10 of the Greatest Engineering Projects of the Past Decade (2000 – 2010)

It was the decade of highs and lows, a time of great optimism and deep uncertainty. Outside engineering, the past decade was as chaotic as it was promising. A global recession saw many engineering projects held as more engineering companies folded. Meanwhile, engineering projects in some countries were in full throttle, with some impressive projects ending and commencing in that decade.

The projects below are our carefully researched list of some of the most interesting projects that commenced ended between 2000 and …

The Burma Railway – (The Death Railway)
