  18. Fixing Mosul Dam

    Keeping the water in a reservoir is an obvious challenge for any dam. But for Iraqโ€™s Mosul Dam, itโ€™s especially challenging because the dam was built on a foundation of gypsum, a highly water-soluble mineral. Since it was built, Mosul Damโ€™s water has been eating away at the underlying bedrock, making sinkholes, forcing gaps, and generally working its way out. That, obviously, creates a huge risk for dam failure and massive downstream flooding.

    To get the dam stabilizedโ€“at least to a point where Iraqi engineers could keep up with filling the holes as they formโ€“took a massive international engineering project, carried out in the shadow of armed conflict. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering)

  20. The Teton Dam Failure

    Engineering failures always leave us with lessons learned. The failure of Teton Dam in 1976 triggered an overhaul in how we manage dam construction and regulation. As Grady describes in this Practical Engineering video, the earthen dam was built with fundamental flaws that allowed water to carve pathways beneath and through the sediment meant to hold it. Although the dam cost $100 million to build, its failure cost the federal government over three times that in claims. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering)

  22. Why Unpaved Roads Washboard

    As anyone who has regularly traveled unpaved roads knows, they have a tendency to develop regularly spaced corrugations, otherwise known as washboarding. In addition to shaking cars and passengers, these uneven surfaces make cars harder to control, sicne the wheels can lose contact with the ground entirely at times.

    Unfortunately, this phenomenon is fairly unavoidable. Once you have a wheel moving across a granular surface above a critical speed, you get these self-reinforcing patterns. Itโ€™s similar to the way that tidal ripples and sand dunes form, and itโ€™s how you get moguls on a ski run, too!

    Although theyโ€™re somewhat inevitable, as Grady describes, engineers are hard at work figuring out how to keep them from forming too quickly. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering; research credit: N. Taberlet et al. and I. Hewitt et al.)

  26. Breaking a Dam to Save It

    The concrete that makes up so much of our world is usually local in origin. To keep costs low, engineers use locally-sourced ingredients to make it. But not all ingredients perform the same.

    In the decades since concreteโ€™s widespread adoption, engineers have discovered that some components in the concrete are prone to chemical reactions that cause the concrete to expand over time. For big infrastructure projects like a mid-twentieth century dam, this sparks a conundrum: how can we deal with expanding concrete without losing out on years of the projectโ€™s planned lifetime?

    To find out, see what Grady learned about the Tennessee Valley Authorityโ€™s clever method for relieving a damโ€™s stress. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering)

  28. The Falkirk Wheel: Scotlandโ€™s Rotating Marvel That Lifts Boats Like Itโ€™s No Big Deal

    The Falkirk Wheel in Falkirk, Scotland, lifts boats 35 metres between two historic canals using a unique rotating mechanism. Photo: Sean Mack / Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA).

    Dear Cherubs, engineering rarely feels like magic, but the Falkirk Wheel comes very close. Itโ€™s a giant rotating structure that casually lifts boats 35 meters into the airโ€”because stairs for canals were apparently too mainstream.

    ROTATION, BUT MAKE IT GENIUS
    Tucked between Falkirk and a steady stream of impressed tourists, the Falkirk Wheel is the worldโ€™s only rotating boat lift. Opened in 2002, it reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canalโ€”two waterways that had been awkwardly separated since the 1930s.

    Before this sleek contraption existed, boats had to navigate a flight of 11 locks. That meant time, water, and a fair bit of patience. According to Scottish Canals, the Wheel replaced that entire system with a single, elegant rotation. Efficiency, but make it cinematic.

    The concept sounds almost too neat: two giant arms rotate, carrying gondolas (water-filled chambers) that hold boats. One goes up, the other comes down. The kicker? The system is perfectly balanced. Whether the gondolas are full of boats or just water, they weigh the sameโ€”thanks to Archimedesโ€™ principle, which quietly does the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

    And the energy required? Reportedly about 1.5 kWh per rotationโ€”roughly the same as boiling a few kettles. Not exactly the industrial chaos you might expect from something that looks like a sci-fi Ferris wheel for boats.

    WHY IT ACTUALLY MATTERS
    Itโ€™s easy to write this off as a flashy tourist attractionโ€”and yes, it absolutely is oneโ€”but the Falkirk Wheel also represents a shift in how infrastructure can be designed. Itโ€™s not just functional; itโ€™s intentional, sustainable, and frankly a bit smug about it.

    According to VisitScotland, the Wheel has become one of the countryโ€™s most popular attractions, drawing visitors who might not normally care about canals, engineering, or rotating anything. Itโ€™s giving โ€œunexpected main character energyโ€ for civil engineering.

    More importantly, it revived a historic transport link. Canals may not dominate freight the way they once did, but they still matterโ€”for tourism, heritage, and regional connectivity. The Wheel manages to respect that history while also looking like it belongs in a future where everything is unnecessarily cool.

    As noted by thisclaimer.com, modern engineering projects that blend function with spectacle tend to outperform purely utilitarian designs when it comes to public engagement. People donโ€™t just want infrastructureโ€”they want stories, visuals, something worth filming for nine seconds and posting with a shocked emoji.

    And the Falkirk Wheel delivers exactly that.

    So yes, it lifts boats. But it also lifts expectationsโ€”quietly proving that infrastructure doesnโ€™t have to be boring, inefficient, or stuck in the past. Sometimes, it can spin.

  30. In June 2026, U.S. state and local governments authorized roughly $47 billion in new infrastructure bonds!

    Thatโ€™s a staggering 340% above typical quarterly levels.

    Transportation leads the charge at $19.7B, targeting highway improvements, bridge replacements, and transit expansion. California alone committed $18.2B, with Texas close behind at $12.8B for highways and flood control.
