Mega Projects: How Engineers Build Bridge Foundations Underwater.

How Bridges Are Built Underwater 🌉 (Concrete That Hardens in Water!).
Underwater Concrete Explained | Tremie, Caissons & Mega Bridges.
Why Cement Hardens in Water 💧 | Bridge Engineering Secrets.

🌉 How do engineers build bridges underwater? And why does cement harden in water?
This video breaks down the fascinating science and engineering behind underwater bridge foundations, including:
🏗 Tremie method — placing concrete underwater without contamination
🛡 Cofferdams & Caissons — keeping sites dry for construction
🧱 Precast Blocks — assembling foundations underwater
⚗ Special Mixes — anti-washout admixtures & high-density concrete
📖 Historic bridges like Brooklyn & Tower Bridge
🌍 Modern marvels like Øresund, Bandra-Worli & Akashi Kaikyō
