Using spectacular CGI, witness the virtual construction of these mega structures and learn about the obstacles and challenges that must be overcome, and how technology is advancing today to accommodate the needs of these awe-inspiring structures of tomorrow.
Mega Engineering premieres every Thur at 9pm, starting Feb 25, and repeats the same night at midnight, Fri at 3pm, Sat at 5am and 11pm, and Sun at 5pm on Discovery Channel.
Humankind is on the verge of a new era of mind-blowing global engineering projects that make today's most ambitious constructions look like child's play.
Inflating the designs of masterminds to the largest proportions, Mega Engineering supersizes a geodesic dome to cover the entire city of Houston, stretches an underwater tunnel farther than ever before to connect continents, and contemplates new solutions to turn our massive seas into habitable space.
Mega Engineering kicks off with projects that seem impossible and ideas borne from science fiction, but seeing is truly believing as we are taken around the world to visit sites that shoulder the toughest engineering challenges.
Grab a front-row seat at the drafting table as visionary engineers, designers, architects and scientists aim to warp past today's limits and formulate real solutions to bring their extraordinary visions ever closer to fruition.
Mega Engineering: DC Road Construction
This clip from Discovery Channel's "Mega Engineering" explores the costly road construction project on a major traffic artery connecting Washington, D.C. to Maryland.
