The most impressive feats of engineering and construction in the world today
There are some feats of construction and engineering that simply boggle the mind. Many of these megastructures are testaments to what humanity can achieve. For today’s blog, Reddy Kancharla features some of the most awe-inspiring of these structures.
Starting off with an all-American classic, Reddy Kancharla introduces the San Francisco Bridge to Oakland. This monument has an eye-popping width of 79 meters and spans over 3 kilometers. A 6.4 billion-dollar bridge, the San Francisco Bridge has often been recognized as one of the most traveled on and useful structures in this part of the country.
Next up, we have the Jubail Industrial City, an industrial park constructed over four decades ago. For over 40 years, the mammoth park has been expanded countless times, evolving into one of the largest megaprojects in the history of man.
Tokyo is filled with incredible modern-day structures that reflect the greatness of the Japanese when it comes to technology and creation. Among all these structures, Reddy Kancharla is most impressed by the Tokyo Skytree. People who venture up this towering 635-meter feat of construction and engineering get to see the most breathtaking view of Japan’s capital.
Finally, Reddy Kancharla mentions the Panama Canal, which is all the more impressive given that it was constructed over a century ago. This 6.1 kilometer lane of water allows sea vessels to cross land from one ocean to another.
A civil engineer with more than 25 years of experience in civil construction and geotechnical consultation, Reddy Kancharla has worked in various companies and served different positions. For similar reads, go to this Twitter page.
