Top Ten Construction Projects in World

The Construction industry is something that never stops. To achieve more living space, better infrastructure, production facility, and development, we need to be building some stuff all the time, expanding our concrete footprint everywhere. These construction projects can range from small residential houses to giant skyscrapers or miles-long bridges.

Today, we will discuss ten of these construction projects in the world, which we consider as the largest of them all. These projects not only take up huge ground area, but they are also gigantic in scope, manpower and resource usage, economic and geographical impact, and they take quite some time to build. Some of these require very different kinds of technologies to construct, as you will see below. Our list of the top ten largest construction projects includes infrastructures, industrial, and entertainment complexes.

Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai


Spreading over 21 square miles, the Al Maktoum International Airport is the largest airport under construction ever. While the construction has been scheduled to finish in 2018, it has been delayed indefinitely. The monstrous project will eat up $32 billion in the second phase only. When finished, the airport will be able to accommodate the movements and servicing of two hundred wide-body airplanes and other assorted aircraft at one time.

Jubail II, Saudi Arabia


One of the longest-running industrial projects in the world is Jubail II, running for over 22 years. It is an industrial city, comprising of over a hundred industrial plants, a desalination plant sized eight hundred thousand cubic meters, and an oil refinery capable of producing 350,000 barrels of oil every day. The grounds of this project will be crisscrossed with miles and miles of highways, railroads, and streets to connect it with the rest of the country. It has started the second phase of expansion worth $11 billion back in 2014 is scheduled to continue building till 2024.
