1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,649
forty years ago

2
00:00:03,649 --> 00:00:06,380
most I've this was desert

3
00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:09,950
now there's a glittering metropolis the
fastest-growing

4
00:00:09,950 --> 00:00:12,430
desert city on the planet

5
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:14,170
Dubai

6
00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:16,570
when I first came here love this existed

7
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:20,650
it was one he you lose big that

8
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:25,590
building the city like this in one of
the hottest inhospitable places on earth

9
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:29,250
seems impossible

10
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:34,110
so how did engineers do it

11
00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:37,960
to find out we will strip the city to
reveal

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720
its secret inner workings

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,460
the

14
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:47,339
and expose the ingenious technology that
allowed

15
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:54,339
engineers to build this jewel in the
desert

16
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:06,630
ATM in Dubai temperatures will soon
reach

17
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:10,860
over 100 degrees Fahrenheit

18
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:17,860
but Dubai's two million citizens don't
have to worry about the scorching heat

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,70
or know much about the technology that
keeps them alive

20
00:01:24,70 --> 00:01:29,80
this city's most visible techno marble
is the boers Khalifa

21
00:01:29,80 --> 00:01:33,800
half a mile high almost twice as tall as
the Empire State Building

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,158
it's the tallest skyscraper in the world

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:42,470
the

24
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:46,658
chairing when he gets class Kim reveals
a high above activity

25
00:01:46,659 --> 00:01:49,740
up to 35,000 people

26
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:53,520
can live and work in this gigantic
greenhouse

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,39
the what stops them for being roasted
alive

28
00:01:58,39 --> 00:02:01,560
the short answer water

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:08,60
200,000 gallons a day for this building
a little

30
00:02:08,60 --> 00:02:11,540
finding this much water in one of the
driest places on earth

31
00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:15,209
was a huge challenge when the building
boom began

32
00:02:15,209 --> 00:02:22,209
forty years ago

33
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:25,890
there are no rivers in the city and
hardly any

34
00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:29,589
ring yet Dubai is awash with water

35
00:02:29,590 --> 00:02:33,459
tell is this possible

36
00:02:33,459 --> 00:02:34,550
everything

37
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:39,450
and the answer lies 50 miles to the east

38
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:43,549
in the Hajar mountains geologist
Catherine good enough

39
00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:47,290
knows this area like the back of her
head

40
00:02:47,290 --> 00:02:51,880
she's part of the team that's producing
an extremely detailed geological map

41
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,540
at the united arab emirate covered
pretty much the whole in the UAE

42
00:02:56,540 --> 00:03:00,40
than something like 30,000 observation
points

43
00:03:00,40 --> 00:03:03,329
we have to drive every check we have to
change I vapor

44
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:07,770
they said edit had to kind mental images
important ladies

45
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:11,740
basically had to cover the whole country
on her mapping mission

46
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:16,360
Catherine discovered signs that the
enrich word always is dry his today

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,920
the hearing this deep mountain valley
this woody

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,989
with the evidence water everywhere the
vinik the body itself is is v-shaped

49
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:30,20
that pretty much tells you that be that
he's been carved out by flowing water

50
00:03:30,20 --> 00:03:33,480
and then we can see it all works around
here have been smoothed of

51
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,649
disclaimed of animated by the action
water time

52
00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:45,650
two million years ago Dubai was a really
wet place

53
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:50,359
where the skyscraper stand today mighty
rivers flowed through lush

54
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,670
for child let play

55
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:59,910
but over time temperatures rose and the
rivers ran dry

56
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:03,600
as the desert swallowed the area the
water seeped away

57
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,100
but it didn't all vanish some the vid

58
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,109
moved underground

59
00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:13,110
and today it's still flowing through the
rocks

60
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:19,709
deep under this city

61
00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:23,199
when waters fended what he's a course is
playing really quickly

62
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,590
but when tickets and a grounder it
starts flowing around between San grains

63
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:28,698
and pebbles and so on

64
00:04:28,699 --> 00:04:31,710
moves much more slowly and oh so course

65
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:35,20
cafe if these mixes know on the surface
say

66
00:04:35,20 --> 00:04:39,80
that water can stay there in the ground
for thousands years

67
00:04:39,80 --> 00:04:44,139
and that provided the original source of
water for tea by time

68
00:04:44,139 --> 00:04:48,110
the agent water kick-started Dubai's
explosive growth

69
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:51,210
but it's no longer enough to quench the
thirst

70
00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:56,580
this expanding metropolis the

71
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:00,169
rural today the city relies

72
00:05:00,170 --> 00:05:03,660
on huge desalination plant the turned
seawater

73
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:07,569
into fresh water

74
00:05:07,569 --> 00:05:11,39
with but pumping the water around the
city

75
00:05:11,39 --> 00:05:15,509
any disguise creepers but the boers
Khalifa is a formidable challenge

76
00:05:15,509 --> 00:05:22,169
the

77
00:05:22,169 --> 00:05:26,530
engineer John sweat has overseen the
installation of water networks

78
00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:31,359
into many at the city's towers if we're
on the

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,880
were able to just look at the water
distribution infrastructure

80
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,949
one would see hey

81
00:05:37,949 --> 00:05:41,30
marietta almost like spaghetti bowl

82
00:05:41,30 --> 00:05:44,630
all pipes water is distributed

83
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:47,639
to every corner at every floor at every
level

