisco"? But what's happened to S.F. is a real shame. Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's it was a very nice, fun place to live and work. It has gone downhill. Way downhill.
@@carlosedwin1 better live in a giant prison like China , so safe . Cameras everyway. From CCP government propaganda
Problem with piles in sand is that vibrations makes them sink.
And the earthquake zone..
Every engineer ever: "it shouldn't be a problem". Everyone else: "okay, but it is..."
Oh! Someone else’s fault! Yea that’s SF. It all fitting together
42:47 "There are no *_concrete plans_* to fill in the sink hole.." I see what you did there.
'Everything was done to perfection' He moved out, so that is just a slogan, not a truth. Like everything is better in the USA. When they do it well, it is good; however when they eff up, they deny it and move out.
I was always confused by why san francisco had any skyscrapers...wasnt there a law that after the last big earthquake in the 1930s no construction was allowed if over 12 floors
Maybe the Netherlands might have some ideas for Venice's problems !
Building dikes around the city to keep the ocean back and use windmills to pump out any excess water getting inside. Venice could become "Little Holland" of Italy. An engineering success story for the Dutch nation and its people.
They offered to take a look but decided to not burn their fingers: their plans were a mess. Think they offered to build a dike I think.
@@Paul_C They suggested dredging the Canals, so water can flow freely in and out. It was voted down by Venice, because it was "Too expensive"
Another chief designer who could not be told "NO', "You are wrong". I have met many.
Yes, and sometimes with deadly consequences, as we saw a few weeks ago.
@@achatinaslak742pop mb aa
Yep dumb CEO's and Engineers everywhere
Now they could remove half a dozen flat from the top ..or reduce the building by half
The glass bridge could be improved by having composite tiling - strips of clear glass - draining to the sides of the bridge - countered with high friction tile...
some of the problems are that people like architects are pushing the boundaries rather than staying simple for the chance to put their name in glory
As a retired architect I look back at the simple triple fronted brick veneer of the sixties with nostalgia at the honesty and lack of glitz not to mention the very workable floor plans Architects these days try to make statements with their designs but end up creating chaos and confusion not to mention unadulteratedugliness
And that is desaster..
In my learning days of school, college, and Army, I never ever cheated on my exams. I studied hard and resat if I had to. This is the result of too people cheating on their exams. Corrupt instructors and the like passing failures to make their own results look good. This is not good, men doing jobs without the proper credentials. It can kill.
"" Qualified, does not mean '' CERTIFIED '' ......in anything. Handy-men, may be qualified....but /????? are they ' certified ' ? Probably not ......more scammers....
Actually, what they can do is build new steel structures on all sides of the building, meaning the front, back, left and right, but of course, which won't disturb the people. The steel is to go down underground very, very deeeply.
Maybe they should have rung Australia about tiles on the Opera House??? Sydney Opera House has been there since 1973??!! No problems !!
I do not know when they shoot this doc, however for Venice is really old. Mose is on service today and thanks God we did it! Each and every Autumn to Winter people stop complaining about maintenance and cost cause they see, towns remains much dryer, as much dryer as possibile seen the ambient where it was built.
Talk about scary but interesting program!😮
Did he sell his “nightmare condominium” to some poor sucker and pass on the nightmarish situation?
fascinating situation which will require very ingenious methods to rectify Question arising: ‘How could the building site have been declared fit for purpose applied, in the first instance?’ Awkward setup…🤓
$$$
Yea he is classic Sam Francisco 😂 it’s emotional, just like the purchase
Re do the mold for the glass but introduce small cone shapes exterior for the glass to be pressed to be still light transparent for overall effect .
Het hair is an engineering marvel looks awesome!
1st episode I watched, is there an episode about that skyscraper in China that wobbled around, about 1 - 2 years ago?
Probably Italy could learn from the Netherlands about how to solve the Venice city problem.
@@charonstyxferryman My thoughts exactly. And South African engineers who know how to fill and stabilise sinkholes ten times that size...

@@charonstyxferrymanbut that company couldn't be corrupted so no.
