FunFact: The original plan was to dismantle both of the giant cranes each winter, which would have been a huge afford. Instead, the crane manufacturer invented a "winter mode". That kinda is like a fully automated dance routine both cranes perform at least two times per day, to prevent ice buildup and freezing of the slew rings. They also had to develop a new 6x6m tower system to support the freestanding height of those cranes.

What would be really impressive is a story on how they built the first dam 100 years ago.
-
Engineering feats like this leave me in awe of what humanity can achieve if it puts it's mind too.
-
I’m a hydro engineer and you kept me entertained the whole time, so by my reckoning you’ve made a pretty good video! 😊
-
The whole country of Switzerland is a gigantic monument to good planning and hard work. Everything is difficult to construct there, everything is constructed in the best possible way and works as intended. Similar can be said about B1M - it's my favorite YT channel, not just about construction, but in general. A lot of work executed perfectly.
-
Switzerland is just on a whole different level of good government
-
This was an amazing video. Not only was the subject matter fascinating, but the cinematography and humor was first-rate, as well. I certainly hope we will be able to see footage of them draining the reservoir and dredging the bottom.
-
What a wonderful production, seriously ... blew my mind. I moved to Switzerland in March this year and as he said "The mountains, it's simply the mountains." There is something both humbling and rewarding what the scenery gives you. And what a wonderful use of the sheer force of nature.
-
Fred clearly in his element, loving the size and scale of this construction
-
The height increase of the new dam has already been approved by the Swiss government. The new dam will be 23m higher and the capacity of the reservoir will increase twofold. Very cool video mate! Thank you and greetings from Switzerland :)

I was there for two building seassons as a rockblaster and excravator operator..drilling and blasting the hardes granit in swizerland away for the side fundament (removing over 20'000m³ of rock. 7 days a weak nearly 24h per day! It was an amazing time! 🎉
-
Respect and Great Admiration for 600 builders from 1920s. ..back then it was really Hard Job
-
Dam, that was one awesome video! Fred and the team has out done themselves once again! Love the B1M!
-
Incredible cinematography!! I love how the B1M has progressed over the years!
-
Great documentary. I'm Swiss, and I'm really impressed to see the hard work necessary to make a country running !!! thanks B1M
-
This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours. This project is insane and spectacular. The video on nuclear fusion is probably the only one I've enjoyed just as much as this. You guys at the B1M are amazing
-
This is one of THE BEST videos you've produced! Scenic, fun (Bond), use of various photographing techniques...I could go on. Keep 'em coming my friend. YOU ROCK!
-
One of your best, Fred. It’s not just that the project is incredible, but the script and presentation is similarly impressive in communicating the complexity and uniqueness of it. What a story, well told. 👍
-
The drone shots from above are amazing. I had to pause several times and just marvel at the view (especially at 21:51) .... absolutely incredible scenery.
