Episode Description
Building anything in Alaska comes with challenges. Mountains, glaciers, rivers, permafrost, earthquakes, brutal winters, and enormous distances have forced engineers to find solutions that simply aren’t necessary in most other places.
Yet Alaska is home to highways carved through wilderness, railroads crossing mountain ranges, massive dams, tunnels, bridges, and an 800-mile pipeline stretching from the Arctic to Prince William Sound.
So join us today as we dig into some amazing projects and count down our picks for the Top 10 Greatest Engineering Feats in Alaska. What did it take to build these projects? Which one presented the greatest engineering challenge? And which deserves the title of Alaska’s greatest engineering feat?! It’s the episode that's engineered for success!