84
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,510
I'm

85
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:57,900
using a single giant plume to pipe water
right to the top of the building

86
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:04,120
as tall as the boers Khalifa would be
dangerous you

87
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,919
forcing water this high up takes extreme
pressure

88
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:11,659
which could make the pipes explode

89
00:06:11,660 --> 00:06:14,430
you

90
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:18,190
so engineers pumped the water up in
stages first

91
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:23,90
to a huge reservoir on the 40th floor

92
00:06:23,90 --> 00:06:26,590
then to a series have two hundred
thousand gallon tanks

93
00:06:26,590 --> 00:06:31,179
until it reaches the top of the building

94
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:38,180
then the water simply flows back down
under its own weight

95
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:47,250
almost a quarter million gallons of
water a day passed through the building

96
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:54,250
enough to keep its inhabitants happen

97
00:06:55,90 --> 00:07:01,859
engineers use this clever technology all
over the city

98
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:05,420
today John's team is finishing up the
water network

99
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:08,430
in the princess tower the world's
tallest

100
00:07:08,430 --> 00:07:11,810
residential building they must push
water

101
00:07:11,810 --> 00:07:18,129
up 100 floors more than a quarter of a
mile

102
00:07:18,129 --> 00:07:21,780
what we're looking at here is the water
tank on the seventy ninth floor

103
00:07:21,780 --> 00:07:26,770
a when it reaches the 79 florida has
already been stepped up three times

104
00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:29,840
in terms of capacity what you're seeing
here

105
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,349
history in 2003 the water

106
00:07:36,349 --> 00:07:40,319
it one bit strip away all the layers
that high the water infrastructure

107
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:44,680
will become evident the just how far the
water engineering in

108
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:51,160
in a large like the boy is Dubai has
more than 200 skyscrapers

109
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,529
and they're incredibly thirsty the

110
00:07:55,529 --> 00:07:57,719
the

111
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,90
their glass skins conceal thousands of
miles of pipes

112
00:08:03,90 --> 00:08:06,39
sucking millions of gallons of water a
minute

113
00:08:06,40 --> 00:08:09,110
from pipes buried deep under the sand

114
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:14,160
shielded from the scorching heat the
steel

115
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,120
arteries supplying each citizen with 145
gallons of water a day

116
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,169
water

117
00:08:22,169 --> 00:08:27,130
is at the heart at everything in Dubai
and the city's engineers have mastered

118
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:27,409
it

119
00:08:27,410 --> 00:08:30,540
another massive challenge

120
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:34,940
is keeping Dubai soaring skyscrapers
standing tall

121
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:40,860
on the soft desert sand

122
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:47,860
I'm like

123
00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:55,50
when and this is the most impressive
Street in the Middle East

124
00:08:55,50 --> 00:08:59,859
Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai

125
00:08:59,860 --> 00:09:03,760
it's crammed with over 50 skyscrapers
more per block

126
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,780
then in Manhattan

127
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:14,780
each tower ways up to a quarter of a
million tons

128
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,70
but all around and below them hidden
under the streets and sidewalks

129
00:09:21,70 --> 00:09:28,70
is soft desert said

130
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:35,840
the big challenge for Dubai's engineers
is to stop these towers

131
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,639
from toppling over

132
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:43,160
this is the man who knows how it's done

133
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,980
engineer Nasser Nasser his latest
colossus

134
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:51,319
is more than 600 feet tall the BER side
Boulevard tower

135
00:09:51,319 --> 00:09:54,399
now is this the latest the growing that
we have

136
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:58,279
when I first came here love this existed

137
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:04,40
it was one you lose big doesn't the only
way to move around he was only in four

138
00:10:04,40 --> 00:10:09,449
wheel drive now look at that you have
one of the most sophisticated and

139
00:10:09,449 --> 00:10:09,939
the

140
00:10:09,939 --> 00:10:11,660
luxurious stanza

141
00:10:11,660 --> 00:10:16,329
all over the world the BER side
Boulevard is a steal

142
00:10:16,330 --> 00:10:20,220
in concrete goliath this building we
ease

143
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:25,640
a bob a hundred Thousand Palms that's a
pretty heavy load units of solid

144
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,550
foundations

145
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:31,660
to take this load and distributed

146
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:34,699
and solid foundations meets all the rock

147
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:40,230
to rest on then he needs

148
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:43,690
cool east to the city in the Hajar
mountains

149
00:10:43,690 --> 00:10:47,300
geologist Catherine good enough reveals
the origins

150
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:52,140
Dubai's bedrock these mountains are very
very important could be by

151
00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:56,920
the kids it's from these man 10th that
the foundation to buy kane

152
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,89
the smoke that they can hear the special
form to them

153
00:11:00,90 --> 00:11:03,720
$95 million years ago I say their part
the Asian floral

154
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,20
but then can huge tectonic forces and

155
00:11:07,20 --> 00:11:11,439
compressional forces screen that the
flow and push these hopes up front near

156
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,300
to the continent

157
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:17,150
where they are now on

158
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:21,389
could go

159
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:25,290
30 million years ago a crash the to
continental plates

160
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:32,290
thrust the Hajar mountains two miles
upwards

161
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,790
the over millions of years

