[00:00:00]Engineers built a 9 km ocean shield by dropping massive concrete towers straight into the sea. [music] Known as the Oosterscheldekering, it defends the Netherlands against catastrophic ocean storms.

[00:00:13]But the seabed was pure mud and shifting sand. An engineering disaster [music] waiting to happen.

[00:00:20]So they engineered a specialized ship to vibrate and compact the sand until it was solid as [music] rock.

[00:00:25]Next, they prefabricated 65 giant concrete pillars inside a massive dry dock on land.

[00:00:31]Each pillar stood 45 m tall and weighed up to 18,000 [music] tons.

[00:00:36]A legendary heavy lift ship lowered these massive titans onto the seabed with absolute precision.

[00:00:42]Is this the ultimate victory of human [music] engineering over the ocean?
