oh boy
where do i start?

Fuck, if I know.
Maybe the Sofia metro.

WW2 reconstruction

maybe this.
Or the British Channel tunnel.

Interstate highway system, Hoover dam, a fuckton of bridges, pioneering airline infrastructure etc. etc.

Autobahnen

...

Göta Kanal maybe? idk

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göta_Canal

Toilet seats for American tourists

that's a hard one
turning of siberian rivers, probably, it was the biggest but also the failliest

Don't forget the Erie canal, Panama canal, NYC subway system, Transcontinental railroad...

The Romans would get a boner over American road networks

...

Can you imagine actually working on the Transcontinential railroad? That would be an absolute hell

Probably our national roads that connect Finland together. Pic related is national road 4

Maybe building nuclear power plant.

The Panama Canal had a much higher rate of death desu

...

I just watched The Grand Tour. They were in America and the crowed was filled with fat fucks. And Clarkson said nothing about it! I'm dissapoint

1500 km highway

Clarkson got banned from a flight because he argued with an argentinian at the desk about the falklands lmao
Absolute madman

a $1.5 trillion hyper skyscraper was supposed to be

Building Bergensbanen maybe.

>Catalog
Damn, got any deets?

...

You're welcome

Is that where you literally made a sea half disappear?

Our entire country is one big infrastructure project.

Of both water and land.

>Thank you based Teddy

The electors need to do their duty to the country and vote for anyone but Trump

>4 kilometers high
What the fuck

Creating nuke I guess. Entire cities and insustrial giants were built in 3 years right after the war to build a nuke. And all of that right after the war.

The deltaworks were pretty big.

I've read this arcology was designed by a russian. Is that true?

t. Numale

That's a big ship you got there. It would be a shame if our sea doors closed for it.

Either the trans canada highway or the railway

...

Ah a nice drive over the sea.

Don't know. Apart from railroads and roads I guess the world's longest road tunnel was one of the costliest projects.

The bridge at 00:52 was also a huge investment for a small country like ours, especially considering it's in the middle of nowhere.

Oh silly house, this land is for seas only. You can't even swim.

How often does that flood over when it rains?

Not sure. Currently there's still the Crossrail being built, one of Europe's largest infrastructure projects.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossrail

youtube.com/watch?v=S36fHqXWKdw

Apparently 78 km long D1 highway section from Lipník to Polish borders which was built in earlier 2000's and costed about 60 billion CZK, that makes like 2.3 billion Euro

Never. We have designated flooding areas.

Second largest building on the planet. So heavy it sinks 1cm per year

Explain pls Dutchman senpai

>looks outside
Everything.

Trump needs to hire the Dutch for his wall.

>Buckingham Palace to get £369m refurbishment

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38025513

Tourists pls come to London and spend money.

Wasn't that money supposed to go to the NHS?

Our water levels are entirely artificial. We control how much water goes into and out of the country. And there are waterpumps of course.

And if a flood does seem likely past the outer and inner dykes, then we can redirect the water to areas which are reserved for such occasions.

>tfw Kate will never dress as a nurse and tend to you

>£369m refurbishment
Guilliotine would cost about 1000 max. Plus people would literally pay millions to watch a regicide.

Probably the rail network, in the early 20 century it was the biggest in europe

So it's gonna sink a meter in a 100 years... Really makes you think

Damn, how reliable is the system? Does almost no one in the Netherlands have flood insurance as a result?

Gotthard tunnel probably

The risk assessment that the system is build on is that the west (holland) is only allowed to flood in a tide that can occur 1 time 10000 years.

The big rivers in the south 1 time in 1250 years.

Some small rivers on high ground (in hills in the south east) are build for 1 time in 250 years.

A geological repository.

Impressive

In the DR, a dam. We're pretty small though.

You should build a wall and make Haiti pay for it.

But that's all statistics.

Although, some sewer systems aren't build up to specs. Which can leave some streets wet after a heavy rainy storm. But at least it's not an ocean or canal that floods us.

This is mostly on higher ground areas where the risk of flooding is the lowest.

Lower risk of flooding ironically results in less water infrastructure and more problems.

Flood insurance

Well maybe you just misspelled it

What the hell? Really?

electrification project was hueg
basically 1/6 of planet was electrified in short period

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOELRO_plan

*1/6 of surface t b h

2 big pulp mills and 4 hydroelectric dams

Considering the size of the nation, the goal of the project and the cirumstances, no nation stands a chance against the netherlands anti flooding system.
