The history of humankind is also a history of technology, for these inventions and machines make our world accessible. We overcome obstacles, travel great distances, and procure food, energy, and all of life’s necessities. The Mega Building Collection highlights spectacular and pioneering engineering milestones, ranging from the Roman Pont du Gard to the French TGV high-speed train. Each episode focuses on a specific technical achievement. The series explores gigantic dams, shipping canals, tunnels that burrow for kilometres under mountains and seas, and the Millau Viaduct – the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world. Mega Building Collection provides insights into the construction and operation of these icons of progress.
For the second time, the TGV, France’s high-speed train, is the fastest train of the world. Yet, its engineers are continuously pushing for even higher speeds, having launched the new TGV Ocean and the AGV, the TGV of the future. It all began back in the 1950s with the CC 7100 series and its electric locomotive, which was considerably lighter than any of its predecessors. This technological gem made history by breaking the world’s speed record for trains. As the electrification of rail traffic proved to be a success, more and more of the less powered steam locomotives were phased out. Since then, the successors of the original TGV have smashed all records for rail-bound traffic, culminating in 2007 with an incredible performance of 574 kilometres per hour.
