Liverpool Filled an Entire DOCK With SAND — to Build a Football Stadium

UK megaproject: Liverpool filled an entire Victorian dock with sand to build Everton’s new stadium. A Dutch dredger made more than 130 trips from the Irish Sea, bomb disposal teams destroyed 12 live munitions, and 2,776 piles now hold up a 53,000-seat stadium. How do you turn a dock into solid ground, and why did it cost Liverpool its World Heritage status?
