Creating an Ocean: The Engineering Feat Behind the World’s Biggest Aquarium | FD Engineering

Creating an Ocean documents the construction of a gigantic marine life sanctuary in China: a glass and metal structure that can hold a 100 million litre ocean! Ocean Kingdom, the world’s biggest aquarium has just been completed on the island of Hengqin, next to Macao. There is not a single place that resembles this dream factory, in terms of construction site size, architectural type or scale, number of marine species on show or in estimated volume of visitors. It took teamwork from experts around the world to piece together a real architectural engineering puzzle. The giant aquarium alone has already broken several records. It’s going to bring together the largest number of whale sharks in captivity as well as various stingrays such as giant manta rays. It will also be a home to no less than 20,000 fish and around 5,000 different species. This mini-series covers 4 years of exceptional work, innovations and technical achievement together with top-notch logistics. It also shows how each animal has been introduced to its new habitat as well as the amazing work of those in charge of taking care of these animals who are real celebrities.

The scale of this aquarium is incredible—definitely an engineering marvel! While it’s impressive to see such dedication to recreating marine habitats, I really hope they’re also prioritizing the well-being of the sea life inside. It would be amazing if this place truly served as both entertainment and a sanctuary for conservation. 🌊🐠

The way they’re overfishing the oceans, this will be like a museum for what was.

Ignoring the ethical questions, an amazing aquarium ☺

[BradK]

Here is an idea, build a large aquarium near the ocean, with a window to the actual ocean, let the animals come and go as they please. .entice them to stay by creating healthy ecosystems.

Narrator spoke his mind when he said the whale shark is finally imprisoned in the container.

This is a massive undertaking.... great team work

[richardtheisen]

This video could've been 10 hours and I still would've wanted more

[zPersius]

The engineering required to handle the plumbing, electrical and filtration for something like this is so impressive. Not to mention all the engineering for building the structures. I would love to get the opportunity to visit this place sometime.

Animals aren’t entertainment, they’re living creatures.

I wish they spent more time growing actual coral reefs or at least have a long term plan to grow one.

[jameswilson]

Perhaps we will learn enough to teach enough humans all over the planet what a rare gem of a world we have. Budgets for wonders like this instead of weapons of war. That would be a huge step forward for all humanity.

China is always building some mind blowing, impressive architectural phenomenons!! I love Chinas 🇨🇳 ingenuity!! Huge respect from US all the way from Texas. Super impressed with your work ethic and brilliance.

[jlane]

Incredible. I can only imagine the experience for newcomers of the aquarium to be the original team. I hope to see follow-up videos. 😊

[SoCalFreelance]

Amazing! Thank you for posting this! The word amazing is used on a weekly basis to describe Chinese achievements in engineering.

I have never seen anything in my 60 years on earth more impressive .To witness a vision of this scale, with many world records achieved along the way was glorious to watch happen and the naration of this video was outstanding .Every creature was treated with love and every detail was considered to ensure their well being and happiness .I am convinced each creature will live a long and happy life in their beautiful new homes. The pride each person involved with this amazing one of a kind, aquatic theme park felt is evident in their smiling faces .The entire crew worked together tirelessly ensuring the success of this grand vision came to life.Isnt it amazing how the ocean is capable of naturally being the perfect temperature and salinity and how much thought had to go into recreating every aspect of the sea .We must keep our oceans pristine and free of contamination and pollutants it is an amazing machine of its own accord and when and if it dies so will mankind .❤❤CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON INVOLVED .I have never had a bucket list this video changed that I'm starting one and this is at the number one spot.I hope that someday I may be fortunate enough to be a guest this was so great to watch and so inspiring in many ways❤❤❤❤❤❤

For every success behind this kind of hard work 🙏

[mikestone]

It is a marvel for sure. A work of art. I hope the Chinese take care of all the marine life.

[skyplie]

Amazing, good job china, Japan all those who helped to build it AWESOME.

[freeman]

This is amazing to see what human being can achieve with determination

[ceedaddy]

Amazing !! What a Beautiful Park !! Need to get my Passport Renewed and Go See ASAP !!!
