If they are not successful, a generation of endangered salmon returning to spawn may be wiped out. Witness the Bahrain World Trade Center. Two story glass "sails" rise over meters into the sky along the shores of the Persian Arabian Gulf. This unique architectural marvel is powered in part by a revolutionary new means for a building this size - wind.

It's the world's first large-scale integration of wind turbines into a skyscraper. Three massive turbines will supply clean power to the buildings. In this hour, we explore the science behind the concept and discover how engineers and construction crews attempt to tackle this audacious project.

In an oil-rich region of the world, the team transforms the vision to reality and looks to the future, committed to a renewable energy source of mega proportions.

With fluctuating energy prices and concerns over global warming, solar power as a renewable energy is being seen in a new, more urgent, light. AeroTurbine in Goodyear, AZ breaks down and recycles a Hoover Dam is regarded as an engineering masterpiece and an America icon.

In this one hour program, we ask a team of engineers what they would do the same and what they would do differently Not only is there a tight timetable, everything must be salvaged or recycled.

But before the team can break down the stadium, they have to save parts of it. The iconic Orange Bowl, is about to be history. In the extreme Russian north a team of engineers are ready to dismantle a Typhoon-class submarine — the world's largest nuclear submarine. In its heyday, this monster sub was a terrifying weapon of war.

It prowled the oceans of the world armed with 20 deadly nuclear missiles. Now that the Cold War is over, the Typhoon is ready for demolition. But dismantling a submarine with two nuclear reactors is a risky mission. It will take the team over a year to remove the radioactive nuclear fuel, move the submarine into the dry dock and cut its hull into pieces small enough for recycling.

This installment follows the demolition of a year-old rocket launch tower at Cape Canaveral. This tough, 90m high structure represents a massive logistical challenge for a family of demolition experts.

Workers must brave high winds at great heights to ensure charges are planted correctly. Explorers the innovative construction of 1 Bryant Park.

For over 40 years the Big Red Box at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, carried skiers, hikers, paragliders and sightseers up to the 3,metre summit of Rendezvous Mountain. But nothing lasts forever, so when cable inspector Norm Duke found evidence of stress fractures inside the aging steel track cables, there was no choice but to tear down and replace Jackson's iconic aerial tram.

Construction crews battle a record-breaking snowfall, zero visibility, high winds and impassable mud-slick mountain roads to build its five towers and two terminals, and string more than ten miles of heavy steel cable as they risk their lives in a battle to finish before winter closes in.

A huge project is underway in the Arabian Gulf, so vast it can be seen from space. Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree. As the World's insatiable need for oil and gas grows, companies are going deeper, into more hostile environments than ever before.

Watch as we rip apart the largest oil rigs on the planet to reveal the secrets of these amazing technological achievements… and discover if they can survive Mother Nature's most violent forces. Incredible technology is making these 'super copters' much more impervious to attack, with Kevlar and other advanced composite materials strengthening the body - while keeping it lightweight.

Using live action, re-creations, amazing archival footage and advanced CGI, we marvel at the creation of today's 'super copters' - extraordinary multi-purpose helicopters for the twenty-first century. South Korea never constructed a submerged tunnel, but now tackles the challenge of building one of the deepest immersed highways on Earth.

Designed for the fickle conditions of the Pacific, the giant tunnel must be both earthquake and typhoon proof. Locomotives don't last forever. Eventually they go to a scrap yard to die. Their parts are cut up, melted down and ultimately reformed into new products. After serving as home of the New York Yankees for over 80 year's, the iconic Yankee Stadium is set to be demolished.

Join the Mega Breakdown team as they follow just what goes into demolishing this gigantic stadium in the heart of New York City. To save one of the most iconic engineering wonders of all time requires the creation of another masterpiece: the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. Season 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Specials All. Take an eye-popping look at the greatest structures and machines ever created as we focus on some of the world's modern-day super-human miracles of construction.

In only twelve month time she manages to transfer nearly two hundred million standard shipping containers, a cargo worth four-and-half billion dollars, cargo that must be delivered intact and exactly on time - no delays tolerated.

Yet this huge ship has a crew of only twenty-two seafarers who have to be ready for any conditions, any emergency, and must be ready to defend their vessel.

In short, an excellent and very interesting film for the enthusiasts of ship construction and amazing vessels of today, which they will definitely wish to have in their collection of marine videos.

This episode of the Megastructures series by NatGeo is following a professional demolition team attempting to sink the famous aircraft carrier "USS Oriskany" with the ultimate goal to create the huge artificial reef, which in fact is the largest one in the whole world.

The team has to battle through the extremely thick and strong steel plating of the ships hull; the naval architects, divers, engineering units and demolition teams will discover the secrets of sinking the aircraft carrier and write another golden page in the history of marine demolition.

An excellent film about the remarkably large-scale project perfectly organized and realized. You definitely need to see that Welcome to Yangshan which is currently on track to become the largest deep water port ever constructed, a twenty-kilometer quay with fifty berths over thirty kilometers out to the sea; it is linked to China by means of the second longest ocean bridge in the world, where massive cranes and cutting edge control systems and some very, very skilled, experienced and focused personnel are shattering records for the loading and unloading gigantic container vessels.

Spring - the Gudrun Maersk, which is one of the largest container ships on earth sails thirty-two kilometers off the Chinese coast. Her decks have about shipping containers, a multi-million dollar cargo. An thirty-two kilometers out at sea the crew of Gudrun Maersk is just about to put it all overboard at one of the biggest cargo facilities on earth.

The Yangshan deep-water container port. It will be years before this mega-port is finished, but Yangshan's docks are already more than three kilometers in length; on those docks, there are some of the world's biggest cranes, trucks and technically advanced control systems plus some of the world's best container operators waiting for the Gudrun Maersk
