@ohh geez rick Oh please tell me you joking... Bridges have been used for CENTURIES to move people, horses, carts, troops, good, etc over water. The Arkadiko Bridge in Ancient Greece was built in 13,000 BC and is still standing!! Please do some research before you say something as ignorant as "bridges are only needed because of our use of cars"
I believe the ocean floor is mapped and studied , depth is one factors to determined if a bridge could go over, not all areas of the ocean are very deep.
Same here. I recognize the language, but do not comprehend what was said. I even chuckled when he said “winches”, until I saw that it wasn’t spelled “wenches”... 🤦🏾♀️
I’ve been an iron worker for 10 years and I’ve always wanted to be on a bridge project. They are modern marvels to me. These guys who build these have to be fearless
Get into fiber optics my guy. If you’re not afraid of water , even better. Working on undersea cables pays a shit ton. I am terribly afraid of deep water so the opportunity passed me. But for others, go get it.
@@Bubba1960. Considering I have to at least learn it for four and a half year, and still have to learn a lot, lot more to actually build one that size... Yes, it's f-ing complicated and frustrating.
I am the same way, only time I think about the bridge I cross everyday is when a road crew or w/e has traffic stopped on bridge and I feel it bouncing then I am like you assholes need to get this shit moving
I worked on bridges/overpasses/concrete structures and really liked it.Worked on the road all the time,never made it back to where I lived till season was over.It's not a job for someone with a family,it's for the single guy and this one had fun.Never bothered buying a house untill I was 37,would have never been in it much...but I have one now.Resigential construction now,renovating houses,really like this as well...yee haw !
I pray whoever reads this should become successful. keep l for success. the rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing why the poor stay poor and be spending like the rich yet not investing. Roar! Invest earn and be successful.
Glad I ain't the only one. Whenever I've looked at Bridges I've marvelled and wondered at the same time as to how tf they built it cos it just looked impossible but yet evidently possible
The best thing is how everything is lined up so perfectly over long distances. Everything is perfect by the numbers. That’s what’s so amazing about engineering. Numbers boggles the brain lol
I'm more impressed by bridges that were made over a century ago. They did not have the technology we have now and still managed to build these iconic bridges.

Very instructive video. I have always wondered how concrete is poured into river beds without trying to find an answer. Many thanks for removing my ignorance to some extent!😊
I searched for like30 mins trying to find a good one and this is what I am looking for! We just went to San Clemente pier on T-Street. And there is a long pier so we wanted to see how piers are built! Thank you.
hats off to those people constructing bridges all over the world. Salute to Engineers and non engineers. We need this people for the safety of our bridges.
Like underwater but without the water. The area they have has air but coming to fast messes their bodies up. Kinda like scuba diving deep and coming up too fast. Some jobs that result in air chambers have to stay down their longer so their bodies can return to normal. Too fast of a resurface results in a um, messy death.
I always wondered if those bridges were held by a floating mechanism or some ships holding the weight. Thanks for making me know what is the real reason.
I used to be worried about bridges collapsing while I was committing suicide but now I can jump at ease every time! Couldn't have done it without you all -- and can't wait to do it again!
Was fortunate to work on the the new Oakland-Bay Bridge 2004-07. Honored and proud to be apart of history. 1 of 2 bridges I had the privilege to work on.
I used to think about this since childhood and had a visual in my mind about how it would have been done. finally this video tell us how bridges are built in water
Where would we be without engineers and scientists. It's difficult to appreciate the sheer skill and technology that goes into building these structures. Why don't we have people like these directing the future of the world instead of corrupt politicians and greedy money-men.
thats amazing i never imagined how they construct these complex structures beneath water... i salute..i learnt that there is nothing hard hard is the head we just need knowledge.
It depends on how deep the particular area is. I think there are depths that can be reached, and others that can't be. I've heard of depths that are twice as high as volcanic mountains. I doubt a bridge will be constructed in such an area. However, I'm sure somebody could figure out how to do even that.
It's just a lot of engineering and innovation going into building this. You don't get ir because you'd never fathom something this detailed yet amazing on your own
“we dont think of them much, even when we’re passing over them” am i the only one that questions the structural integrity of the bridge as i pass over it
I just come back from fishing on the bridge battered piles, the time i was fishing and this question appear how did they made this must be difficult because i can tell the water around 20 feet deep when the tide water down and i can see pillar under the platform that we fishing from and now i know bridge engineering is marvel and appreciate bridge everytime i near it
THE RICH STAY RICH BY SPENDING LIKE THE POOR AND INVESTING WITHOUT STOPPING THEN THE POOR STAY POOR BY SPENDING LIKE THE RICH YET NOT INVESTING LIKE THE RICH.
So they pile in soil/rock to creat temporary islands with shallow builds. But for super deeper water locations, they just get giant poles, ram them in till they get near the surface? Then start pouring concrete on top? Or pour it straight into the water on the poles? Then use floating vessels to help haul machines and other bridge sections into place like lego?

Hay que ver bien el vídeo
I didn’t get anything
that was ht whole purpose of this video... to get little boys interested into enslaving themselves for satan
I also did not get full understanding.
A bit of graphic of what actually happens underneath the water will do wonders also making it easy to understand. It’s such a fascinating topic.
Great video. Now I’m wondering how bridges were made before all of the machinery
Fishes helped them out
Ancient aliens i guesa 🤣

Not Ocean, sea sea sea. Oceans are very very very deep.

No need to call people names.
Besides, they have offshore drilling structures that are built in the ocean.

At 4:00, why do workers get the bends when they're working at water level?

Some jobs that result in air chambers have to stay down their longer so their bodies can return to normal. Too fast of a resurface results in a um, messy death.

Pontoon bridges are bridges where the weight is held up by several boats tied underneath the bridge
Hand down and hats off to all those engineers and architectures !
Just wow …. Amazing
despite not really engineering there is just something that fascinates me to know about it and understand how certain things were made
Amazing how the Roebling Bridges and Colonel Eades bridge are still functional after 130-150 years later. Absolutely amazing to me.
This is where I take my hat off to these engineers and the people that built it. This is how we should advance in humanity
Drink every time he says pile
As Simon & Garfunkel would say, “Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.”

also the easiest
Thanks for the all Team .
My problem about subtitles is i can't focus anymore on the picture coz im busy reading the subtitles
Same here.
This is the true beauty of engineering .
Thanks for helping me I had to research this at school!
I’ve always wonder how bridges were built on top of water great video.
I wonder what's the maximum water depth can these technologies be feasibly used?
69 feet.
Very useful info about bridge construction. Thanks. Expecting more.
am telling you i have more questions than before i watched this video, also that was cool
Still confused. What if the soil below the water is like a mile down. How do u drive a pile there
