    Storyline

    Edit
    Each episode of Extreme Engineering features a major construction and engineering project. Some projects are completed ones, like the new Hong Kong airport. Other projects are those under construction like the Gotthard Base Tunnel under the Alps. Still other episodes showcase futuristic projects that may never be built, like the Transatlantic Tunnel. Most episodes examine possible disaster scenarios that could threaten the projects. —sasan khodaverdi

    • Trivia
      Engineering the Impossible (2002) was a pilot produced by Powderhouse Productions for the Discovery Channel that discussed incredible engineering projects. This program won the Beijing International Science Film Festival Silver Award, and earned Discovery's third highest Monday night rating for 2002. After the success of this program, Discovery commissioned the first season of "Extreme Engineering". Like "Engineering the Impossible", the first season of "Extreme Engineering" focused on extreme projects of the future. Season 2 (and all seasons since) featured projects already in construction around the world.
