Extreme Engineering was a documentary television series that aired on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. The program featured futuristic and ongoing engineering projects. The series' last season aired in July 2011. Danny Forster first hosted the series in season 4 and has been the host since season 6.
Engineering the Impossible was a 2-hour special, created and written by Alan Lindgren and produced by Powderhouse Productions for the Discovery Channel. It focused on three incredible, yet physically possible, engineering projects: the nine mile (14 km)-long Gibraltar Bridge, the 170-story Millennium Tower and the 4000+-foot-long Freedom Ship. This program won the Beijing International Science Film Festival Silver Award, and earned Discovery's second-highest weeknight rating for 2002. After the success of this program, Discovery commissioned Powderhouse to produce the first season of the 10-part series, Extreme Engineering, whose episodes were written by Alan Lindgren, Ed Fields and several other Powderhouse writer-producers. Like Engineering the Impossible, the first season of Extreme Engineering focused on extreme projects of the future. Season 2 (and all seasons since) featured projects already in construction around the world.

Gotthard Base Tunnel-Build it Bigger by Danny Forster Part-I The Gotthard Base Tunnel is two parallel tunnels measuring about 57km each, served by a maze of access tunnels and passages. In total there will be 153.5 km of tunnel through the Swiss Alps. The purpose of this project was to solve the heavy European road traffic problem on this major route through the Alps, while at the same time to develop Europe’s high-speed rail network. This tunnel, can only handle three-truck freight trains of up to 2,000 tons. Whereas the new tunnel would take 4,000 ton heavy freight trains – carrying entire trucks on board. The trains will be able to travel at speeds of up to 250kmph, resulting in a train journey time between Zurich and Milan of just two hours and 40 minutes – a third less than at prese...
