Megaprojects include special economic zones, public buildings, power plants, dams, airports, hospitals, seaports, bridges, highways, tunnels, railways, wastewater projects, oil and natural gas extraction projects, aerospace projects, weapons systems, information technology systems, large-scale sporting events and, more. The Great Wall of China is one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken and holds the distinction of being the longest as well!
The building of the Great Wall began in about 400 B.C and was completed in about A.D 1600 – that’s 2,000 years! HS2 is Europe’s largest mega-project. And we need help to build it. We need ideas, we need technical skills, and we need innovative solutions. Across the UK we’ve got experience in areas like engineering; advanced manufacturing; digital skills and transport. International Space Station, Space. It may not be in the world, but it’s of the world.
At a cost of $150 billion, the International Space Station (ISS) is the most expensive thing ever constructed. Honourees include iconic achievements such as Apollo 11, the Boeing 747® aeroplane, and the Human Genome Project, as well as under-the-radar triumphs like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway and China’s Tengger Desert Solar Park. The top ranked project is the creation of the World Wide Web.
The Elizabeth route, a 100+ kilometer rail route that will travel through 40 stations from Heathrow and Reading in the west to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east via 42 km of new tunnels under central London, is the largest building project in Europe. How many people died building the Panama Canal?
The Panama Canal’s death toll is more than 30,000, making it the construction project with the highest documented fatality rate in the world. In other words, the Panama Canal is the world’s deadliest construction project. So ITER is another experimental reactor, but even so it is probably the most challenging project being built on the earth today, at least in the opinion of Michel Claessens, head of communication and external relations for the Office of the Director-General at ITER.
The Total Quadran – Grand Paris Solar Farm 25 MW – Ile-de-France project located in Paris, France was announced in Q1 2018 with an estimated completion in Q1 2023, the Montpellier Mediterranean – Odysseum-Montpellier Tramway Line One Expansion – Occitania project located in Montpellier, France was announced in Q1 2021.
The world’s most expensive building ever constructed is the Great Mosque of Mecca located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, with a total construction cost of $100 billion. Due to inflation, this amount has been adjusted to $115.2 billion in 2022 dollars. The most expensive man-made object ever created doesn’t even reside on Earth. It’s in space. The International Space Station ranks in the Guinness World Records as the most expensive thing ever created at $150 billion to develop and build.
NEOM City, known as “The Line”, emerges from Saudi Arabia’s vision and epitomises the fusion of futuristic innovation with sustainability. Leading the way in the world’s largest construction projects list, the creative vision behind this project really is something! Taipei 101 tower named ‘world’s toughest’ building by Popular Mechanics. Popular Mechanics named the 10 structures that best withstand floods, winds, storms, and earthquakes.
The Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan has no problem welcoming possible danger. Dubai’s Museum of the Future is widely considered the most architecturally complex building in the world – and 36,000 metres of Edgetech’s Super Spacer® have played an integral role in taking it from blueprint stage to reality. The Tenn-Tom is the largest earth moving project in history, requiring the excavation of nearly 310 million cubic yards of soil or the equivalent of more than 100-million dump truck loads.
The most expensive man-made object ever created by humans is in space. The International Space Station ranks in the Guinness World Records as the most expensive thing ever created at a whopping cost of $150 billion. According to CNBC, the space station costs NASA $4 billion a year to manage…
