Japan constructed a $20 billion Airport in the ocean, but it is now sinking.
Japan’s Kansai International Airport, located on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, Japan, is an impressive feat of engineering that opened in 1994 at a cost of $20 billion. Built to alleviate land constraints, the airport was constructed on soft, alluvial soil, which was expected to settle over time. However, the rate of sinking turned out to be faster than initially predicted. To mitigate the issue, engineers installed thousands of steel pilings to stabilize the ground. Despite these measures, the island continues to subside by several centimeters each year.
Ongoing efforts, including raising runways and adjusting infrastructure, have helped keep the airport functional. However, the high costs and continuous maintenance required pose long-term challenges. Kansai Airport remains an essential hub for international travel, but its future depends on the success of these engineering interventions. The airport’s situation highlig… 0 reply
