Top 10 civil engineering wonders

Top 10 Civil Engineering Wonders Civil engineering projects yet dominate headlines across the world. From the world’s tallest building to the biggest manmade islands, people everywhere are dependent upon civil engineering innovations.

Let’s see some of the most amazing civil engineering wonders and construction projects throughout time.

Three Gorges Dam (2003) The world’s largest dam and also the largest hydroelectric power plant, has a height of 185 m. The hydroelectric plant is built inside and produces a total of 4.7 billion kWh each year.

During construction, 27.2 million cubic metres of concrete were used.

Jeddah Tower (Currently under Construction) Earlier known as the Kingdom tower, construction began on this building in spring 2013. When completed, the Jeddah Tower is estimated to cost 1.2 billion US dollars and top the charts as the world’s tallest building.

Carlsbad Desalination Plant (Presently under Construction) In southern California, fresh drinking water is hard to come by.

The Carlsbad Plant aims to take the salt out of 50 million gallons per day and supply San Diego County residents with drinking water.

Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (2010) This 102.4 mile bridge holds the title of world’s longest bridge yet, and it took 4 years to construct. Unlike most bridges, it is built on a viaduct design, spanning many valleys and connecting the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing in the Jiangsu province of China.

Palm Islands (2014) This resort island stands as a major civil engineering achievement in Dubai, because everything about it was constructed from sea floor up. 3 Billion cubic feet of sand was dredged from the sea floor by barges.

Venice Tide Barrier Project (2015) As one of the most picturesque cities in the world, Venice, is covered in beauty, but the city faces major engineering problems. The city has been covered in recent years by flooding from rain as well as rising sea levels. This project, though not tremendous in scale, captivates engineers with its unique design and importance to the protection of this famous city.

Kansai Airport (1994) When Japanese engineers did not have room to expand the Osaka International Airport due to crowding, they sought a more unusual foundation technique. Chinese engineers built an island, upon which they built one of the world’s longest airports. The airport built on the island is a marvel in itself, taking the shape of a plane wing to withstand typhoon level winds, common to the area.

Delaware Aqueduct (1945) The Delaware Aqueduct, possibly one of the least identifiable projects on the list, is not lacking in its civil engineering wonder. It spans a total of 137 km; this major aqueduct holds the title of longest tunnel in the world.

Mubarak Pumping Station (2005) Like many other countries, Egypt has experienced exponential growth in recent years. The engineers built a pumping station aimed at making up to 25% of Egypt’s land habitable. Prior to this project, only 5% of the country’s land

was considered to be able to sustain human development and life.

Lake Kariba (1963) By volume, Lake Kariba is the largest man-made reservoir in the world, sitting miles north of the Indian Ocean on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. It covers a total area of 5580 square kilometres, this lake has a maximum capacity of 185 cubic km of water.
