The population of the Earth is growing, and there is less and less free space for housing. It is quite possible that floating cities and underwater megacities may become quite real in the future. But how will you be able to solve the problem of building on water - after all, it is much more difficult than building something on land? Believe us, even now mankind can build facilities incredible scale in rivers, seas and oceans. If you have any doubts about that, our video for today will definitely clear them!

@@zombiegoddess1524 i am stupid
That would be scary to be inside a pit surrounded by walls of water.
Absolutely
Now imagine how people in the past make some off-shore coastal structure. Like.. Long pier/port/harbor area and offshore lighthouse for example. Or some fortress or tall tower thing.
Even with the technology of early modern era aka the colonialism n imperialism era, it's still hard to do. Back then. Lot of casualties.
Why?
especially when it's raining
Just swim
This should have been titled "different types of man-made water structures" because I really didn't learn how any of these were actually built.
Bruh it's not supposed to teach u how it's done it's saying, this is how it happened like this is why and what type of thing
It's a 10 minute video. What do you expect from that length of time?
@@tylerfrost7394 "this is how underwater structures are built"
exactly my thoughts haha
@@castleanthrax1833 10 minutes is all I could take of his voice, so....
Sea wind farm : takes 23 monthes
A road in my city: takes forever
The power of german engineering
In my country takes 2 year to build a one mile road and by the time the end of the road is finish .the rest of the road need repairs already
i work as a roadway engineer and i can say most of the time it's usually funding from the government. these smaller projects don't get a lot of funding but go through a lot of design changes, compared to these massive projects that are funded by private companies as well
corporate thugs draw out their city contracts to purposely delay completion of projects to increase profits. its called "cost overruns" and it means any contractor can make any false estimate they desire to "win" the contract. contractors will just nullify their original estimate through designed delays and planned cost overruns. some contracts even pay the corporations BONUSES for completing projects according to contract stipulations. NOW THERE'S A RACKET!
at 3 minutes - 700 million bucks may have been what the corporate thugs charged to build the bridge but that's not what it cost. you can bet your ass that the corporate thugs kept 500 million of that taxpayer money for themselves. that's what capitalism is all about. steal from the consumer or from the taxpayer. it doesn't matter. corrupt EVERYTHING into funneling money to the rich and just let them steal as much money as they possibly can.
~^ I think it's either a case of A.D.D. but most likely changing priorities. In my city we have all those shenanigans, including earthwork completely ready for asphalt and highway overpasses that are growing grass instead 😄. The same road crews working on some 10 yr old unfinished roads are working on another new project, upgrade or repair for a while. They eventually get back to them 😄
It's quite amazing. I've always wondered how something like a oil station gets built in the middle of the sea. the human race has become so intelligent when it comes to science/architect etc. Building stuff like this and skycrapers while I'm struggling to fix things in my home. Lol

Amazing how they get those bridge sections perfectly aligned with each other.
They use lasers (not to cut but as a light beam) for precision

Seeing the last part of this video where they moved parts weighing 10.000 tons, made me think about the ancient structures and how they were built, it makes it even harder to wrap your mind around it...
Yup, using animals + tons of people and seriously hard labor.
Maybe even some ancient pully-type systems and whatever other tech they developed to help.
Its just hard for us to comprehend because we live a totally different life today, with different goals, purpose, etc, and we often look at ancient life through our eyes instead of theirs.
For example, time is the most important aspect and difference.
Our modern society cares about time, and we waste ALLOT of it and expect things to happen quickly, but back-then, that wasn't the case. You and your grandparents could live the same lifestyle. No innovation, nothing to look forward to besides life itself. Your entire life and only what you made of it, and there wasn't much to make of it.
Their technology may have been 'old', but they were probably smart enough to make it VERY efficient over thousands of years.
Spending your entire life to see a project be completed was probably typical, and that was peak 'performance' for them, just like people today spend their entire lives dedicated to building a company or something else.
Or ofc you can go off the deep end; Aliens or modern-type power tools lost to time are the explanation.
Ancient People had time on their side. They were not in a rush like we are. Things get done whenever they are finished. It could be 100 years, 1000.

