| Summary |
A team of modern day engineers are tasked with recreating and improving on the machines that changed history before putting them to the test in a series of dynamic challenges. This week, presenter Dick Strawbridge sets them to work on the biggest build of the series, the Gothic Mega Crane, which changed the skyline of Europe, building towers higher than the world had ever seen. This is engineering on a massive scale, from the 15 foot crane frame to the giant tread wheel, and as the team discover, the slightest miscalculation can lead to disaster.
