How Japan Built a $12B Tsunami Wall (The Full Engineering Process)

How did Japan build a $12 billion "Great Wall" against the ocean? Following the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Japan launched one of the most ambitious engineering projects in history: a 400km network of massive sea walls. In this video, we go behind the scenes of the full manufacturing and construction process. From sinking 60,000-ton concrete boxes to installing 443 automated floodgates that think for themselves, discover the high-stakes technology and precision engineering required to defend a nation from the sea. *In this video, you’ll learn:* The engineering failure of traditional sea walls in 2011. How the village of Fudai became the blueprint for the mega wall. The precision manufacturing of 7-ton pre-cast concrete panels. How automated seismic sensors trigger 50-ton steel gates in seconds. The "silent gamble" of living behind a 14-meter concrete shield.