162
00:11:39,790 --> 00:11:44,269
water raining down on their peaks ripped
rocks away from the mountains

163
00:11:44,269 --> 00:11:49,600
and wash them all the way to Dubai

164
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,890
on

165
00:11:50,890 --> 00:11:54,199
here the border declare %uh rubble

166
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,970
but

167
00:11:55,970 --> 00:11:59,29
no it still visible today

168
00:11:59,29 --> 00:12:02,930
were a road cuts through the hills why
can't the head

169
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:07,339
basically pined rebelled and it made a
have rounded looks like this one

170
00:12:07,339 --> 00:12:11,899
in the case this say around this I know
that these lumps book brought here by

171
00:12:11,899 --> 00:12:15,720
river is what happened then was that
fluids flow through that gravel

172
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,209
and started to deposit carbonate
minerals and as these

173
00:12:19,209 --> 00:12:22,430
ok whitish metal is here and

174
00:12:22,430 --> 00:12:27,138
based companies want to cement

175
00:12:27,139 --> 00:12:30,159
the carbonate cemented the rubble from
the mountains

176
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:32,830
into bedrock

177
00:12:32,830 --> 00:12:36,269
today this is buried up to 130 feet

178
00:12:36,269 --> 00:12:38,240
under the same

179
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,690
that's why do by is one of the toughest
places in the world

180
00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:46,70
to build skyscrapers am and normal
countries

181
00:12:46,70 --> 00:12:50,630
you have the bedrock at the very shallow
the them so then you go into it

182
00:12:50,630 --> 00:12:53,630
few meters and that would be in that the
length that you require to hold the

183
00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:57,9
higher I'm

184
00:12:57,9 --> 00:13:00,709
and this is actually what we are dealing
with the heat with his life we have to

185
00:13:00,709 --> 00:13:01,449
worry about

186
00:13:01,449 --> 00:13:06,258
the scent which are the little was also
meant to tell me we're talking about

187
00:13:06,259 --> 00:13:10,769
such conditions existing out and about
25 or 30 meters below

188
00:13:10,769 --> 00:13:14,240
drop the to reach the bedrock

189
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:21,240
Nasser's team must drilled through 115
Peter said

190
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:29,390
the fill the holes with a thick clay
slurry to stop them from keeping it

191
00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:33,40
then the drop in long steel cages and
pop

192
00:13:33,40 --> 00:13:37,930
100 tons of concrete each war this
hardens

193
00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:42,209
into a rigid pillar called a foundation
pile

194
00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:47,630
in Manhattan a building like this needs
just a handful of piles to stand up

195
00:13:47,630 --> 00:13:51,480
in Dubai it needs 250

196
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:58,480
they squashed the ground under the
skyscraper into a rock-solid foundation

197
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:07,400
that's the secret a building told in
Dubai

198
00:14:11,529 --> 00:14:14,839
if you actually can visualize it than
just look deep into the ground now

199
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:17,980
would be actually looking at the
concrete jungle

200
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:21,100
with huge poles ok want me to the side

201
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,529
we have about 250 of them on the stoller

202
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:28,680
and they search down the above 36 to 40
meters

203
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,000
the

204
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,770
a building like the boers side Boulevard
meet over 75,000 tons of concrete

205
00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:40,90
casting it in the desert heat is nearly
impossible

206
00:14:40,90 --> 00:14:43,90
imagine the summer the temperature apply

207
00:14:43,90 --> 00:14:47,950
for this around fifty degrees Celsius
not that is

208
00:14:47,950 --> 00:14:52,680
a low heat if you start the money for
example on your head the

209
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,349
high temperatures at 12:01 poor clock
then you pump it was simply be sporty

210
00:14:57,350 --> 00:15:02,230
gonna do you gonna have such big cracks
again at this price

211
00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:05,790
cracks can cause buildings to crumble so
Nasser's team

212
00:15:05,790 --> 00:15:12,790
always works through the night to keep
Dubai skyline growing

213
00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:16,760
boo

214
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,420
there's more concrete per book under
Sheikh Zayed Road

215
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:24,630
that almost any other street in the
world

216
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:27,550
but without these piles Dubai as we know
it

217
00:15:27,550 --> 00:15:34,550
would not exist

218
00:15:42,19 --> 00:15:46,89
the CDC engineers have cracked the
challenge the anchoring skyscrapers

219
00:15:46,89 --> 00:15:48,170
in the same

220
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:52,99
time

221
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:55,259
but they must also protect them from the
ferocious

222
00:15:55,259 --> 00:16:02,259
desert wind

223
00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:05,720
I'll

224
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,640
love

225
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,270
the Dubai's extravagant

226
00:16:16,270 --> 00:16:19,860
is a magnet for the rich and famous and
this is the place

227
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:23,710
with the wealthiest them come to stay

228
00:16:23,710 --> 00:16:28,360
the birch out there would have the
tallest and most expensive hotels in the

229
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,470
world

230
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:33,910
a week in this seven star Palace could
set you back

231
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:37,149
one hundred thousand dollars

232
00:16:37,149 --> 00:16:39,899
VIP's arrive 700 feet up

233
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:43,209
on the helipad on lending here

234
00:16:43,209 --> 00:16:46,140
isn't always a breeze

235
00:16:46,140 --> 00:16:49,750
today wind speed peaks at forty-five
miles an hour

