Australia's Desalination Plant
Wonthaggi, Australia
Engineers are attempting to use an innovative technique to produce cleaner water more efficiently than ever before. With undersea tunnels, 29 buildings and 53 miles of pipelines, it’s also the largest construction site in the country.

Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
Mumbia, India
Engineers have the unprecedented task of erecting the largest airport in Asia right on top of an active one with over 500 flights a day. If they succeed, Mumbai will be able to further claim their place as a world leader in the global economy.

Deriner Dam
Artvin Province, Turkey
Here, in Turkey’s most challenging terrain, crews are now carving out the country’s largest construction site by building one of the tallest and strongest dams ever made.

Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center and Flame Towers
Baku, Azerbaijan
Backed by oil reserves worth nearly half a trillion dollars, Baku is attempting to reinvent the country’s reputation by rebuilding the entire capitol city!

Ijburg, The Floating City
Amsterdam, Netherlands
IJburg has created islands from dredged lakebed, and floating homes moored to berths on their shores. It is the largest neighborhood of its kind in the world, and it’s revolutionizing the way low-lying cities think about urban planning.

Olympic Aquatic Stadium
London, England
This state-of-the-art swimming facility is making a splash with a record breaking feature: an 11,000 square foot steel roof that’s the largest single-span roof in the world.

Sava River Bridge
Belgrade, Serbia
By using only a single 640-foot high pylon to support a 1200-foot long main span, the bridge’s small footprint minimizes disruption of vital boat traffic while connecting old Belgrade to the city’s new industrial zone.
