A shoutout to modern civil engineering marvels.

 


The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, a marvel of engineering that consists of a 27-km ring of superconducting magnets with several accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles, such as protons, to cause collisions that produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark. Situated in Geneva, Switzerland, LHC hopes to find new particles that would explain, among other things, dark matter, one of the great enigmas of the Universe.


The world's largest artificial island, Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE, was built from piling up tons of sand and rock in the ocean. Workers dredged up more than 3 billion cubic feet of sand to build Palm Jumeirah, the first of the three islands that make up Palm Island. The archipelago is shaped like a palm with a trunk that stretches two kilometres, a crown made up of sixteen fronds and a surrounding crescent.


Located between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir in north India, the newly constructed Chenab Bridge is the tallest railway arch bridge in the world. Built over the Chenab River at a height of 359 metres, this bridge is arguably the biggest civil engineering challenge faced by any railway project in India's recent history.


A view of Mubarak Pumping Station, the heart of Egypt's ambitious irrigation system to reclaim half a million acres of desert. Considered an outstanding civil engineering achievement, the station pumps water from Lake Nasser through a canal system, transforming thousands of acres of desert into agricultural land. Since its start, it has created about 3 million jobs and attracted over 16 million people to the future towns.



The German carmaker Volkswagen opened the 'Die Gläserne Manufaktur' (the transparent factory) in Dresden to manufacture the luxury car Phaeton. The factory walls are made of 290,000 square feet of glass; thus, the concept of transparent work activity is open to public view in the heart of the city, defying city planners who said manufacturing couldn't exist side by side with urban culture and living.
