Modern Marvels · S13E26 — Super Tools: Skyscraper

Jul 28, 2006 · 44 min

Synopsis

Skyscrapers stand as remarkable achievements in human engineering—massive structures of concrete and steel, relentlessly tested by wind and gravity. From the bedrock foundations to the supporting framework and reinforced floors, every element of these towering buildings must possess exceptional strength. Explore the construction process with a look at five essential tools: the foundation drill rig, the tower crane, the impact wrench, the power trowel, and the total station.
