Extreme Engineering: Boston's Big Dig DVD
Discovery Channel Store
Witness the final stages of one of the largest, most technically challenging infrastructure projects in American history: Boston's Big Dig. An effort to alleviate the city's notorious traffic congestion by burying a super-highway 120 feet below the city's surface, it's a project that will rival the pyramids in terms of sheer engineering marvel.Engineers and city planners have worked on the project for a dozen years, and are now only three years from completion. Join them as they explain how this subterranean artery will work. Ten lanes of asphalt will burrow beneath the heart of downtown, snaking above and below existing subway lines and within inches of skyscrapers to relieve gridlock and reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 12 percent. It's a gargantuan undertaking, costing more than $14 billion and shifting enough dirt to fill 15 football stadiums. But, while computer animation demonstrates the tunnel's resistance to massive earthquakes, technicians reveal that a simple two-car accident in the belly of the multi-lane beast could sink the entire project. Could Boston's Big Dig be the answer to the city's transit troubles, or will it drive motorists to seek higher ground?This title is part of Season 1.

The trouble is, they're operating on shaky ground smack in the middle of hurricane alley, on the most earthquake-prone piece of real estate on the East Coast and right in the path of the world's largest, heaviest container ships. With the full fury of storm season looming on the horizon, watch as workers scramble to finish the project before Mother Nature hits. Working from opposite banks, 200 feet over the Cooper River, they have just one week to hang 250 tons of steel and concrete in order to bring the disjointed strands of the bridge together.

With the foundation and most of the ground-level attractions complete, the goal is to raise the 4,000-ton top-level section and carefully fit it into place. Watch as workers slowly hoist the structure off the desert floor, using a complex system of steel cables all the while monitoring the ascent for any sign of buckling or cracking in the straining steel.This title is part of Season 3.
