Same here. I recognize the language, but do not comprehend what was said. I even chuckled when he said “winches”, until I saw that it wasn’t spelled “wenches”... 🤦🏾♀️
I believe the ocean floor is mapped and studied , depth is one factors to determined if a bridge could go over, not all areas of the ocean are very deep.
@@Bubba1960. Considering I have to at least learn it for four and a half year, and still have to learn a lot, lot more to actually build one that size... Yes, it's f-ing complicated and frustrating.

Glad I ain't the only one. Whenever I've looked at Bridges I've marvelled and wondered at the same time as to how tf they built it cos it just looked impossible but yet evidently possible
I worked on bridges/overpasses/concrete structures and really liked it.Worked on the road all the time,never made it back to where I lived till season was over.It's not a job for someone with a family,it's for the single guy and this one had fun.Never bothered buying a house untill I was 37,would have never been in it much...but I have one now.Resigential construction now,renovating houses,really like this as well...yee haw !
The best thing is how everything is lined up so perfectly over long distances. Everything is perfect by the numbers. That’s what’s so amazing about engineering. Numbers boggles the brain lol
RUclips is proof that human beings are fabulously intelligent, caring and wonderful. So many of their videos reinforce the last sentence.

I'm more impressed by bridges that were made over a century ago. They did not have the technology we have now and still managed to build these iconic bridges.
We give high accolades to those in the medical profession,and rightfully so. That said...building engineers are just as awe inspiring in the field that they are in.

Very instructive video. I have always wondered how concrete is poured into river beds without trying to find an answer. Many thanks for removing my ignorance to some extent!😊
I always wondered if those bridges were held by a floating mechanism or some ships holding the weight. Thanks for making me know what is the real reason.
Was fortunate to work on the the new Oakland-Bay Bridge 2004-07. Honored and proud to be apart of history. 1 of 2 bridges I had the privilege to work on.
hats off to those people constructing bridges all over the world. Salute to Engineers and non engineers. We need this people for the safety of our bridges.
I searched for like30 mins trying to find a good one and this is what I am looking for! We just went to San Clemente pier on T-Street. And there is a long pier so we wanted to see how piers are built! Thank you.
It's just a lot of engineering and innovation going into building this. You don't get ir because you'd never fathom something this detailed yet amazing on your own
“we dont think of them much, even when we’re passing over them” am i the only one that questions the structural integrity of the bridge as i pass over it
I used to be worried about bridges collapsing while I was committing suicide but now I can jump at ease every time! Couldn't have done it without you all -- and can't wait to do it again!
I used to think about this since childhood and had a visual in my mind about how it would have been done. finally this video tell us how bridges are built in water
Wait but how did they build the Golden Gate Bridge and the bridges of New York if they didn’t have all the advanced technology like the ones in this video?
So they pile in soil/rock to creat temporary islands with shallow builds. But for super deeper water locations, they just get giant poles, ram them in till they get near the surface? Then start pouring concrete on top? Or pour it straight into the water on the poles? Then use floating vessels to help haul machines and other bridge sections into place like lego?
It depends on how deep the particular area is. I think there are depths that can be reached, and others that can't be. I've heard of depths that are twice as high as volcanic mountains. I doubt a bridge will be constructed in such an area. However, I'm sure somebody could figure out how to do even that.
Where would we be without engineers and scientists. It's difficult to appreciate the sheer skill and technology that goes into building these structures. Why don't we have people like these directing the future of the world instead of corrupt politicians and greedy money-men.
There some mistakes in the video. The video said that piles are driven until they “turn”. Battered piles are driven at very precise angles so that the top ends up in the exactly correct location in the footing.
In Michigan we have some incredible bridges. 😎 The Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor Canada is over the Detroit River had the longest suspended central span in the world when it was completed in 1929-1,850 feet (560 m). The Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's Lower Peninsula to the Upper Peninsula and is 5-miles long. Just to name a couple...
I just come back from fishing on the bridge battered piles, the time i was fishing and this question appear how did they made this must be difficult because i can tell the water around 20 feet deep when the tide water down and i can see pillar under the platform that we fishing from and now i know bridge engineering is marvel and appreciate bridge everytime i near it

No need to call people names.
Besides, they have offshore drilling structures that are built in the ocean.

Pontoon bridges are bridges where the weight is held up by several boats tied underneath the bridge

Hand down and hats off to all those engineers and architectures !
This is the fastest random recommendation I've ever got from RUclips. 11 months.
Just wow …. Amazing
despite not really engineering there is just something that fascinates me to know about it and understand how certain things were made
Still confused. What if the soil below the water is like a mile down. How do u drive a pile there
Finally! I've always wanted to know this my whole life but felt lazy to research😂
Civil Engineering is underrated
also the easiest

Thats crazy. The part about the bends. From the air pressure because they're below sea level working but arent actually under water.

This video is highly enlightening! Thanks. I just subscribed.
Bridges are marvels of ingenuity. Amazing creations of transport across lands.
Let us assume, we have built cofferdam in a certain portion.But how we will drive other piles along the whole bridge at different positions?
This guy said piledrive like a million times in two minutes and then everything was just more confusing and confusing as the video went on.
Thanks guy(s). Always wondered about this. Am subscribing!
I didn't ask to see this, but I watched the whole thing.
Bridges are very conspicuous. Tunnels are inconspicuous. Like Robert Moses once said, "What's so great about a tunnel? You can't even see it!"
Wow I didn't think it was that simple, thank you for explaining!
it.shows me in my recommendation
So without all of this modern technology it still makes me wonder how they built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge.
