Extreme Constructions - Complete Series: • Extreme Constructions ...
The plan to build a surge barrier against the tides that cause the so called “Acqua Alta” has been underway for nearly forty years, but only now is the massive 7-billion-euro surge barrier nearing completion. This documentary looks at the engineering, construction and instalment of this huge and unique mobile dyke that sits invisible under the Venice lagoon, until high tides trigger it to rise from the sea bed to protect the ancient City of Water.
The last two stages of the construction of this enormous barrage involved placing the massive concrete underwater housing for the caissons that act as a barrier at the bottom of the lagoon entrance channels. The transport of the massive MOSE surge barrier and all its concrete and steel parts is a true feat of heavy lift technology and maritime engineering. Transporting the concrete beds required the customised construction of a catamaran that could be tugged over the exact location in the approach channels to the port of Venice, precisely identified using GPS while lowering the barriers involved a jack up tower which slowly sank them into place.
Today the system is fully operational. But only time will tell if this costly and controversial new maritime engineering solution to Venice’s nagging high water problem will actually work.

I’ve told TH-cam I’m not interested in this channel but they keep shoving it down my throat. Nothing against you.
Looking forward to when mother nature humbles the engineers and the ones that ok'd this.
Like gravity, nature always wins.
Can't wait for the sewage to back up! 😊
Yes, in the end we were always humbled. For example, by nature we can’t fly, so nowadays it’s impossible to fly. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, infections are all natural, and in fact there is no way to cure them. Hell, we can’t breath underwater, and in fact oxygen masks were always a failure. I guess we should just all surrender to nature and leave until 30 eating grass and raw meat 😄

I can only imagine the short cuts in materials quality that were used to please the corruption quota.
This doc is old, this is pretty much a total failure.
Yeo they have too use it too often and it costs too much to operate never mind maintenance which is far far higher than expected @@justhefacts8358

Excellent work! Congratulations. 👍
Not having fresh sea water is an issue, however dumping sewage freely is a much bigger environmental problem.
That's just nasty! 🤮
Estaria bueno saber como hacen para evitar que pase el agua entre las compuertas o por debajo de ellas. Es decir cómo es el sellado estanco final del sistema una vez elevada la barrera.
Globos o bolsas lleno de arena. Poner debajo de Las puertas
😅😅well information good show 😅
If the sea level has risen over the last 100 years then why aren't the marshlands permanently under water by now.
The marshes are not static, they grow too. So long as there is not a catastrophic sea level rise the growth of the marshes in height can keep up with the rise in sea level. Buildings however don't increase their height naturally.
@@justinmorgan2126 I guess Nature works in strange ways. The ground under marshes lifts up but the ground under man made buildings doesn't. Convenient, isn't it.
The earth will continue to have sea level rise. So regardless of how massive the barriers are, eventually they will become obsolete. Would it not be easier to RAISE Venice -or- float it ?
Adoraria ter estes docs dublados em português do Brasil por IA.

i'm pretty sure the canals of Venice way back in its early ancient days were road ways but since the city floods they dug the canals to reduce flooding but since it's sinking the flooding gets worse over time
Good to the city not every week its flooding.
Italy it is very rich and powerful, for Italy 7bilion they are insignificant. 7mondial economy,
Nas primeiras cidades novas facam longe das falhas tectonicas. As falhas vao sofrer tremores e trincas e pequenas diferencas de nivel na acomodacao final . Vai ser mundial no 7 castigo. Calma. Precisam se planejar. E construir em lugar seguro. Se alguma cidade desejar fazer errado nao assinamos responsabilidade tectonica .
The obvious bias' of the documentary makers is infuriating.