Best answer for the slippery bridge, ether sandblast the glass or put skid less strips.
The architect was offended that anyone would even consider etching his "masterpiece".
yo, enjinears, its called bedROCK not bedSAND. aim for it, keep digging until you find it then start piling things on until top floor is done.
Antique Román architects laughing hard 😂
for sure....Vitruvius especially . ( He authored ' Ten Books on Architecture ''. Check it out - a very good education, for what is REQUIRED OF A MODERN ENGINEER. with calculator, plastic , glass, and CEMENT . OH......add rebar....and mud/ sand / fill too.
To fix the slippery Spain bridge, one can construct a robot that uses a laser and makes certain type of, not holes, but a kind of very small, uniform and evenly spaced, pits or small punctures, so that small Glass/Plastic/Colored Rubber Stars can be glued or inserted with their vertical poles in the holes -if holes are made, and the beauty of the bridge may even enhance with these twinkling objects! Just a thought out of feeling sorry for such a beautiful construction. Thank you.
i know,they can attach giant birthday balloons to the top of the tower to take up the weight with smiley faces and unicorns on them.
@30:00, a solution is to put a red carpet in the bridge. or better yet, rainbow color to make it looks grand.
With that much money they could move the best buildings to another place
A house built on sand vs one built on solid rock. 😅. The parable is correct !
This will need to come down.
Dream home? In that building? The dream home is the house with green yard around it....what you bought is a stupid cell of the hive in the concrete loud jungle...... For the Venice, it is not at the ocean. It is at closed relatively small Adriatic sea. If they hired "experts" like that to solve the problem, I doubt it would be successful.
Spanish glass bridge. Architect needs to go back to school to know can’t walk in glass especially with the multitude gradients of bridge and the local weather or ….there’s something fishy going on with the use of that glass. 😂
This happened in Venice too,same type of bridge,same designer Santiago Calatrava...had to pay back money to Venice City Government after losing a lawsuit that was filed against him
..... what about those liquid solutions that immediately turn solid when combined with a particular activating element....???
Some are rather natural disasters than so-called engineering mistakes
I don't see it as friction stopping that rod being hammered into the sand, more likely the sand under the base of the rod being compressed closer together the deeper it goes. I'm sure if it was a tube being hammered, it would go much deeper. Friction on the sides is not going to have much influence.
The friction of the sand becomes more apparent when you try to pull a rod out of the sand. Pulling it out can be very difficult. Over time though, the piles will very slowly sink into the sand, perhaps unevenly on the four sides.
That sounds reasonable, maybe I wouldn't have come to my conclusion if the hammered in rod had a point on it.@@bob456fk6
Export the Q*, 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 Budget 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.
No matter what they do, this project will never work. People need to start moving out. Use the money they are wasting to help people to relocate. Orherwise the people will surely perish. The incompetence and greed of the engineers , businesses involved and government officials is overwelming. They are crearing a peoject dedignated to fail.
Did you edit this to purposefully type peoject dedignated or was your post even worse? Edit: crearing.
not happy enough with the problem of the Bilbao's 1997 bridge, similar problems has encountered the 2008 bridge in Venice of the same architect: "errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum"
I'm guessing the piles are NOT as deep as they where designed to be.
"A wise man does not build his house upon sand and Trash"
On a scale of 1 to 10, this documentary isn't even on the charts😂
Sinking and leaning , sounds familiar, Pisa and it's infamous tower. A thousand year old problem.
Architects and structural engineers forgetting about us geotechnical engineers
Try not to save that Sinking Sea. Let it go, Let it go
The problem jn San Francisco is not of the Millineal Tower alone. The next buildings have the same fears toò. Especialling where the building is tilting to. But leaning Tower of Pisa is still standing though.
Correction: especially
True ... but how to put the furniture?
The tower of Pisa doesn't have the skyscraper's height
@@freespiritable Very pertinent remark
@@freespiritable thank you for the information.
No one seems to want to understand to consequences of the tower of Babel. Carry on
They can easily bring it down just like they did with the building 7 (too) in the WTC complex, and then rebuild it BBB.