Interesting! I’ve always wonder how they did this.
They build it but don’t fix it. A bridge collapsed because of bird poo in excess of 80,000 pounds
Edit for numerical error
There's plenty of space!🙄 Look at all those abandoned buildings in Detroit! Baltimore, etc!🤷🏿♂️
You should see Newburg, New York😒
😂 😂 😂
There’s plenty of space between Detroit and Baltimore too.
The entire population of the world could live quite comfortably within something the size of Texas at the population density of NYC. We won’t run out of land any time soon.
Yea but those aren't pretty. God forbid. Poor people live where they can. It's not the poor people building cities ya dig. Well it is but they aint paying for it lol
True
As a minnesotan I can confirm that stillwater bridge is insanely convenient whenever I have to visit family in Wisconsin. Saves almost 20 minutes without having to drive through downtown stillwater
I thought you were gonna say it saves an hour plus or something haha. 20 mins is nothing lol. In london it can take 20 mins to travel 0.9miles by car during peak traffic
Yeah it seriously cuts down on the time so you don’t have to go through Stillwater and then through Hudson to get somewhere.
You're fortunate that they spent millions dollars so you can save your precious 20 minutes. Why waste that money on feeding the hungry?
@@tamianyoganathan4383 He's not giving all the information. I live here in Minnesota too and ST. Croix Bridge is more than just 20 minutes time saving. The old Steel bridge runs through downtown Stillwater which was a headache that causes traffic jam more than 20 minutes long. The steel bridge is only a 2-way lane and its also a lift bridge for boats too so every 30 minutes, the bridge lifts up. After that, you have tourist visiting downtown so waiting for them to cross the darn street. Then you have cars going north making right turns into the bridge and cars going south making left turns into the bridge. The next closes big bridge is 5 miles south of St. Croix Crossing and 20 miles north of it even if you take the south i-94 bridge to go around, you then run into traffic with Hudson city there.
Thus St. Croix bridge was born to fix all of these problems on hwy 36 going east. Now cars don't have to run through downtown Stillwater, wait for boats, fight with tourist, wait over 30 minutes to cross, and go around just to get to the other side of town. What makes it even better is that the St. Croix bridge is a hwy bridge with 2 lanes each way so trucks and whatever can now use it rather than go around to the other bridges. It's more than just 20 minutes time saving, its a convenient worthy $700 million infrastructure. Besides that, the bridge is a tourist spot and people actually go exercising on it as well. Old Steel bridge has been retired now so its also a tourist bridge.
I recommend people to visit the St. Croix Bridge because its an engineering masterpiece. The way how it was built and layout shows the world how far and intelligent humans are at creating these magnificent structures.
@@dangermanv6133 Oh my.. I had no idea there was so much backstory to this! Shame on OP for missing out these key details. I now wholeheartedly support this bridge as I too would be very frustrated with having to bout with tourists and then wait at 30min intervals just to continue my commute. Thanks again for the clarification man. I hope OP sees this and gets your comment more views
It’s so cool to see this; all this engineering never ceases to amaze me.

Cofferdams are used for the construction of large bents (i.e., piers). On the other hand, conventional highway and rail bridges can be founded on drilled shafts that are simply drilled and poured thru slightly larger diameter steel casings. Much more cost effective.

Not sure how interested people will be in this addition, but you can see folks use cofferdams to excavate shipwrecks too, if they're close enough to shore. We had a dig use this off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to pull out a 1686 French shipwreck, La Belle is just really neat overall, would recommend you look it up if you want a taste of underwater archaeology, or early French exploration.
Ooh! Very cool! This happens to just peak my interest, so thank you for commenting this!! (genuinely, i love this sort of thing)

Another fact about the Stillwater, MN bridge: The contractor; Mortenson Construction was building U.S. Bank Stadium at the same time and many in the industry said they couldn't build both mega-projects at the same time. They completed them both ahead of schedule.
You kind of glossed over the reasoning behind the design... They wanted to build a new bridge for over 60 years! 6+ designs & locations were presented but the environmentalists opposed it every step of the way, so they required the max height of the towers to be the height of the canopy on the banks which you can see at 2:42. Also so it wasn't visible from outside the valley. It actually had to be brought to the federal government, signed approval from both branches of congress by huge majorities and then by Obama in 2012 after the 60 year shit show to replace a 1931 bridge.
Also to say the old Stillwater lift bridge (which has since been restored for pedestrians) was 'in a very bad state' is an understatement. It was ranked one of the most unsafe bridges in the country.
The sheet pile is the workhorse of groundworks. Great video.
Quite an eye opening footage. I had always wondered how it's done. Fancy doing a recording on how the Dubai palm Island was done?

