50 Examples Of Brilliant Infrastructure That Are A Testimony To Human Ingenuity (New Pics)
If you think that infrastructure can’t be cool, think again. Transport systems, public utilities, telecommunications, and various facilities might sound dull and dreary on the surface, but that’s not the case. Not only are they vital to keep civilization healthy and society functioning, but they can also look incredibly impressive from a design perspective.
Today, we’re showcasing some of the most out-of-the-box examples of infrastructure from all over the globe, as showcased on this brilliant online group. Scroll down for some awesome sights. And if you have any friends who are engineers or are really into architecture and design, be sure to share the pics with them, too.

On one side, you have everything related to transportation, like roads, highways, railways, bridges, airports, tunnels, public transit, etc. These are probably the things that might immediately come to mind when you hear the word ‘infrastructure.’ However, that’s just part of the equation.

Taken together, good infrastructure is the foundation on which any civilized society is built. Without it, everything falls apart.

Building an elevated bridge over sand dunes. What could possibly go wrong?
Tim Douglass 3 months ago
A lot less than trying to build a ground level rail across sand dunes. The bridge piers go to solid ground. The bridge allows drifting sand to pass underneath, rather than blocking the rails. It also keeps the train and rails up above most of the blowing sand, reducing the wear from having all that grit around.
Load More Replies... Infrastructure that doesn’t just fulfil its function but also lasts for a long time without much need for maintenance is doubly impressive.
Resilient Roadways points out that the Romans began realizing the need for more reliable, long-lasting, durable, and efficient roadway systems in 312 BC. This was when the Via Appia (Appian Way), linking Rome with Capua, began to be built. It was the prototype for the Roman road system.
But the first roads are far, far older than that.

Asphalt cements can be modified, for instance, by adding polymers for added stability, less displacement under traffic, and less fatigue-related distress.
Meanwhile, the so-called binders that are added must be soft enough during cold periods to minimize thermal cracking.

The wind turbines are just marvellous. There's a motorway too - an ugly slash through the landscape, noisy too.

Looks slow from a distance, but one time I looked up a typical length of a wind turbine blade in feet. Multiply by 2 for a Diameter, then multiply by Pi (~3.1416) for the circumference of the circle it sweeps out. Then watch it and count the rotations per minute. RPM times 60 gives rotations per hour, times the circumference of the circle, gives you the speed of the blade tip in feet per hour. Divide by 5,280 to get miles per hour. Doing it in Metric is even simpler. TL;DR - they look slow, but the tips of those blades are definitely hauling @$$.