Earth's shape is debatable but enjoyed the video👍
Your intelligence obviously is debatable. You either have none OR very little.
It’s not really
@@lucylane7397 if your mind is closed, you won't see truth.
"engineering mistakes that only an EXPERT can fix" 😂 Did they hire fresh collage grads to design that skyscraper?
A Marble has Higher IQ than today's Engineers!
One minute your looking at heaven ,the next your looking at hell.😮
Are the Millennium tower residents going to be levied a special assessment to fix the problem? One heck of a bill for something youve already paid for. And why did the developer make a running change to the design going from steel to concrete, especially at the top. Center of gravity and all.
Good
5:55 "friction" ? the type and level of 'friction' in the grains of sand suddenly get different a few feet down? OR is it a question of displacement; a shallow stake 'shifts' the adjacent sand easily, including upward. not so deep down. it cant compress or move after about 3 feet so the inertia of the mallet goes nowhere. anyways the FACT the tower IS shifting puts a wrench in the frriction explanation
The longer the pole goes in the sand the surface area increases
Drill pillar holes down to the hard rock. Add rebar and fill holes with concrete 🧐
One thing my grandson told me was the alarm kept going on in the hotel at San Francisco 😬
I think the world has a combined responsibility to help Venice.

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" Almighty God said ALL PEOPLE NEED to UNDERSTAND the PURPOSES of My WORK on EARTH, that is, what I WANT to ACHIEVE in the END and to what degree I must ACHIEVE this WORK BEFORE it becomes COMPLETE. If after WALKING WITH Me until this DAY, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND what My WORK is about, isn't their WALKING with Me in vain? If PEOPLE OBEY Me, they must KNOW My WILL. 🙏 I have been working on earth for thousands of years, and to this day, I still do My work in this way. Although My WORK CONTAINS many PROJECTS, the PURPOSE of the WORK remains UNCHANGED; for example, even though I AM FULL of JUDGMENT and CHASTISEMENT of man, what I do is STILL for the SAKE of SAVING him, and for the SAKE of better PROPAGATION of My GOSPEL and further EXPANSION of My WORK in ALL COUNTRIES GENTILE the MOMENT man was made PERFECT. ☀️ So today, at a time when many people have long since fallen deeply into disappointment, I am still continuing My work, continuing the work I must do to JUDGE and PUNISH MAN. To those of the truth that man is already full of what I say, and he has no desire to interfere with My work, I still carry out My duty, because the PURPOSE of My WORK REMAINS UNCHANGED, and My ORIGINAL PLAN WILL NOT BE DESTROYED . ☀️ The purpose of My JUDGMENT is to GRANT--ENABLE PEOPLE to be better at OBEYING Me, and the purpose of My PUNISHMENT is to allow PEOPLE to CHANGE more effectively. ☀️ Although what I do is for the sake of My rule, I have never done anything that does not benefit people, because I want to make all the nations outside of Israel as obedient as the Israelites, and make them true man, so that I would have a hold on the lands outside of Israel. This is My RULE; this is the WORK I FULFILL among the GENTILE NATIONS. Even today, many people still do not UNDERSTAND My GOVERNMENT, because they have NO INTEREST in these THINGS, but only CARE about their OWN FUTURES and DESTINY. ☀️ No matter what I say, people still don't care about the work I do, instead focusing only on their desired ends. If things continue in this way, how will My work be expanded? HOW WILL My GOSPEL be SPREAD THROUGHOUT the WORLD? ☀️ You must know that when My work expands, I will scatter you, and I will strike you, as Jehovah struck every tribe of Israel. ALL of this WILL be DONE to SPREAD My GOSPEL THROUGHOUT the EARTH, so that it REACHES the GENTLE NATIONS, so that My NAME will be GLORIFIED by BOTH ADULTS and CHILDREN, and the HOLY NAME will be GLORIFIED by the MOUTH of PEOPLE from ALL TRIBES and COUNTRIES. 🙏 This is so that in this LAST AGE, My NAME will be glorified among the GENTILE NATIONS, so that the GENTILES WILL SEE My WORKS and they WILL CALL Me ALMIGHTY over ALL because of My WORKS, and so that My WORDS can be FULFILLED in as SOON as POSSIBLE. I WILL MAKE ALL PEOPLE KNOW that I AM NOT ONLY the GOD of the ISRAELITES, BUT ALSO the GOD of ALL the GENTILE NATIONS, EVEN the ONES I CURSED. 🙏 I will let ALL PEOPLE SEE that I AM the GOD of ALL CREATION. This is My GREATEST WORK, the PURPOSE of My WORK PLAN for the LAST DAYS, and the only WORK that will be FULFILLED in the LAST DAYS. ☀️🙏 From "The Work of Spreading the Gospel is also the Work of Saving People" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll.

