Building Giants
This landmark series follows the men and women building eight of the world's most extraordinary structures, exploring engineering innovations that will change the face of construction forever.
Record Breaking Railway
In the United Kingdom, engineers battle tight deadlines, complex terrain and live infrastructure to build HS2 - a record-breaking high-speed railway linking London and Birmingham.
Ultimate Bridge
In Denmark, engineers battle icy seas, powerful currents and punishing deadlines to build a four-kilometer-long mega bridge that will form part of a major new European transport link.
Floating Stadium
In Liverpool, engineers battle unstable ground, wartime hazards and fierce waterfront winds to build a 52,000-seat stadium on a former dock in record time.
Super Airport
In Germany, engineers battle groundwater, tight space and complex logistics to build Frankfurt Airport's Terminal 3 - a vast new mega hub designed to handle 19 million passengers a year.
Super Cargo Ship
In the Netherlands, engineers race to build Hawaikinui 2 - a next-generation cargo ship designed to supply some of the most remote islands in the South Pacific.
Alps Mega Tunnel
In France and Italy, engineers battle crushing rock pressure, unstable geology and extreme underground conditions to build the longest railway tunnel ever constructed beneath the Alps.
Athens Super Skyscraper
In Greece, engineers battle earthquakes, unstable ground and coastal winds to build the country's first true skyscraper on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Mountain Sky Train
In the Swiss Alps, engineers battle extreme heights, brutal weather and near-vertical terrain to build a record-breaking mountain cableway to the summit of Schilthorn.
Extreme Railway
In Poland, engineers battle unstable mountains, methane gas and treacherous terrain to build a new high-speed railway through the Carpathian foothills.
Mega Dam
In Colorado, engineers battle drought, extreme weather and immense water pressure to raise a 70-year-old dam to record-breaking heights.
