The Kansai International Airport is just that - and island built to provide the space for an airport - an engineering marvel. Forty-one aircraft can park at the immense terminal - the only man-made structure other than the Great Wall of China visible from space. The only problem is that this amazing airport is slowly sinking!

Thank you for uploading this video i really enjoy it through and through. Although i had flew out of this airport once in the past, it’s amazing to see this piece of engineering work accomplishment but, it’s a shame, it will not be here for long as nature had a way of reclaiming its space. What a beautiful gem…

Without knowing all these factors in 2001, I have once become a consumer of this Japanese ambitious engineering Marvell by landing for a connection flight. The over night delay staying compelled me to take the train rides back and forth in to the city and the airport. Also I relentlessly hung around the lobbies and duty free shops for several hours in the chilling cold and took off from there eventually for ever. I was all alone and this experience was killing me every moment to another moment . After these decades learned something about it only now for the first time watching this material my every second of frustrating stay time at that man made island The Kansai International Airport have become invaluable in my accounting. Well done to the engineers, the Japanese and airport maintenance workers. Keep up the good work always.

The landing and takeoffs were shown on the video screens in the seatbacks so the views were spectacular! The convenance of staying on the airport grounds was fantastic. A great place to enter Japan and a wonderful engineering accomplishment for all involved. Art

this is the airport I used on my previous trip to Japan. very easy to use. Heck I have a harder time finding where to go at local HNL than at KIX. my trip ended and I returned home just weeks before a powerful typhoon's storm surge flooded the original man made island. The storm surge also caused a oil tanker to crash and cause major damage to the auto/train bridge. Kansai is fully functional today. I plan on using it again for my next trip to japan.

As a Japanese taxpayer whose primary airport is KIX... the flight from Fukuoka to Osaka Kansai International is shorter than the time it takes to get into the city from KIX. The airport's reputation among locals is that it is expensive, poorly engineered, too far away, has a poorly accessible second terminal and a scrubby mix of fast food offerings. 99% of people are happier to fly out of Itami Airport, the old airport, because it is closer to the city and more comfortable.

It rests upon more than a million support columns, which delve 20 metres into the sea and 20 metres into a muddy layer before being driven an additional 40 metres into the rock below. The fact that the muddy layer continues to settle at an irregular rate also had to be taken into account. A rather complex solution was required in order to address this problem. A series of special sensors are used to detect when the mud has settled to a point that exceeds the foreseen maximum tolerance of 10 mm. Each column is equipped with a calibration system, which employs the use of extremely powerful hydraulic jacks: whenever a column's position is offset, the system adjusts it and locks it in its new position. This phenomenon had a significant effect, in fact, during the initial stage: the island settled by 50 centimetres from 1992 to 1996.

I’m Canadian but live in Kobe, Japan. I work internationally. I use KIX very frequently and it’s one of the easiest and well organized airports in the world. The fact that it’s sinking is an issue, but the amount of money that flows through it daily ensures that there are always keeping a close watch on it and many engineers are on the case full-time. A few years back, there was a huge typhoon that hit the pacific side of Kansai and a huge ship had lost control and crashed into the bridge that goes to KIX, seriously damaging the bridge. An ENORMOUS crew worked 24 hours a day fixing the bridge. KIX was losing about 100 000 000 ¥ (about 1M US$) every hour due to it’s closure. It took them a little less than 3 days to completely fix the bridge. Funny enough, Kobe airport is also on a man-made island. So many times, I fly out from in a man-made island to land on another man-made island.

I have to take my hats off to the designer of the terminal building that was absolute genius a floating airport building and the damage around the city after the earth quake and the zero damage to the terminal building that was nothing short of amazing. the legacy will be for the airport is the superb engineering and designing marvel that this airport is and how successful it is that it needs another runway speaks for itself. May i suggest something if they say it will only sink 19 ft you go to twice that or three times that so as eventually the subsidence will not be as noticeable. the floating terminal was genius for sure and absolutely no damage to the airport i still cannot get my head around that. Great job you should feel proud walking through the building it is a great engineering feet well done to all love the colours by the way very Japanese. I love it.

@@christosutit6187 you are thinking of the Chinese that steal our computer and military engineering from USA. Japan learned about the quality control concepts from USA, then engineered and copy our old ideas about inspiration and big ideas we use to have from the 1900s until USA landed on the moon. Remember, the Japanese engineered and invented bullet trains in the early 1960s and built quality efficient automobiles which the whole world tried to copy without success. If Japan didn't start building automobiles plants all over the US, we would still be building Chevy and Fords.

⁠yeah they are. Not much of anything that they build is original. After WW2 they became excellent at taking designs that the United States gave them and build them efficiently and with high quality. Yamaha outboard company copied (and improved quality control) of Evinrude designs so closely that they were sued for millions over it. Toyota’s first inline six which later became famous in the Landcruiser was a copy of GM’s old six cylinder which the American Allies gave them after WW2. Many of Toyota’s 80s-90s four cylinder engines were designed heavily from what VW was already producing. I’m not taking anything away from the attention to detail and quality that the Japanese are known for but they’ve never been innovators. They take existing designs and technologies and produce it efficiently and with great attention to quality.

At one foot per year. And seventeen feet left. (As of the time this was filmed) then it should have been under water by now? Would love to see the updated documentary. Has there been stop gaps done? Did the rate of compaction slow? If the walls were deep into the sea floor, would an earthquake help with compaction? Also, if compaction is not the issue? Where is the fill going?

When Kansai was built in 1987, it used to look more like Nagoya's floating airport Chubu Centrair because Kansai had only one runway when it was built and Chubu has one runway. Then Kansai had expanded and now has two runways like we know today of Kansai airport.

When the Kansai project was first proposed, an actual floating airport was considered, but rejected for this landfill approach. Given the enormous amount of fill and stabilization required, and the greater than expected sinking, I wonder how the economics of a floating airport would have compared to this project.

The genius of the human mind, when put to genuine work for its nation, can only succeed with conviction,courage and faith! It pays to work abroad with those masters of architecture and engineering work! Exposure to varied mind methods is genuine knowledge in dealing with earth's wealth and nature's varied emotions! Congratulations, Japan! 👏⭐️Thank you, Spark, for such daring challenging coverage in the use of the best of brilliant minds amidst challenging environments! This is a must for International students' growth for future challenges above and below the sea bed and even into space! The human mind has multifarious capacity; it simply weds to be exposed and challenged by like-minded aspirations! 🙏🏼🌈🇯🇵