236
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:53,330
a challenge even for former Canadian
Forces pilot

237
00:16:53,330 --> 00:16:58,90
dawn Douglas where have a while back 3
indicate about p.m. Dec

238
00:16:58,90 --> 00:17:03,899
publishing of final for me went to camp

239
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:05,280
more

240
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,790
blown up to play

241
00:17:07,790 --> 00:17:12,760
space for look it up turban

242
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,129
those with coming on what from yellow I
think about how

243
00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:21,400
birch although all the problem but a
purple

244
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,949
talk Tahoe home Hong Kong all

245
00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:31,949
you want

246
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:40,750
ok enjoyed it gold

247
00:17:40,750 --> 00:17:45,680
mall but the backhaul cool

248
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,820
today was hearing but it can get worse

249
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:56,610
the wind in Dubai can hit eighty miles
an hour

250
00:17:56,610 --> 00:18:00,850
protecting buildings from the storms is
another challenge for the city's

251
00:18:00,850 --> 00:18:06,770
engineers

252
00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:10,60
and this is the place with a come to
test their designs

253
00:18:10,60 --> 00:18:13,780
Tom Bell right runs in outdoor
laboratory

254
00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:17,740
that can simulate a desert storm have
you got this being set up correctly but

255
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:22,230
these guys are here

256
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:26,880
toms job is to test the cladding that
makes up this skindive skyscrapers

257
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,940
Eddie uses an old aircraft engine as a
giant wind machine

258
00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:35,740
this test today well tester for
everything that Mother Nature can throw

259
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:36,690
at the building

260
00:18:36,690 --> 00:18:38,440
if the system is gonna fail

261
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:45,440
we're gonna find out where fails power
fails

262
00:18:49,730 --> 00:18:53,250
at the brave enough to build be be able
to get a read about on

263
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:57,580
45 kilometers around the crew add water
into the mix

264
00:18:57,580 --> 00:19:01,610
so even tiny cracks in the pedals show
up

265
00:19:01,610 --> 00:19:05,110
if the inspectors spot just a trace of
water inside

266
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:12,110
the design will fail

267
00:19:13,929 --> 00:19:14,380
so

268
00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:19,370
via how to go guys all good I'm told

269
00:19:19,370 --> 00:19:22,500
down that's there so that that s our way

270
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:26,910
this this dynamic tests as a great test
that the representative in pov the real

271
00:19:26,910 --> 00:19:29,929
whether the weekend it's the kind of
forces the buildings have been built to

272
00:19:29,929 --> 00:19:31,950
resist

273
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:35,580
but it's not enough just to protect the
counterpart to the building

274
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:40,360
old in the Burge L a rub the most
impressive technology

275
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:47,309
lies hidden under its key on

276
00:19:47,309 --> 00:19:50,629
the winds blowing across the Gulf are so
strong

277
00:19:50,629 --> 00:19:55,649
they could bend or even break the
building's concrete core

278
00:19:55,650 --> 00:19:59,800
so engineers wrap the persian thereof in
a strong steel frame

279
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:05,230
bolted to steal spotlight

280
00:20:05,230 --> 00:20:10,20
and exo skeleton

281
00:20:10,20 --> 00:20:13,600
this ingenious invention spreads the
force of the wind

282
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,139
and stabilizes the concrete cork

283
00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:22,370
hidden inside the skeleton our shock
absorbers

284
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:27,399
these moves against the direction of the
wind and reduce the motion even more

285
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,730
so guests can sip their expensive
cocktails

286
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:37,730
without feeling seasick

287
00:20:39,129 --> 00:20:42,730
but when the winds blow from the desert
there's another thread

288
00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:47,179
say and the

289
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:54,179
time powerful sandstorms can appear
totally out of the blue

290
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:58,230
they raced towards Dubai at ferocious
speeds

291
00:20:58,230 --> 00:21:05,230
pelting thousands of tons have said
across the street

292
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:10,150
the most violent sandstorms can shut
down the city for days

293
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:15,710
ok

294
00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:19,110
this one caught on tape reduces
visibility

295
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:22,70
to just a few feet

296
00:21:22,70 --> 00:21:25,710
sandstorms wreak havoc on anything
that's not tied down

297
00:21:25,710 --> 00:21:28,730
the club gutters stop traffic

298
00:21:28,730 --> 00:21:32,890
and ground planes

299
00:21:32,890 --> 00:21:36,820
Dubai is in the firing line because it
sits on the edge of the largest

300
00:21:36,820 --> 00:21:39,30
continuous stretch of sand in the world

301
00:21:39,30 --> 00:21:42,800
do the Rubell Kelly

302
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,379
desert speak

303
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,950
it's not the place you want to be on a
stormy day

304
00:21:49,950 --> 00:21:53,630
creativity discos nothing and

305
00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:57,270
dragging anthony James if any good yes
he may have going

306
00:21:57,270 --> 00:22:01,400
catherine has bencher deep into the
ruble Cali under mapping mission

307
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:07,59
she's become a master in the science
doing driving

308
00:22:07,59 --> 00:22:08,340
doing

309
00:22:08,340 --> 00:22:11,789
they didn't he say this I is it

310
00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:15,390
city in the a very high the game death

311
00:22:15,390 --> 00:22:22,390
the moment again shaving says finances
it's fun here lying MTG now

