Japan's Gargantuan Flood Defences

All of the megastructures you see in Anime?

Based on a true story.  Especially the Nethers from Fire Force.

You see, Japan is actually a society, and so built MASSIVE flood management systems.  All with building codes that have extremely high standards for earthquake proofing.  And one of the world’s best train systems.

"Construction projects can sometimes raise questions about whether they’re really necessary, but that’s not the case here. This historic structure simply has to make way for a new and improved version."

- Fred Mills, on the new Grimsel Dam in Switzerland, B1M

Context: The existing dam was built in the 1930s, and is responsible for a massive portion of the Swiss electrical grid, but has been developing a crack that cannot be safely fixed, and so a new dam needs to be built.

Boston, MA moved a highway underground in ~15 years The Big Dig: Central Artery Tunnel Project The Central Artery/Tunnel Project was the largest, most challenging highway project in the history of the United States. It reduced traffic and improved mobility in one of America's oldest, most congested major cities. It built a framework for continued growth in Massachusetts and New England. Additionally, it improved the local environment. The project replaced Boston's deteriorating six-lane elevated Central Artery (I-93). It did so with an underground highway that is state of the art and two new bridges over the Charles River. It also extended I-90 to Boston's Logan International Airport, and Route 1A. This project created more than 300 acres of open land while reconnecting downtown Boston to the waterfront. #urbanplanning #Tunnels #Boston #Engineering #projects #Transport #infrastructure #Megaprojects #Road #tunnels #Massachusetts #construction #civilengineering https://www.instagram.com/engineeringandarchitecture/p/CZKYGjTFlHr/?utm_medium=tumblr
