Documentary: Kings Of Construction - 3 DVD Box Set - GRD1367

Disc 1. Dubai Ski Resort

1 x 54:00 min 

How do you build the world's biggest artificial ski slope in the middle of the desert? Ski Dubai is an engineering project demanding quick solutions to unpredictable problems. When complete, The Mall of the Emirates will house the first indoor black ski run but the pressure of lifting a 3,000 ton section of slope over 60 metres into the air brings engineers to near breaking point.

Disc 2. Gotthard Base Tunnel

1 x 54:00 min

Engineers are burrowing through the heart of Europe excavating two of the world's longest and deepest tunnels ever created. At nearly 58 kilometres long, The Gotthard Base Tunnel will allow trains to travel though the imposing Alps at over 250 km per hour. It is the world's most challenging and dynamic tunneling project ever to be undertaken.

Disc 3. Stonecutters Bridge

1 x 47:00 min

The Stonecutters Bridge will provide a route from Hong Kong into mainland China across its famous harbour. With a main span of over a thousand metres, it will be the world's longest cable-stayed bridge and its huge towers will be taller than the Eiffel Tower. It's an enormous engineering challenge for our Kings of Construction.
