Switzerland’s Urgent Battle To Replace A CRACKED Mega Dam

Описание: Switzerland’s Urgent Battle To Replace A CRACKED Mega Dam - Spitallamm Dam
Nestled high in the rugged Swiss Alps lies a mega dam that has stood for nearly a century, silently holding back millions of cubic meters of water and powering the lives of countless people. But over time, the relentless forces of weather and the passage of decades have begun to test its limits, creating a pressing need for renewal. Today, a daring replacement project is underway, and it is one of the world’s most challenging and epic construction sites. This ambitious undertaking seeks not just to restore functionality, but to surpass it, blending cutting-edge technology with sustainable energy goals. Yet the project is fraught with challenges: a high-altitude environment, extreme weather, and the delicate balance of preserving the region's ecological integrity.
