The Rio-Antirio bridge is a cable-stayed bridge near Patra
on the Peloponnese, linking the towns of Rio and Antirrio on the western
mainland Greece, thus connecting with the rest of Europe.
The bridge dramatically improves access to and from the Peloponnese,
which could previously be reached only by ferry or via the isthmus of
Corinth at its extreme east end. It has a length of 2252 m (2882 m
including the access bridges); as it consists entirely of five
cable-stayed spans and four pylons, and it is one of the world's longest
cable-stayed suspended decks. Its width is 28 meters -- it has two
vehicle lanes per direction, an emergency lane and a pedestrian walkway.

Hoover Dam

Throughout human history, mankind has built monuments to
its ingenuity and skill. In Egypt it was the Pyramids. Rome, built the
Colosseum. The Greeks built the Acropolis. The great cathedrals of
Europe raised the skills of their builders to unequalled heights,
creating awe inspiring structures. In the Americas, the cliff dwellings
of Mesa Verde and the high mountain city of Machu Pichu speak to the
skill and ingenuity of their builders. In the modern era, it's buildings
that reach near half a mile into the sky, bridges that stretch enormous
distances in a single span, and machines that extend mankind's reach far
into space. One monument that must surely be counted among the great
achievements of mankind is Hoover Dam.

An enormous project is underway in the Arabian Gulf that
will change the face of the coastline. It is so vast that it can be seen
from space. Palm Jumeirah, one of the most audacious engineering
projects the world has ever seen, is an artificial island in the shape
of a massive palm tree. A breathtaking megastructure and an ambitious
engineering feat, Palm Jumeirah is part of an even bigger plan to
transform Dubai into one of the world's premiere tourist destinations.
But with only a few years to create this paradise island, it's a race
against time. Besides the construction of the island, there is also the
challenge of building a small city, including 4,500 luxury houses and
apartments, 29 hotels, miles of roads, and all the utilities required by
the thousands of people who will be living on and using this island
including water, electricity, gas and sewage. The project is due for
completion in 2008 - are they on course to meet their deadline? And what
other megastructures has the Sheikh planned for Dubai?

Located near Johannesburg, South Africa, the Tau Tona is a
gold mine. The Tau Tona is the main economic life blood of Johannesburg,
supplying half the world’s gold needs. It is the deepest and largest
working mine in the world. Its main shaft is 3.6 km deep and consists of
800 km of tunneling. This episode gives viewers a tour of the dynamic
systems involved in maintaining a working environment deep in the earth.
It also provides a glimpse of what life as a mine worker is like in Tau
Tona. Risking heat exhaustion, and with 10 earthquakes a day, the miners
work through narrow tunnels to extract gold from a 25 cm thick gold vein
