RE: Kansai Airport Is Sinking

I’m sure I watched a docu on this a few years ago on TV. Didn’t they always know the place would sink owing to the way it was constructed on an artificial island ? They have huge hydraulic jacks underneath the foundations as well don’t they? with a computer controlled monitoring system that constantly tells the jacks when and where to jack up the airport.

It all seemed very clever at the time, just goes to show you can’t always out engineer Mother Nature!