Italians are nothing less than great imaginative engineers, all bar those who have Mafia in their name as without them 'worldwide' Italy would rise as a nation. The rest of the world should take note too.
How is it an environment fix … the city is unsafe ground … they may have to accept it’s time to move on…. To higher ground….
Spend so much money and Venice still floods. Just floods less
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
A massive failure, when the barriers are raised silt accumulates in the cavity left making it impossible to lower the barriers again, that is if the corrosion on the hinges doesn't lead to catastrophic failure when they try to raise the barriers, or the massive growth of the marine mussels hasn't totally clogged up the workings. Then there is also the corrosion problem with the barriers waiting to be installed, because they started rusting from the salt laden air. I'm sure going into salt water was thought of by the designers
They simply wanne make more money so they hardly close them so the cruise ships can enter.
If you're gonna make statements (positive OR negative) provide some sources, or you sound like an armchair pundit with zero credibility.
Please fix your sewer problem…the Ocean is not a garbage dump…

I totally agree, stop messing with mother nature, we should not be trying to change things to suite our life style. We build on the shores within two feet of high tide and then we are upset because our home was washed away and expect some one other then ourselves to bail us out of our own stuipidity.
A great country!!! Roman Empire engineering
Why don't they treat their waste water then pump it through an underground pipe out into the open sea?
Its not going to for long
Attempt is a fail!
We are just coming off one of the lowest sea levels in Earth's history. In the last 12000 years the average sea level rise is around 9mm per year, in the last 300 years it has slowed to around 4mm per year. To say it is a man made emergency is just not true.
The rate the ice is melting is far faster than previous natural cycles and the increases match exactly with the industrial era and so on. Not a coincidence.
congrats on a totally nonsensical sentence.
@@FredBloggsTheThird Ahhhh. It wasn't a sentence. It was a paragraph. If you don't believe me maybe you'll believe Penn State University. They completed a pretty thorough study. Do a search on "Penn State sea levels" click on the result headed "Dutton institute" and scroll down to "Post glacial sea levels" you will see I'm 💯 correct. Be brave, challenge your narrative. Listen less, think more. I'll take your lack of reply as conceding and apologizing. 😁
Sure, the worlds best scientists totally don't understand how it works but YOU'VE figured it out because you know better.... you're hilarious.
@@justinmorgan2126 It's not an opinion, it's data. Listen less, think more.

There is a solution, but this wasn't it.
Hahahaah
This project is a total failure, Venice continues floading 😅 Every time they use cost 100 of thousands of Euros and an army of people to operate
How far has the Adriatic risen? 10 inches over 100 years. (Which is questionable). Of course climate change is too blame. Where'd I leave my panic button?
Sea level didn't rise 😂 imagine a glass of water filled to the brim then you add ice cubes ,kinda like the sea with all the junk and ships and garbage accumulation
There is also Rain that falls. Maybe Snow too. Sea levels do rise. It just that ordinary people don’t take the time to see it.
Yes and look at all that water going into the seas from river estuary’s .
Billion Dollar scam no 6
SEA LEVELS DID NOT RISE; THEY ARE EXACTLY AS THEY WERE 100 YEARS AGO...35 Years of experience as a builder and engineer...Sea level is a datum point used worldwide in the construction of every object constructed on land...You can take the elevation plans for any antique building and track back to sea level...The water isn't "rising' in Venice; THE CITY IS SINKING! It's constructed centuries ago on wood pilings ...LOL...
👏 you're awesome 🤜
Exactly the wooden poles the stonework of the city sits on is sinking and rotting@@sunny-delite
@@sunny-delite fake account...
Maybe technically correct but a bit misleading. Sea levels may be at the same level as they were 100,000 years ago but they have been fluctuating wildly in that time. We are just coming off one of the lowest sea levels in Earth's history. In the last 12000 years the average sea level rise is around 9mm per year, in the last 300 years it has slowed to around 4mm per year. To say it is a man made emergency is just not true..
@@bikepacker9850 it's not man made (as it's an ice age ending part of a natural cycle!) but man has accelerated it dramatically ironically its not co2 doing the damage but refrigeration gases, methane and the like doing the a majority of the long term damage not too sau co2 levels are not a very important part
I don’t think it’s going to work
Amazing. Absolutely useless in a rapid heating planet but what a marvel of engeneering!
a marvel of engineering! that significantly contributed to rapidly heating the planet when you think about all the fuel burned alone to create something like this.
There is no sewage system they are requiring sanitation by dumping raw sewage into the ocean and then expecting it to be flushed out into the sea twice a day are you freaking kidding me.... Very 2024 environmentally friendly😂
This is BS and a proper waste of money.Building things like this cost other countries to suffer & dis city will go down eventually with global warming add another 20 yrs to this let's come back & talk about this BS

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
