Mega Movers

Oil Machines

Oil is the lifeblood of the world's economy, and it's up to the Mega Movers to make sure that this flow is uninterrupted. Off the coast of Singapore, one of the largest and most unusual ships ever built will transport an entire 22,000-ton oil rig to the Gulf of Mexico. Making the 14,000-mile trek across two oceans will test the skills of both man and machine. And in Alaska, the pressure is on to move an 80-by-60-foot pump station on the Trans-Alaskan pipeline. But an approaching winter storm threatens to stop this move cold. Will these vital oil industry components successfully reach their destinations?

Mega Movers

Ancient Mystery Moves

The towering 80-ton statues on Easter Island and the 800-ton trilithon stones of the Roman God of Thunder's Temple are examples of ancient engineering miracles that would appear to be too heavy to move. Scientists and engineers search for clues and set out to solve the mysteries of how primitive man pushed the limits of ingenuity and pulled off the impossible.

Mega Movers

Extreme Ocean Salvage

The world's oceans are graveyards for some of the greatest ships ever built. During the mid-1500's the English warship Mary Rose was sunk by a French cannon.

Mega Movers

Extreme Aircraft Recovery

The crew risks their lives to salvage four World War II aircraft. A P-38 is freed from its tomb 260 feet below a glacier, a Nazi Focke-Wulf 190 is recovered from the floor of the frigid North Sea, and a B-24 is hauled down towering cliffs.

Mega Movers

Lock, Stock, & Barrel

It's a scenario right out of a science fiction movie. What if in the future the Pentagon -- the world's largest office building -- had to be moved, while operating at full-capacity?

Mega Movers

Perils in Paradise

When it comes to working in extreme environments, our movers are ready! In this episode, we travel from Florida to Hawaii where our movers confront two different working conditions--both considered danger zones. In Florida, they battle the elements to preserve a hurricane-ravaged beach by moving nearly 3 million cubic yards of sand from the ocean floor to the coastline. In Hawaii, an old plantation house is moved deep into a rain forest on the edge of an active volcano. Join us as we learn the ways the pros who know the conditions get the job done.

Suppose the world's largest aircraft carrier, the 1,092 feet USS Ronald Reagan, came under enemy attack and was crippled at sea.

Mega Movers

Massive Bridges

Bridges move people and cargo daily, but what happens when the bridge itself needs to be moved? In this episode, we see how two very different bridges are moved--using two very different methods. In Missouri, local bridge preservationists attempt to transport a 137-ton railroad bridge right through the heart of downtown Kansas City. And in Iowa, the National Guard rallies to save a 129-year-old bridge using one of the most modern mega-moving tools available: a Chinook Helicopter. Will our Mega Movers succeed in preserving these beloved bridges for future pedestrians to use?
