The Largest Construction Projects In The World

The man, it seems, in a constant battle to overcome the scale, cost, and the audacity of his effort. Everything turned skyward a skyscraper or bridge crossing a river radical, someone, somewhere, is trying to do something better.
For all those who a few years in their construction management degree online, the list consists of three sites in the world of construction. These are the ones that put the focus on which are the largest construction projects in the world ...
Three. Burj Dubai - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
In recent years, Dubai has been, without a doubt, the largest construction site in the world. (Things may have slipped a bit late, but still ...) And in this vast - and very expensive - construction, a building has stood out above all others: the Burj Dubai.
He said, literally, too. On a more than 800 meters high, the Burj Dubai (now known as the Burj Khalifa in honor of the President of the United Arab Emirates) is the highest in the world and took about six years and 1.5 billion dollars to build. The scale of the thing is pretty amazing: more than 4000 tons of structural steel were used to maintain this brilliant structure of 142,000 square meters of glass standing. And the overall effect? Just great.
Two. Three Gorges Dam - Sandouping, Yichang, China
If anyone could match in Dubai for the boldness of vision of some of its construction, is China. But despite all the tall buildings were shooting in the country, no real competitor for the title of his most impressive project construction. At over 2300 meters in length, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest power generation plant in the world, which cost about $ 30 billion, which is also the world's most expensive.
Needless to say that something is needed to contain a lot of water will be formed by more than its fair share of building materials - to be precise: 27.2 million cubic meters of concrete and 460,000 tons of steel. That otherwise it is 63 Eiffel Towers "just ...
1. International Space Station (ISS)
There is an argument that the International Space Station is the feat of aviation and space exploration rather than strictly construction. (In all cases, it might be one for students in computer programming degrees, instead of degrees construction management ...)
Furthermore, in terms of size, the International Space Station is not just a patch on the Three Gorges Dam. But there is a little difference - and that makes the top dog in this list: being in space. Tipping the scales at over a million pounds of weight, and extends over 356 meters wide and 290 feet long, for the ISS in Earth's atmosphere so that tops this list Company unbridled human technology, if not the greatest, then certainly the most extravagant project construction in the world.
