Documentary

Architect Danny Forster explores some of the most challenging and unconventional construction projects around the world. In the series, Forster meets the engineers and workers who overcome the unique obstacles of building the tallest skyscrapers, the most advanced military tanks, the largest luxury cruise ships, and the most extreme amusement park rides. The show examines how a 3,113-foot-long wooden roller coaster is constructed in winter temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees, how workers are transported to and from a skyscraper construction site 1,614 feet above street level, and how a water tunnel is dug along the San Andreas Fault and 1,000 feet underground without collapsing or flooding. Forster uncovers the technical solutions and big stories behind these engineering feats.
