Some are theoretical; others are in the works. But each of these modern marvels poses challenges that stretch the definition of what's possible. Watch as jaw-dropping computer animation and first-hand accounts from builders, designers and engineers breathe life into the most extreme construction projects ever conceived.
Fed up with devastating damage caused by a spate of recent floods, the Malaysian government has given the go-ahead for an unprecedented solution: construction of a six-mile long, 20-foot high storm drain directly under Kuala Lumpur - the country's capital city - that will siphon water from the city's airport to a holding pond out of town. To offset the cost of the $525 million dollar project, engineers have devised a way to enable the tunnel to serve double duty as a toll road for commuters, creating the only fast way into and out of the city. | | | Product Details: | | | Number of Discs:

great documentary of SMART Tunnel ConstructionDec 31, 2010
By Stephen Pellerine The DVD, from the Discovery Channel, really covers the development of the construction of the SMART tunnel in KL, Malaysia. I instruct research courses for Engineers and we have enjoyed watching this as a case study.
