To get several of the towers up the mountain, the guys bring in a special helicopter to crane the materials into place. It's an incredibly delicate operation.

Interstate Bridge

0%
June 24, 20101h

In Utah, Riley joins a crew of more than 300 engineers, contractors and laborers as they gamble on an innovative installation technique: demolishing a crumbling concrete bridge and installing a new throughway bridge in just four days (WTF!). This fix involves huge remote-controlled trailers, enormous hydraulics, and a 4 million-pound, five-lane bridge that must be transported almost two miles before it is installed in one piece on Interstate 80 in Salt Lake City.

Alaskan Salvage

0%
September 30, 20101h

A fishing boat that ran aground in the treacherous Bering Sea is potentially a rusty death trap for the thousands of seals soon to arrive for mating. Sean Riley joins a crack crew of salvage operators who have only a few weeks to strip down and slice the boat into bite-sized bits. The rusty steel has to be removed by a jury-rigged cable stretched from a crane, because vehicles are forbidden on the ecologically sensitive beach.

Season Finale
October 21, 20101h

Building the Wildebeest - the world's longest water roller-coaster - is like assembling an enormous, jigsaw puzzle. The Wildebeest is fitted with special magnetic motors that enable the giant coaster carts to literally float on air. After assembling hundreds of meters of this water ride, moving the giant platforms and towers that support it, and securing enormous pieces of piping, it all comes down to a few critical centimeters as the team struggles to move the last massive pipes into place.
