TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS
Known for its turquoise sea, white beach and blue sky, the Maldives is one of the most romantic destinations for honeymooners. However, for the Chinese constructors involved in building the bridge, the experience of working in high temperature, high humidity and high levels of ultraviolet radiation was far from romantic.
There was also one caveat: the Sinamale Bridge is constructed in 46-meter-deep waters with a long surge cycle and extremely complicated coral reef geology.