312
00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:28,220
game reaching age it's just a question
of then the car dragged

313
00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:32,549
playboy in touch in the brakes but you
do that

314
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:36,418
just send them weighing and you can end
up on

315
00:22:36,419 --> 00:22:39,70
and also struggle a cut

316
00:22:39,70 --> 00:22:43,540
reading the contours have these dudes
helps katherine power across them

317
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:47,139
he's gonna have to accept me a bit to
try and get this pit stops and

318
00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:50,550
and it gives her clues about how the
wind

319
00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:55,960
interacts with the sank into a bit like
hazards many

320
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320
is quite a lot of information and pick

321
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,110
thing at this gene I can see that the
year share they say it

322
00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:07,360
is where the the winds coming from them
saying gains at the genocide

323
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,590
and then the blowing of dan's deepside

324
00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:15,590
quite breezy today that makes this and
instead is bowling in surface at the

325
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:21,909
jeans here the as the wind get stronger

326
00:23:21,910 --> 00:23:26,600
it starts to pick up have your grains
have said

327
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,780
when they crashed back down the release
a myriad of dust particles

328
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:32,559
the

329
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:38,990
these billow hi up into the air in dense
clouds up driving said

330
00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:42,870
when they finally hit Dubai they're not
a welcome sight

331
00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:48,149
especially if you're the man in charge
but health and safety

332
00:23:48,150 --> 00:23:53,390
at the Birch out there the sandstone
will build up from from the email and

333
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:57,540
you can basically seems like a big cloud
today that is running at him

334
00:23:57,540 --> 00:24:01,270
the county scamming the whole of Persia
and we're looking at a speed of

335
00:24:01,270 --> 00:24:02,370
approximately

336
00:24:02,370 --> 00:24:07,20
15 to 20 knots we need to eat the
virtually everything is full of dust

337
00:24:07,20 --> 00:24:11,60
everything instead

338
00:24:11,60 --> 00:24:15,240
four times a year armed with jet washers
a daring crew

339
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,260
get ready to launch themselves of the
boers el terrible

340
00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:23,170
to give it a good scrubbing

341
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:27,230
this is a high risk anything goes this
people home pp relying on

342
00:24:27,230 --> 00:24:31,270
their ropes and the harnesses we still
the ring

343
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:33,660
the gusting wind

344
00:24:33,660 --> 00:24:40,179
makes this a tough job

345
00:24:40,179 --> 00:24:44,100
its K anything notes now so it's getting
very close

346
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,289
student borderline we need to stop work

347
00:24:47,289 --> 00:24:51,389
and getting people back from the site it
takes poor teen night

348
00:24:51,389 --> 00:24:55,899
to wash all the sand of the boers out
there and make it gleam again

349
00:24:55,899 --> 00:24:59,840
for the visitors most to Dubai's will

350
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,80
comes from a geological treasure Boyle

351
00:25:03,80 --> 00:25:06,570
extracting it is another major challenge

352
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:11,289
for engineers

353
00:25:11,289 --> 00:25:13,949
you

354
00:25:13,949 --> 00:25:19,720
like

355
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,409
when the driving force behind Dubai's

356
00:25:25,409 --> 00:25:30,560
incredible growth is oil

357
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,850
the Arabian Gulf region has more a bit
then anywhere else in the world

358
00:25:34,850 --> 00:25:40,560
but tapping into the black gold is not
easy

359
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,970
the waters of Dubai can be over 200 feet
deep

360
00:25:43,970 --> 00:25:45,140
the

361
00:25:45,140 --> 00:25:48,540
then dead there's object two miles

362
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:50,580
have sand and rocks

363
00:25:50,580 --> 00:25:57,580
sitting on top but the oil fields

364
00:25:58,830 --> 00:26:02,149
finding and exploiting those precious
reservoirs

365
00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:05,479
is a real challenge

366
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,480
it

367
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,340
morning

368
00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:12,439
are 10 miles from the city

369
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,749
in this construction yaron workers are
building

370
00:26:15,749 --> 00:26:21,80
oil platforms they can take on the
Arabian Gulf

371
00:26:21,80 --> 00:26:24,669
today engineer basil Georgia couple s is
launching

372
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:28,200
a brand new one

373
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,110
call the jack-up rig

374
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:34,570
the regular building here is
specifically designed for this rage in

375
00:26:34,570 --> 00:26:35,639
the Arabian Gulf

376
00:26:35,639 --> 00:26:40,790
where the in water depths range up to
about 200 fate

377
00:26:40,790 --> 00:26:43,20
looks like we're just about to take off

378
00:26:43,20 --> 00:26:48,20
the Jacka bring is no ordinary oil
platform it's designed to be mobile

379
00:26:48,20 --> 00:26:51,760
and hoped for oil

380
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,750
I

381
00:26:52,750 --> 00:26:54,460
I

382
00:26:54,460 --> 00:26:57,179
T

383
00:26:57,179 --> 00:26:59,960
traditional production rigs stand in one
spot

384
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:03,270
thick stiff foundations drew deep into
the sea floor

385
00:27:03,270 --> 00:27:08,260
I'm

386
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:11,220
a jack-up rig is less restricted

387
00:27:11,220 --> 00:27:18,220
Eakin low-down wherever it's needed and
then extend its long legs

