Germany's Highest Construction Site: Building A Record-Breaking Cable Car | FD Engineering Building a Mega Airport - The €4 Billion Terminal Project: https://youtu.be/hWnvS7LkfHg At nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, engineers take on one of Germany's most ambitious mountain construction projects: replacing the aging cable car to the summit of the Zugspitze. Battling fierce winds, freezing temperatures, and an extraordinarily tight construction site, crews use helicopters, cranes, and specially built transport systems to move thousands of tons of material up Germany's highest mountain. At the heart of the project is a 127-meter steel tower and enormous suspension cables weighing 153 tons each. Follow the crews as they dismantle the old system, haul the new cables up the mountainside and install the massive cabins with millimeter precision. After three years of construction, the new Zugspitze cable car opens with three world records – including the tallest aerial tramway tower, the longest free span and the greatest single-section elevation difference. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #construction ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary - Engineering Channel: https://bit.ly/FDEngineering ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ “Engineering: the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building and use of engines, machines and structures.” So says the Webster definition.
