Bailong Elevator, Zhangjiajie, China
The Bailong Elevator is the world’s largest exterior elevator. At over 1070 ft tall, this elevator looms high midway up a cliff overlooking a valley far below. Moreover, the elevator is mostly glass, affording passengers a dizzying view to the depths below.
There is some concern, however, about the elevator’s long-term impact on the surrounding natural environment.
Millau Viaduct, Millau, France
The Millau Viaduct is the tallest bridge in the world. At 1225 ft high (taller than the even the Eiffel Tower) and over 8,000 feet long it sometimes sits above the cloud line, as shown in the beautiful photographs above. The engineered wonder of the cable stayed bridge itself is nearly as amazing as the view of the valley below.
Langeled Pipeline, Norway to United Kingdom
The Langeled Pipeline is slated to be the longest subsea pipeline in the world. It will ultimately supply 20% of United Kingdom’s gas needs, connecting United Kingdom to the largest gas field in Europe via 725 miles of complex underwater terrain. Engineers have had to account for subzero temperatures a stormy waters in addition to developing techniques for installing the pipeline in the first place. They are able to lay an amazing 8 miles of pipe per day.
