Twin Tower-wolkenkrabber in Kuala Lumpur - Ontworpen door Cesar Pelli, waren de Petronas Towers de hoogste gebouwen op hun voltooiingsdatum. Gelegen in Kuala Lumpur, de 88 verdiepingen, 450 meter hoge tweelingtorens dragen een islamitische geometrische invloed, en zijn een symbool van Maleisische trots. Om de concurrentie te bevorderen, werd het contract voor de bouw van de torens gegund aan twee verschillende bouwbedrijven, die elk aan een van de torens moesten werken. Deze aflevering onderzoekt de race tussen de bedrijven om elk als eerste hun toren te voltooien, evenals verschillende bouwuitdagingen, waaronder problemen met de bodemkwaliteit, het unieke cementmengsel dat nodig was als staalvervanger en tropisch weer. |
