The Panama Canal is an 82 km megastructure connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, saving ships over 8,000 nautical miles of travel. Built between 1904–1914, the project required 200+ million m³ of excavation, 75,000 workers, and massive lock chambers that lift ships 26 meters using gravity-powered water systems from Gatun Lake.

In this video, we break down how the Panama Canal was engineered, from the failed French attempt in 1881 to the U.S. redesign, concrete lock construction, disease control, Gaillard Cut excavation, and the 2016 expansion that enabled New-Panamax vessels of 14,000+ TEU.

If you're into civil engineering, megaprojects, locks, excavation, hydrotechnology, or global trade, this documentary explains the technical side with real numbers, history, and construction phases.