That edged glass that woman comes up with is not any better. It only has little lines etched out in it, that makes the amount of contact surface even less, whilst it is still as slippery on said surface as any other glass. Even metal plating producers make the mistake of thinking ridges in or even on the surface of that metal would make it less slippery.. A bit of rain and the opposite may even be true!
G/F will become basement. So, change it to parking floor if you are good future planner! 😳
I think epoxy with ingrained sand would work for the bridge
A combination of vertical and horizontal pilings may solve the sinking problem.
The reasons for most failures are several, f.e. - greedyness - incompetence - corruption - lack of responsibility or NO personal responsibility at all for decision makers According to my life experience the lack of personal responsibility in "public offices/positions," for example in: - politics - financing - lawyers - judges etc. is the main reason for our current "declining situation."
En Venezia y Bilbao es el trabajo de CALATRAVA😂😂😂 Rezbala todo...y la pasta tambien...Cobro mucha pasta...
This use RAAC?
Just add more friction to the building and reduce from using heavy material.
Jim Sim...glass floor ..I have been building houses for54 years even as an apprentice I knew not to use glossy surfaces on any floor I use sand texture as much as possible..how come architects with degrees in several fields of construction.make this mistake . Also why was the local authority oblivious to this problem it is a problem that dates back to ancient times... time people started to question these designs ...
Minute 6:00, really? Going deeper with the stick only creates more friction? What about all the sand it replaces? Where does it go? That is pressure, like in the deep sea....
Not one single bit of footage of any building sinking into the ground in Nordhausen?!
Isn't 8 inches into a hole what San Francisco is best known for?
?....hmm. ;; Sin City "......? area of sodom and gomorrah....your going down, San Fran !

The glass bridge, why they're not using artificial grass for walking and colorful red flowers on both sides
David Foster should do a documentary
In Venice Why didn’t they just make some proof of concept / pilot program for 3 to 5 years and draw conclusions from that?
What the?!... "freezing the ground" Has that even been done before? Surely not..? Since the foundation piles are supposed to hold it place with friction from the ground surrounding them, having 950 of them would mean they are so close together that there is less actual ground around them, so instead of the piles working individually, they work basically as one.

