They need to begin now to build a third island next to the two existing ones that will have new runways and terminal twice as high as it needs to be. It opens about the time they begin loosing the others. Shut one or both of the original islands to begin raising it/them to the level of the new island.

If they can save the airports, Japan will fix them and build it a lot better but sometimes airports crash down under the water. There's no way they won't save it in time due to the shrinking water with high level sea gets even worse.

@sunflash9 2 ай бұрын

It works well with HK airport, so it's doable when doing "correctly". Kansai is built without sufficient understanding of all the challengers it's going to face, and valuable lessons for similar projects. More airport is likely to be built at sea due to congestion, noise and particle pollution, space constraint with urban center close sea, and no viable unoccupied suburb area to build on.

They've proved that they could take corrective measures too prevent warping, so couldn't they build a sea wall around the island?

@killertaker3990 2 ай бұрын

While I too think this is a good idea. What I am understanding to be the primary issue is the island is sinking due to weight on the island and not from the sea.

Sounds like they need to put a floating device underneath the airport and make it a floating airport and not to rely on the ground to keep it stable only rely on inflatable supports that go underneath the airport

@Notthecobracommander 2 ай бұрын

It was a smart idea because it solves so many of the problems, but as we’ve almost almost everything in life, your greatest strength is your greatest weakness. Airports like Inchon and Hong Kong did the right thing by building on or near existing islands and using the existing foundation to expand.