jackkenefick noted thanks so much.
They just dumped boulders and sand
I don't think that's been a success. They poured millions into it and now it's just a big waste of time and money. A woftam if you like. Just "uber" rich people spending money to show the ordinary people like you and me, that they have more money than sense.
This is amazing i always wondered how it was done
That is the most beautiful breakwater I have ever seen. I want to see it in real life now.
I got to admit, living in a house underwater would be amazing.
Well yes and no
Yes: fish literally self uber into the house
No: you cant cook the fish reason: water

Building stuff like this and skycrapers while I'm struggling to fix things in my home. Hope one day, we'll be having some of these useful projects in the Philippines even if our government is very corrupt since 2016 up to the present.
Man I was 64’ (feet) under water level drilling concrete cores to sample for a bridge on the McKenzie river in NWT and it was -55-60c with those water pumps on like 20 levels, had to keep all The vehicles running

Thats silly, they should start harvesting now get wind bags full of air and ship to areas of low oxygen quality; Mexico, china L.A etc
I love science almost as much as engineering science!

Amazing how they get those bridge sections perfectly aligned with each other. I wonder if they ever made a miscalculation...
I lived near the Melbourne Princes Pier in Port Melbourne for years. Absolutely beautiful area with huge historical significance for Aussies - great video 🐨🦘🇦🇺❤️

Man TH-cam algorithm read my mind
I’m just here because of Twitter and I needed to know

After watching this video quite intently, I STILL couldn't tell you how underwater structures are built...
The 7 mile bridge down in the Keys is pretty crazy when you’re in the middle of it and all you see to either side is water all the way to the horizon and highway only going in front and behind you until they too disappear. I’m not the most traveled person, but that was one of the craziest things I’ve ever driven across.
I was surprised nothing about the keys came up in video
These things are really my benchmark and gauge of how far Mankind has evolve through the years, omg, i just remembered when I was a kid I was just playing sticks and stones with my neighbor friends, and now we all have this super advance technology and jaw-dropping mega structures everywhere in the world. I just couldn't imagine how the planet Earth and everything in it would look like in years 2500 or 3000, omg, it's so scary and it makes me sad that I would be dead by then. I don't want to miss it T_T
I’ve thought about this as well and yea it is scary. I don’t think you’ll wanna be there man. Who knows u might be
We shall be immortal bi dat time
We cant build as good as we used too
After watching the video I still do not know how the oil station is able to stand in the ocean so deep; did I missed something? The bridge in the river makes sense because the water is not deep like the ocean.
Ang ganda ng pagkagawa
How are foundations laid in really deep water where you cannot seal off the water because it’s too deep?
I am a NYC dockbuilder journeyman I get to do this every day , I haven't actually worked on that type of project but I'm assuming they use a core drill and build the rest in pieces send a diver down and connect the pieces, the corrugated sheeting is mainly used in shallow waters the only thing I can think of is the oil drilling platforms which are engineering marvels. But yeah I'd imagine there built in pieces
I’m always wonder how people’s buildings bridge in water but here is my answer.
Very informative video. However, I prefer to use sand instead of concrete/metal to build walls around the intended area of construction. Thereafter, I would use sponge to drain the fluid out of the entire area under the horizontal plane (below sea level). While draining, it is important to be aware of guardians surrounding the area, you might get seriously injured by their spells. Hence, it is essential to wear proper gear at all times. I hope my preference & tips may be of help to others in need.
Very cool looking video, thank you for sharing
Good shots of the EFCO concrete forms used to build the piers on the Stillwater bridge!
This will probably be in your recommendations in two years or less.

Who’s here from Twitter 👍🏻
When they put in a new bridge over the Sacramento River they used coffers like this for each support. I would walk out to one of them on a beam the workmen used for access. Next I used scaffolding as a ladder to climb all the way to the river bed and drink beer. It was super cold and I could hear the river rushing by on all sides. There were a bunch of leaks that spurted icy river water into the void. It was pretty freaky.
