Worlds Toughest Fixes: High Voltage Power Lines

Quote:
When power lines need servicing, the current must be kept flowing or cities could be suffer blackouts. Sean Riley joins an elite corps who dangle from a helicopter to repair live, 500,000 volt lines

World's Toughest Fixes: Cruise Ship Engine

Image

Quote:
Go on a cruise. They said: In the Bahamas. Itll be a lot of fun, They promised. Mid ocean in the Caribbean, its a race against time. This may be Paradise, but Rileys not on vacation. Hes on his way to a titanic fix. An enormous, 90,000 ton cruise ship is steaming towards one of the worlds largest dry docks. They need to install a new power plant an enormous diesel generator but first they have to land this ship. Thats when the fun starts Then things get a whole lot tougher Its all hands on deck as a huge crew opens the hull pulls out the piping, makes room for a two story addition and struggles to cram a massive new 320 ton generator inside the ship then puts it all back together And in record time! In just twenty days this liner is taking on its next bunch of customers and if the ship is not ship shape theres likely to be a lot of harsh words spoken on board

World's Toughest Fixes:Deep Sea Thruster

Image

Quote:
It's high stakes on the high seas. Sean Riley dons a wetsuit, throws on an air tank and joins a commercial dive team for a very big fix: an offshore engine swap-out on a huge deep water construction vessel. If they fail to remove a piece of thirty ton barnacle-encrusted machinery from the bottom of the hull and replace it with a new one, this giant floating dockyard could be dead in the water. It's a high pressure struggle against the odds, where one slip could end in disaster.

World's Toughest Fixes: Giant Antenna Swap

Image

Quote:
Sean Riley joins the Tower King crew from Dallas, Texas, to fix a faulty television antenna. Two thousand feet in the air and weighing several tons, the sheer height and magnitude of this fix make it a challenge even for Riley, a rigger by trade. Using almost a mile of line and a larger-than-life winch, the crew first removes the old antenna and carefully lowers it to the ground. Only then can they lift and attach the new one. This fix comes down to strength, guts and teamwork.

World's Toughest Fixes Mississippi River Barge

Quote:
Riley heads down to the Big Easy to set about the business of clearing the Mississippi River of a 300-ton barge that was blown into the water by Hurricane Gustav in August 2008

World's Toughest Fixes: Airline ER (boeing 767)

Image

Quote:
When one of Boeing's jetliners needs a repair, a team of specialists gets sent to fix it. They're Boeing's crack AOG (Aircraft on the Ground) team and this time their destination is Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, where Sean Riley joins them to fix a Boeing 767 that suffered a multi-million dollar fender-bender in the airport's parking lot, which damaged the jet's pressure dome� a piece of technology that keeps passengers alive up to 43,000 feet. To make the fix means taking the back of the plane apart, one bolt at a time, and Riley's there for every step of this delicate and dangerous transplant operation

World's Toughest Fixes: Pipeline Shutdown (Alaska Pipeline)

Image

[quote]Sean Riley is deep in the wilds of Alaska on a dangerous fix that could impact the pocketbooks of millions. He and a crew of 100 highly trained men and women shut down the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline � the only conduit to market for almost 15 percent of the US domestic oil production. This major fix calls for swapping out a 32-ton valve system, but the size of the job is the least of their problems. Crude oil is not just highly toxic; it's explosive. The batteries on Riley's cameras alone are enough to spark a disaster. Riley follows the crew as it races to complete the fix in 36 hours� if anything goes wrong and the fix runs over, millions of Americans will pay the price.[/quote

World's Toughest Fixes: Going Nuclear (Nuclear Turbine)

Sean Riley puts on his hazmat suit and heads into the radiation zone for his next tough fix, replacing a steam turbine in a nuclear power plant to boost its energy-producing capacity.

[color="#FF0000"]World's Toughest Fixes: Overpass Overhaul ( Interstate Bridge )[/color]


Image
Quote:
How do you move an object that weighs two and a half million pounds? In this episode of Worlds Toughest Fixes, Riley jumps in with a crew of the leading experts in moving BIG things. The challenge: move a mammoth, five-lane bridge two miles and drop it into place on a major U.S. Interstate highway in Salt Lake City. All without stopping highway traffic for a minute. And to add a little pressure, the placement must be accurate down to just a few inches. This isnt like parallel parking or backing your car into the driveway - you only get one chance at getting this right or everything comes to a screeching halt.
