Construction Fails
Channel: National Geographic Channel (DStv 181 / StarSat 220)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Clip Show, Documentary Series
Construction fails happen every day, but sometimes the damage is catastrophic.
This factual, fast-paced show investigates the most spectacular mishaps, what went wrong, and how the disaster could have been averted.
Combining live footage with CGI animation, this show examines well-known disasters, such as the Notre Dame fire, and the collapse of the Georgia Dome, but also more minor incidents.
Presented in a light-hearted and accessible manner, Construction Fails shows what happens when things go drastically wrong.
In the series premiere: Episode 1 begins on an unremarkable Dutch canal. What we see unfold, however, is anything but.
It's one of the most dramatic construction catastrophes in recent history: a double telescopic crane collapse, a barge capsizing and a 187-ton bridge span all careening into a quiet residential neighbourhood resulting in the total destruction of dozens of homes.
The reason? A combination of wind, lack of balance and crane operator error.
From there, we travel to Asia, where some of the world's biggest construction sites fail before construction even begins.
We witness a variety of construction site collapses: massive holes in the ground that implode in dramatic fashion, hurling retaining walls, roads and equipment dozens of metres below into a pit.
Substandard soil conditions and reclaimed land seem to be the biggest reasons for these fails.