388
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:21,719
there large black

389
00:27:21,719 --> 00:27:25,700
beat spread it sweet see plea over this
even

390
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:26,500
way

391
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:28,410
up bro

392
00:27:28,410 --> 00:27:32,700
they hold the rig for well is drilled
pierces the rock

393
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:39,700
to tap into the treasure hidden under
the goals

394
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,800
I really like this cuz 165

395
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,399
million US dollars to build and we can
have up to a thousand people working on

396
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:50,710
it

397
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:54,380
at any one time such a big investment is
only worth it

398
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:59,170
because the returns out here are immense
the Arabian Gulf

399
00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:02,550
called over half a trillion barrels a
VoIP

400
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:07,560
the ballclub our planet's mill oil
reserves

401
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,178
how did so much Boyle end up in one
place

402
00:28:12,179 --> 00:28:17,900
you can answers lie 15 miles north of
the city

403
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:22,380
in a shallow the good it

404
00:28:22,380 --> 00:28:26,700
this when the convo untouched bit sad
case thing and I can see

405
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:29,900
contains the covered by the tide a
high-water

406
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:32,990
the tide is left behind

407
00:28:32,990 --> 00:28:39,670
declares a LG in the good thank dark
organic the Kingston anti-tank

408
00:28:39,670 --> 00:28:46,670
things might be what a contrast way

409
00:28:52,49 --> 00:28:55,90
mile this is amazing

410
00:28:55,90 --> 00:28:58,459
kids almost like that might lead to
actually is she is

411
00:28:58,460 --> 00:29:01,700
living organisms and remains a bidding
opens:

412
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:05,379
the ancestors but these tiny organisms

413
00:29:05,379 --> 00:29:11,90
made the oil in Dubai the

414
00:29:11,90 --> 00:29:15,689
200 million years ago the area would
have sat at the bottom oven ocean

415
00:29:15,690 --> 00:29:20,419
yield

416
00:29:20,419 --> 00:29:23,509
cool its warm shallow waters team

417
00:29:23,509 --> 00:29:27,510
with microscopic sea creatures love

418
00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:30,500
as they died date for the carpet have
cadavers

419
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:34,760
on the sea floor

420
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,140
sediments settled on top increasing the
pressure

421
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:42,470
and he below the

422
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:46,140
overtime this transport the dead sea
creatures

423
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:49,300
in 20 µl this

424
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:53,570
black gold said trapped until cracks in
the rock surrounded

425
00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:56,590
allowed it to booze upwards home and
cool

426
00:29:56,590 --> 00:30:01,740
in hundreds have pockets deep under the
Gulf on

427
00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:05,310
it's this geological accident that
really put Dubai

428
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:09,570
on the map yeah

429
00:30:09,570 --> 00:30:15,230
in the construction yard basil's rig is
ready for action

430
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:18,720
the crew must now move the six thousand
tonnes deal monster

431
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,30
onto an ocean-going barge

432
00:30:23,30 --> 00:30:26,129
lullabies watching and it's very
critical operation

433
00:30:26,130 --> 00:30:33,130
so that we can actually achieve the
delivery day I

434
00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:37,300
they have just 18 minutes at high tide
to complete the operation

435
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:43,190
if they fail the barge could be grounded

436
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:49,440
the first then with bright spots and I
don't want to run out of time

437
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,710
at the moment

438
00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:53,230
everybody's watching these ramps and

439
00:30:53,230 --> 00:30:56,590
the Todd the team floods ballast tanks

440
00:30:56,590 --> 00:31:00,610
in the front of the barge to balance the
massive weight bearing down on the back

441
00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:01,740
end

442
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:05,770
the new in the box really starting to
feel the bending moment now

443
00:31:05,770 --> 00:31:08,550
we're just gonna go watch the bad
because as the white ships into the

444
00:31:08,550 --> 00:31:10,460
botched Nash is gonna 10 to 12 till

445
00:31:10,460 --> 00:31:13,720
college all doing very well actually

446
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,270
the Palestinians being good the white
shifting of this site

447
00:31:17,270 --> 00:31:20,820
excellent

448
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:24,59
the rig makes it onto the barge just
before the tighter

449
00:31:24,59 --> 00:31:27,500
it in a few weeks it will join the hunt
for oil

450
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,490
and power Dubai's expansion

451
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:34,470
gonna go out to the Arabian Gulf hotel

452
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:37,840
as the chosen location and begin pretty
much operating immediately

453
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,289
this is the latest

454
00:31:41,289 --> 00:31:46,000
in a series a boil rick's pumping more
than 50,000 barrels a day

455
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:53,000
from Dubai's offshore oil pockets

456
00:31:53,730 --> 00:32:00,100
together they generate more than a
billion dollars a year for the city

457
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:03,889
Boyle help Dubai explode into the
thriving Economic Club

458
00:32:03,890 --> 00:32:08,350
it is today

459
00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:12,840
what is more and more people work here
in search of a paradise retreat

460
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:19,840
this CD is running out of space

461
00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:25,679
well love

462
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,630
you

463
00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:32,520
when Dubai

464
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,10
is the fastest-growing desert city on
birth but to attract the super-rich

465
00:32:38,10 --> 00:32:42,210
and sustain its growth it needs to offer
beachfront real estate

466
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,250
which is in limited supply so

