Japan's Race to Save their Floating Mega Airport
Kansai International Airport is a remarkable engineering project on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, Japan. It was built in response to the region's growing need for air travel. Before its construction, existing airports were reaching their limits, and expanding them took time due to urban development.
So, engineers came up with a bold idea: build an entire airport on an artificial island. This idea was groundbreaking because it had never been done on such a large scale. The Japanese government and regional authorities supported the project because they saw its potential to boost the economy and make Osaka a global transportation hub.
However, building an airport on an artificial island came with its challenges. One major issue was that the island started sinking due to the weight of the materials used in its construction. To tackle this problem, engineers installed a sophisticated support system, but the sinking continues to be a concern.
