Inside the planning of a megastructure or the anatomy of how a megastructure comes about:
We’ve got an idea: 2003
Will it work? Is it possible?: 2009
Six years later, they’ve figured it out.
Yes. Let’s do this. Construction begins 2015
It will be finished by 2021 and will be the longest subsea interconnector pipeline in the world.
The timeline gives us a clue, an idea of the scope of such a project. Our documentary takes you along for the toughest parts of this megastructure. The construction part. The laying of the longest pipeline (consisting of 100,000 individual pipes) into the floor of the North Sea.
Spoiler alert: the unexpected thrill of finding treasures from sunken ships from the 17th and 18th century during construction. How friggin awesome is that?