467
00:32:45,250 --> 00:32:48,540
engineers came up with this the Palm
Jumeirah

468
00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:55,540
a man-made Island shaped like a giant
palm tree

469
00:32:57,230 --> 00:33:01,580
it's a monumental feat of engineering

470
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:08,580
pulling the plug on the ocean reveals
its true scale

471
00:33:09,809 --> 00:33:11,879
C

472
00:33:11,879 --> 00:33:16,19
this size but one thousand football
fields it sits inside

473
00:33:16,19 --> 00:33:22,60
a barrier made from over seven million
tonnes abroad

474
00:33:22,60 --> 00:33:23,590
on

475
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:27,539
$150 million tonnes obscene create space

476
00:33:27,539 --> 00:33:31,510
for over 5,000 homes no luxury Island
Resort

477
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,420
build right into the ocean

478
00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:37,700
but Aqeel kazeem

479
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,600
has witnessed the island's rise from the
deep

480
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,730
this obviously came out to the surgeon
meet and at that point

481
00:33:44,730 --> 00:33:48,760
divided have a very short shoreline that
left very little space

482
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:55,490
for luxury beach run properties United
70 kilometers to our existing shoreline

483
00:33:55,490 --> 00:33:59,460
this works very well because he's got a
very large the conference the

484
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:04,470
the island not only looks beautiful from
above it also because the shape of the

485
00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:05,40
Bruns

486
00:34:05,40 --> 00:34:09,110
each run has to rosa houses so there's
one road going that way in the

487
00:34:09,110 --> 00:34:14,340
although the rate coming back

488
00:34:14,340 --> 00:34:16,80
home

489
00:34:16,80 --> 00:34:20,739
man-made islands like the poll are the
ultimate way to expand the waterfront in

490
00:34:20,739 --> 00:34:21,350
Dubai

491
00:34:21,350 --> 00:34:24,179
home

492
00:34:24,179 --> 00:34:27,789
and this is the table machine be used to
build

493
00:34:27,789 --> 00:34:32,540
the cutter suction dredger ur Khaleej
Bay

494
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:35,790
he can rip over a hundred thousand tons
of sand and rock

495
00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:39,400
up the seafloor every week it secret
weapon

496
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,900
this lethal cutter head

497
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,970
on the cover at there are back with a
thief monthes

498
00:34:45,969 --> 00:34:50,699
these are the Hammers that the break the
material we had reading rock regretting

499
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:51,679
sending material

500
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:56,69
in this got their heads at the insights
there's a make such a mouth

501
00:34:56,70 --> 00:35:00,330
and its except all material that has
been loosened my dad my dad itself

502
00:35:00,330 --> 00:35:05,940
but an awful and I'm

503
00:35:05,940 --> 00:35:08,900
building and island from scratch takes a
whole

504
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:11,430
lead the dredge urs

505
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:17,129
they must harvest more than $150 million
tonnes have said

506
00:35:17,130 --> 00:35:20,50
saddling feeds the exact shape but the
Island

507
00:35:20,50 --> 00:35:24,200
to the ship's navigation systems

508
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,250
pipes shoot this and back into the sea
until the rough shape but the

509
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:32,640
Island rises above the surface

510
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:39,640
finally boats with huge suction pumps
smooth out the edges

511
00:35:41,570 --> 00:35:48,570
then the island is ready for people to
move in

512
00:35:49,749 --> 00:35:53,419
cool

513
00:35:53,420 --> 00:35:57,390
time

514
00:35:57,390 --> 00:36:00,549
to buy here you need cash lots of it

515
00:36:00,550 --> 00:36:06,470
the best plots sell for up to fifty
million dollars

516
00:36:06,470 --> 00:36:10,118
what makes us unique is that is God
adorns 85 the review

517
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:14,859
%uh the sea and this person is obviously
paid a premium

518
00:36:14,859 --> 00:36:19,598
for this location a plot like this boy
typically go for about 170 million

519
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:20,180
dirhams

520
00:36:20,180 --> 00:36:23,359
you would obviously be someone to home

521
00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:27,630
I money is no object building into the
sea

522
00:36:27,630 --> 00:36:30,770
is the way to go in Dubai and the
coastline

523
00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:34,430
has changed dramatically

524
00:36:34,430 --> 00:36:38,640
construction crews have used over 800
million tonnes have said

525
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,69
to create more than 900 city blocks have
led

526
00:36:42,70 --> 00:36:46,560
in the city

527
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,49
that's enough said to bury New York
Central Park

528
00:36:50,50 --> 00:36:54,50
more than four feet deep

529
00:36:54,50 --> 00:36:57,700
the island's had created space for up to
three million people

530
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:02,600
and there are plans to build even more

531
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:09,600
together bill make this city shoreline
seven times longer than it was

532
00:37:12,210 --> 00:37:17,740
the dredge urs have changed the Costa to
buy beyond recognition but nature

533
00:37:17,740 --> 00:37:20,850
is fighting back the wind and currents

534
00:37:20,850 --> 00:37:26,580
threatened to drag the sandbag go to see

535
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:30,569
engineers must take drastic action to
protect their coastline

536
00:37:30,570 --> 00:37:36,830
from the ocean

537
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:43,830
you love

538
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,370
you Lurie miles

539
00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:55,80
from Dubai's Coast the team with diverse
is heading for the city's latest mega

