Capturing the biggest, most complex, most stressful and most dangerous engineering projects around the world, Megabuilders chronicles the most awe-inspiring construction projects in modern engineering.
This original Canadian six-part series follows the most ambitious building projects in the world and the engineering teams behind them. Watch as they attempt projects so enormous and challenging, you will be compelled to ask: How will they ever pull this off?
Megabuilders: Fantasy Islands Off the coast of Dubai in the Gulf of Arabia, two mega-builders are pulling off one of the most ambitious feats of marine engineering the world has ever seen. In this episode, witness the creation of the world's largest man-made islands - three artificial islands built in the shape of a palm tree - which will be the home to a luxurious future city of 100,000 people. When building an island, where do you even begin?
Canadian immigrant, Ali Mansour and New Zealander, David Smith have teamed up under the direction of Dubai's property development company, Nakheel, to create this exclusive playland for the world's wealthy elite. This episode follows the marine engineers as they manage a fleet of monster dredger ships and a convoy of mega-trucks moving 14 million tons of rocks to create the world's longest breakwater. These enterprising engineers are designing the 50-km2 islands to withstand earthquakes and they've built the breakwater to help protect the emerging islands against rough seas and erosion. If successful, their work will be instrumental as the tiny emirate re-invents itself as a tourist mecca for the super-rich.
