have you ever wondered how China can
0:01
build a skyscraper in just days or how
0:04
they manage to construct a bridge in
0:06
mere hours it's all thanks to their
0:08
massive monster machines that are
0:10
driving China's engineering dominance
0:12
and leaving other nations in the dust
0:15
from a 580 ton Bridge buing Beast to an
0:18
excavator that can move 12,000 cubic M
0:21
of material in seconds these machines
0:23
are transforming construction as we know
0:26
it but here's the real Kicker make sure
0:29
to watch until the end because I'm going
0:31
to reveal the incredible walking bucket
0:33
wheel excavator that's literally
0:35
reshaping the future of engineering
0:37
let's dive in and explore how China is
0:39
not just ahead but Leaps and Bounds
0:41
beyond the US and many other countries
0:44
when it comes to engineering Machinery
0:46
stay tuned welcome back to I am civil
0:49
engineer from constructing Bridges at
0:52
lightning speed to reshaping Coast lines
0:54
with Island Building Giants China's
0:56
technological Marvels are rewriting the
0:58
rules of construction these engineering
1:01
Feats are not just about efficiency they
1:03
represent a bold vision for the future
1:06
infrastructure take the SJ
1:09
90032 for instance a 580 ton bridge
1:12
building machine that lays new segments
1:15
every 24 minutes revolutionizing the way
1:17
we think about connectivity meanwhile
1:20
the tanun the largest dredging vessel in
1:23
Asia is reshaping coastlines and
1:25
creating new land where there was once
1:27
only ocean with these machines at the
1:29
Forefront China is not only expanding
1:32
its Urban Landscapes but also enhancing
1:34
trade routes and bolstering its economy
1:37
let's start with the iron monster the
1:41
90032 nicknamed The Iron monster the slj
1:45
90032 is a 580 ton bridge building
1:49
machine that can lay a new segment every
1:51
24 minutes with its unique design and 64
1:54
Wheels each capable of rotating 90° it
1:58
has revolutionized Bridge construction
2:00
allowing China to construct Bridges at a
2:02
speed unimaginable by traditional
2:04
methods this machine is vital to China's
2:07
belt and Road initiative connecting
2:09
different parts of the country and
2:10
Beyond at a record-breaking Pace the
2:13
next on our list is walking bucket wheel
2:16
excavator used in open pit mining the
2:19
wk12 walking bucket wheel excavator is a
2:22
huge machine standing 31 m tall capable
2:25
of Excavating 12,000 cubic M of material
2:28
per hour it operates continuously
2:31
boosting China's coal industry
2:33
efficiency these machines symbolize
2:35
China's ambition and technological
2:37
prowess allowing it to build
2:39
infrastructure faster and more
2:41
efficiently than ever before however
2:44
this rapid development raises questions
2:46
about environmental impact and long-term
2:49
sustainability while these machines
2:51
represent the future of construction
2:53
technology the balance between progress
2:56
and environmental preservation is a
2:57
delicate one what are your thoughts
2:59
thoughts on China's engineering
3:01
advancements are these Mega machines an
3:04
exciting glimpse into the future or do
3:06
they pose more risks than benefits let's
3:08
now talk a bit about tanun
3:11
how the island maker one of the most
3:14
impressive machines is the tanun how the
3:17
largest dredging vessel in Asia this
3:19
massive ship is responsible for
3:21
reshaping coastlines by dredging up to
3:24
6,000 cubic M of material per hour from
3:27
the sea floor it plays a critical role
3:29
in China's Island Building efforts in
3:31
the South China Sea expanding ports and
3:34
creating industrial zones along the
3:36
coast while this is a Marvel of
3:39
engineering it has also sparked
3:40
environmental concerns due to its
3:43
massive ecological impact the next is
3:45
tunnel boring machines TBM China's
3:48
tunneling Ambitions have also been
3:50
bolstered by tunnel boring machines tbms
3:54
cchi with a diameter of 15 M this giant
3:58
machine digs through mountains and lays
4:01
simultaneously tbms are essential for
4:03
China's High-Speed Rail lines and
4:05
underground transport networks
4:07
especially in mountainous regions
4:10
notably China is working on a mega TBM
4:13
for the Sichuan Tibet Railway designed
4:15
to bore through the harsh conditions of
4:17
the Himalayas now we've got on our list
4:20
cyp 500 Railway track laying machine the
4:24
cyp 500 plays a key role in expanding
4:28
China's High-Speed Rail networ Network
4:30
capable of laying 2 km of track per day
4:33
this machine has significantly
4:35
accelerated construction allowing China
4:37
to connect vast cities efficiently and
4:40
maintain the world's largest high-speed
4:42
rail system traditional methods would
4:45
take much longer to complete similar
4:46
tasks but the cyp 500 enables faster
4:50
progress with fewer workers and reduced
4:52
risks its ability to streamline Railway
4:55
construction supports China's ambition
4:57
to improve transportation boost trade
5:00
and enhance daily travel for millions of
5:02
people across the country the skyscraper
5:05
Builder yes it's the next on our list
5:08
standing over 40 m high and weighing
5:10
nearly 2,000 tons the berand is a
5:13
game-changing machine in high-rise
5:15
construction with eight patents and
5:17
Advanced Technologies it leads China's
5:19
push for vertical expansion enabling
5:22
faster and more efficient skyscraper
5:24
building this machine not only improves
5:26
construction speed but also enhances
5:28
safety by reducing worker risks making
5:31
it essential for the rapid development
5:35
landscape don't forget about the wk12
5:38
bucket wheel excavator meet the wk12 The
5:42
Walking bucket wheel excavator a game
5:44
changer in China's coal industry
5:47
standing 31 m 101 ft tall 210 M 688 ft
5:53
long and weighing 6,000 tons this
5:56
colossal machine is equipped with a
5:58
walking mechanism that allow allows it
5:59
to move across mining SES its standout
6:02
feature is a massive bucket wheel 22 M
6:06
72 ft in diameter with 12 buckets
6:09
capable of Excavating up to 12,000 cubic
6:12
M of material per hour enough to fill
6:15
five olympic sized swimming pools what
6:18
sets the wk12 apart is its continuous
6:21
operation unlike traditional excavators
6:24
that pause to dump loads it uses a
6:26
conveyor belt system to transport
6:28
excavated Mater material without
6:30
stopping developed by the taian heavy
6:33
Industry Group and deployed in 2019 at
6:36
the heido open pit Coal Mine in inner
6:38
Mongolia the wk12 has significantly
6:42
boosted mining efficiency and reduced
6:44
labor costs these machines are not just
6:47
massive they're solving real engineering
6:49
challenges and redefining possibilities
6:51
in construction but how these all
6:54
massive machines with China compare with
6:56
that of us as we wrap up our journey
6:58
through the incredible world of China's
7:00
massive construction machines it's clear
7:03
that Innovation and Engineering prowess
7:05
are reshaping the skyline of cities
7:07
Across the Nation from The Towering
7:09
Bonet skyscraper Builder to the Colossal
7:12
wk12 bucket wheel excavator these
7:15
machines are not just symbols of size
7:18
they represent the future of efficient
7:20
and safe construction while the US has
7:22
its share of impressive technology
7:25
China's rapid advancements and
7:26
commitment to Vertical expansion are
7:28
truly remarkable able these machines are
7:31
transforming the way we think about
7:32
construction and pushing the boundaries
7:34
of what's possible in the industry we'd
7:37
love to hear your thoughts which of
7:39
these incredible machines do you think
7:40
will shape the future of construction