540
00:37:55,80 --> 00:37:57,230
project

541
00:37:57,230 --> 00:38:01,180
the world Islands half a billion tons
have said

542
00:38:01,180 --> 00:38:07,299
sculpted into a mad on the glow

543
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:10,520
defending these islands from strong
currents and winds

544
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,210
is the latest challenge per city
engineers Brendan Jack

545
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:20,90
is on his way to inspect the island's
breakwater a huge wall approx

546
00:38:20,90 --> 00:38:25,250
that shields the Islands from erosion

547
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:28,260
the team is searching for a recent
addition to the site

548
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:32,280
well using the GPS to try and find a
location alert

549
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,600
because we have a lot going on

550
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,200
maps make a big black nation other
clients

551
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,29
this top secret location is the site
have one of the most daring projects

552
00:38:42,30 --> 00:38:45,770
ever undertaken in Dubai

553
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:47,820
right here

554
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:51,869
okay

555
00:38:51,869 --> 00:38:56,50
four years ago divers discovered a huge
coral reef

556
00:38:56,50 --> 00:39:00,510
a rare find in these waters on butted
lei at the entrance

557
00:39:00,510 --> 00:39:05,550
the busy harbour the corals were dying
Brendan and his team took on the

558
00:39:05,550 --> 00:39:07,970
challenge but moving the entire reef

559
00:39:07,970 --> 00:39:12,220
to the world Islands breakwater the
seemingly impossible task

560
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:17,118
never tried before when the work was
done there was no guarantees of success

561
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:20,740
the call we had he was what's called a
hot or encrusting called

562
00:39:20,740 --> 00:39:26,290
it grows very tightly on the rocks so if
you use traditional relocation with its

563
00:39:26,290 --> 00:39:27,110
he wouldn't work he

564
00:39:27,110 --> 00:39:31,619
I'm the reef was the biggest in Dubai

565
00:39:31,619 --> 00:39:36,30
with 22,000 colonies of course

566
00:39:36,30 --> 00:39:40,690
if the gene tried pulling them off the
rocks one at a time they would kill one

567
00:39:40,690 --> 00:39:42,970
have three

568
00:39:42,970 --> 00:39:46,529
so they came up with a radically new
technique

569
00:39:46,530 --> 00:39:50,160
they drilled holes into the boulders
that form the reef

570
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:57,160
filled them with non-toxic glue and
inserted steel rods

571
00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:04,170
then they were ready for the big move

572
00:40:04,170 --> 00:40:07,50
a cream lifted the boulders from the sea
bed

573
00:40:07,50 --> 00:40:14,50
and tied them to a barge

574
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,20
now the crew could tell the corals nine
miles to their new home

575
00:40:18,20 --> 00:40:25,20
so they never left the water

576
00:40:29,50 --> 00:40:33,260
moving over a thousand borders each
weighing around five tons

577
00:40:33,260 --> 00:40:40,260
was it epic endeavor

578
00:40:40,430 --> 00:40:44,440
the team added tell them how to the
World Islands and gently lower than

579
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:50,109
onto the breakwater hoping the courts
were undamaged

580
00:40:50,109 --> 00:40:53,930
there have been spread open spaces 10
football fields to get this call the

581
00:40:53,930 --> 00:40:56,328
best chance to possibly has for survival

582
00:40:56,329 --> 00:41:00,650
and for growing more car left here on
the race today

583
00:41:00,650 --> 00:41:05,660
Brendan's divers are checking on the
course to see how they're doing

584
00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:10,549
bernadette that okay rough weather

585
00:41:10,549 --> 00:41:14,750
stirs up the water this world that we're
experiencing today is exactly why the

586
00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:18,240
races here it is too broad that physical
protection for the islands have been

587
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,118
created inside the breakwater

588
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:25,619
normally a third all relocated corals
dike

589
00:41:25,619 --> 00:41:30,630
but I'm first count over ninety percent
on the world Island reef are alive

590
00:41:30,630 --> 00:41:33,40
a unique achievement

591
00:41:33,40 --> 00:41:34,210
I'm

592
00:41:34,210 --> 00:41:37,700
they must be on the white background

593
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,220
has a looking

594
00:41:40,220 --> 00:41:45,98
very very very healthy good good the
reef is doing its job now that call

595
00:41:45,99 --> 00:41:48,900
this adding to the protection for the
existing breakwater these on the world

596
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:51,940
so it fulfills a function engineering
wise

597
00:41:51,940 --> 00:41:55,180
but also in terms of jump-starting the
ecological growth

598
00:41:55,180 --> 00:42:00,569
on the natural breakwater that we have
built here here the moving the reef

599
00:42:00,569 --> 00:42:04,58
cost $10 million dollars but it's money
well spent

600
00:42:04,59 --> 00:42:11,59
to protect Dubai's coastline the
ingenious inventions like this

601
00:42:12,40 --> 00:42:18,119
hidden beneath the skin and the City
that defend its coast

602
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:20,780
suck oil from rock

603
00:42:20,780 --> 00:42:23,930
Baker towers in the same up

604
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:27,230
and pump water up skyscrapers

605
00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:31,90
made Dubai rise up from the dunes and
become

606
00:42:31,90 --> 00:42:32,990
this jewel in the desert