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" Almighty God said ALL PEOPLE NEED to UNDERSTAND the PURPOSES of My WORK on EARTH, that is, what I WANT to ACHIEVE in the END and to what degree I must ACHIEVE this WORK BEFORE it becomes COMPLETE. If after WALKING WITH Me until this DAY, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND what My WORK is about, isn't their WALKING with Me in vain? If PEOPLE OBEY Me, they must KNOW My WILL. 🙏 I have been working on earth for thousands of years, and to this day, I still do My work in this way. Although My WORK CONTAINS many PROJECTS, the PURPOSE of the WORK remains UNCHANGED; for example, even though I AM FULL of JUDGMENT and CHASTISEMENT of man, what I do is STILL for the SAKE of SAVING him, and for the SAKE of better PROPAGATION of My GOSPEL and further EXPANSION of My WORK in ALL COUNTRIES GENTILE the MOMENT man was made PERFECT. ☀️ So today, at a time when many people have long since fallen deeply into disappointment, I am still continuing My work, continuing the work I must do to JUDGE and PUNISH MAN. To those of the truth that man is already full of what I say, and he has no desire to interfere with My work, I still carry out My duty, because the PURPOSE of My WORK REMAINS UNCHANGED, and My ORIGINAL PLAN WILL NOT BE DESTROYED . ☀️ The purpose of My JUDGMENT is to GRANT--ENABLE PEOPLE to be better at OBEYING Me, and the purpose of My PUNISHMENT is to allow PEOPLE to CHANGE more effectively. ☀️ Although what I do is for the sake of My rule, I have never done anything that does not benefit people, because I want to make all the nations outside of Israel as obedient as the Israelites, and make them true man, so that I would have a hold on the lands outside of Israel. This is My RULE; this is the WORK I FULFILL among the GENTILE NATIONS. Even today, many people still do not UNDERSTAND My GOVERNMENT, because they have NO INTEREST in these THINGS, but only CARE about their OWN FUTURES and DESTINY. ☀️ No matter what I say, people still don't care about the work I do, instead focusing only on their desired ends. If things continue in this way, how will My work be expanded? HOW WILL My GOSPEL be SPREAD THROUGHOUT the WORLD? ☀️ You must know that when My work expands, I will scatter you, and I will strike you, as Jehovah struck every tribe of Israel. ALL of this WILL be DONE to SPREAD My GOSPEL THROUGHOUT the EARTH, so that it REACHES the GENTLE NATIONS, so that My NAME will be GLORIFIED by BOTH ADULTS and CHILDREN, and the HOLY NAME will be GLORIFIED by the MOUTH of PEOPLE from ALL TRIBES and COUNTRIES. 🙏 This is so that in this LAST AGE, My NAME will be glorified among the GENTILE NATIONS, so that the GENTILES WILL SEE My WORKS and they WILL CALL Me ALMIGHTY over ALL because of My WORKS, and so that My WORDS can be FULFILLED in as SOON as POSSIBLE. I WILL MAKE ALL PEOPLE KNOW that I AM NOT ONLY the GOD of the ISRAELITES, BUT ALSO the GOD of ALL the GENTILE NATIONS, EVEN the ONES I CURSED. 🙏 I will let ALL PEOPLE SEE that I AM the GOD of ALL CREATION. This is My GREATEST WORK, the PURPOSE of My WORK PLAN for the LAST DAYS, and the only WORK that will be FULFILLED in the LAST DAYS. ☀️🙏 From "The Work of Spreading the Gospel is also the Work of Saving People" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God." (Rev. 19:13) The kingdom He brought down and built in the worthy holy place in the highest in the sky and when all the humanity He created in the universe was occupied by it and it was engraved in His holy name and owned by His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 this is the fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) The Lord Jesus said, "And I say to you, Peter, on top of this eunuch I will build my Church, which will not prevail against him even the fear of death.". ... and fulfillment of "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... and fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem"💫 "The Spirit covered me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 21:10). ... "For the time has come in the matter of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17) 📩 God's sheep are called and led to His glorious Throne in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 to submit again to His authority so that He can continue to teach us, guide us and protect us even in plagues, disasters, famines and wild animals It will not move us, and to completely win the war with the big red dragon in this final battle!. ... The fulfillment of "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... Fulfillment that it will be built in the highest in the sky that in our Millennial generation is KZhead in (Isaiah 2:2 / 9:6) "In the last day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All the nations will flock there.". ... "For a baby boy is born for us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." 📨💌
@@charonstyxferryman That's very interesting. I actually work in construction (residential) myself here in Australia, though i like to think im well versed in most construction methods but apparently not, so please forgive me for sounding ignorant, i didnt actually know that freezing the ground was actually a thing, let alone be a viable long-term solution. I suppose I should have googled it first, which is what im going to do now. lol
@@charonstyxferryman And to make me seem even more ignorant, i just learnt that its actually been done once before here in Australia with the forresfield airport link project in western australia between 2016 and 2022. The more you learn.
@@charonstyxferrymanGround freezing was also done in the boston big dig tunnel project.
Just hire the engineering professor
