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!

Real OGs know you use sand sponges and a block of your choice like dirt
-
That would be scary to be inside a pit surrounded by walls of water.
-
Amazing how they get those bridge sections perfectly aligned with each other.
-
Interesting! I’ve always wonder how they did this.
-
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
-
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.
-
It’s so cool to see this; all this engineering never ceases to amaze me.
-
I’ve crossed that Stillwater bridge many times, and it’s so cool every time to see it. It’s tall and it looks like it’s almost flying.

Sea wind farm : takes 23 monthes A road in my city: takes forever
-
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...
-
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.

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.
-
Imagine building somthing like this around the titanic wreck site. Would be interesting.
-
There's plenty of space!🙄 Look at all those abandoned buildings in Detroit! Baltimore, etc!🤷🏿♂️

It was so amazing seeing things on earth like these man-made structures! 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 and things / materials are widely available for these purposes. 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.

Amazing how they get those bridge sections perfectly aligned with each other. I wonder if they ever made a miscalculation...
-
Really cool video but I was hoping to see how they secure these to the sea floor.
-
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
-
These workers and Engineer's have my respect 🔥
-
I got to admit, living in a house underwater would be amazing.
