Travel the world to break down the most astounding, complex engineering feats to date with architect Danny Forster. From the skyscrapers of Dubai to the amusement parks of Minnesota, explore the design and structure of these mega-constructions while learning first-hand knowledge and background facts about each site. Working with designers, engineers, builders, and those who work on these structures, discover the most dangerous, ingeniously executed aspects of each job. Turbo-Charged Boats. Danny travels down to Palm Beach, Florida to participate in the rebuilding and practice test of an offshore racing boat. After getting initiated by the crew, Danny enters the pit with the rest of the guys from AMF Offshore racing. Mountain of Steel. Galicia, Spain, is spending half a billion dollars constructing a monumental cultural center on a hilltop overlooking the medieval city of Santiago Di Compostela. Danny Forster lends a hand erecting these six buildings in this wildly designed complex.
Based on the success of Extreme Engineering, the Discovery Channel offered Danny his own, new show: Build it Bigger. The 14-episode premiere season, which began July 10, finds Danny travelling to dangerous depths and (of course) nauseating heights in search of incredible feats of architecture and engineering underway now. He doesn`t just point helpfully from a comfortable distance; he gets right in there and tries his hand, for a few minutes anyway, at the crazy-hard jobs that make these projects possible. Welding upside down 1,000 feet in the air? No problem for the unbelievably brave man who does it every day. For Danny it`s a panic attack.
Episode(s) تعداد قسمتها :
1- Coaster Build Off
Building a wooden roller coaster is simple: you need hammer, nails, and a plan just like that weekend deck project. Except imagine working on your deck 100 feet in the air, at 30 degrees below zero
2- M1 Abrams Tank Repair
Most of the projects I look at have an end-point the day the iron workers pack it in, the tunnel is dug, the champagne bottle breaks across the hull of the cruise ship. But for army tanks, maintenance is as colossal a job as construction.
3- Shanghai World Financial Center
Don`t ask me what Shanghai is like, because I have no idea. My sightseeing was confined to the nervewracking experience of watching out my hotel window in my pjs: construction was going on 24 hours a day on the skyscraper across the street, which will be the tallest in the world.
4- Super Fast Warship
Go on board to see the construction of a U.S. Navy destroyer with host Danny Forster. He will be put to work around the ship through its war games, getting a behind the scenes look at how this high tech ship works.
5- Boot Camp
This may come as a surprise to you, but I donâââ‰â¢t have a lot of experience on a construction site. So Discovery thought I should get a little training, perhaps thinking this would lower their insurance rates.
6- Fault Zone Tunnel
The highly populated desert that is Southern California gets much of its water from the Sacramento Delta. So as not to disrupt the mating cycles of the salmon, there`s going to be a new time limit on pumping water from the Delta.
7- Post Katrina Modular Houses
Even the simplest house takes months to build the typical way on site, from the ground up (called Stick building). But Mississippi doesn`t have that kind of time, not since it lost 70,000 homes to Hurricane Katrina.
8- World`s Largest Cruise Ship
In a better world, everyone who helps build a cruise ship should get a ride on one, because, boy, the building part is no vacation. The one I worked on will be one of the world`s biggest cruise ships, the Independence, sister ship to Royal Caribbean`s Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas.
9- Biggest Casino
Build an enormous, opulent luxury hotel and casino. Build it smack in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Build it very, very fast. While you`re at it, swank up its sister hotel room by room, floor by floor, without disturbing the guests.
10- Trump Tower Chicago
Host Danny Forester goes inside the building of Trump`s Tower in Chicago, not your ordinary super-skyscraper. This one is made entirely of reinforced concrete, making it the tallest formwork structure on the planet.
11- Turbo-Charged Boats
Danny travels down to Florida to participate in the rebuilding and practice test of an offshore racing boat.
12- Mountain of Steel
City of Culture it sounds so mysterious and futuristic. And as designed by famed architect Peter Eisenman, it is: a 6-building, 173-acre complex that encompasses the artistic, literary, and historical heritage of Spain, all set on a mountaintop in gorgeous Santiago de Compostela.
13- Deepest Tunnel
Istanbul is the only city in the world linking two continents; it spans the Bosphorus Strait between Asia and Europe. Right now you can cross by bridge or ferry, either of which is headache of congested traffic. But by 2010, if all goes as planned, you`ll be able to go by subway.
14- Major League Stadium
In Washington, DC, 800 workers attempt to design and build a $650 million baseball stadium in less than two years. Danny Forster finds out if they can finish the 41,000-seat Nationals stadium, complete with the largest scoreboard in the US, on schedule.
