Impossible Repairs

In Brazil, lowered reservoirs plus an increase in population have stretched the nations power supply thin. The solution: a floating electrical plant on the Atlantic Ocean made up of powerships hooked to a massive regasification unit. Once construction is completed, the ships will be able to generate, convert, and shoot enough electricity to power two million homes. But the checklist is long, and the weather is pushing back. It will take the hard-hat heroes all their muscle and engineering expertise to get the job done on time and on budget.

The worldwide pandemic ceased operations on the worlds only underwater habitat. Mike Davidson joins a crack repair crew as they dive in to bring it back to life and get NASA astronauts back inside for training.

Mike Davidson works with the teams at the enormous Port of Savannah to fix the machines that keep this place running. Boasting multiple massive cargo terminals, an impressive mega-railway system and some of the biggest ship-to-shore cranes on earth, the massive operation relies on its hard hat heroes to keep things running safely and smoothly. Major upgrades are taking the port’s container ship operations to a whole new level, and Mike’s on the team. He works with specialized crews to lift and move three, retired three-million-pound cranes to make room for even bigger ones, while digging in with crew on major repairs to other cranes, vehicles and machines that keep goods flowing. The shipments of essential goods flowing through the port never stops, and neither does the pressure to get these machines back up and running and this port functioning.

With wildfire season ahead, Mike works with an aerial firefighting company as they fix and convert aircraft into firefighting machines, including the transformation of a 1960s C130 plane from aged military aircraft into a stateofthe art waterbomber.

Nevada has over 40,000 abandoned mines posing dangers. Mike joins contractors for a week to secure five sites. Alongside biologists, they explore and document wildlife. Reaching these isolated mines requires barges, helicopters, and bulldozers.

Mike pushes himself to the limit to work with an elite team of high ropes techs on fixes hundreds of feet in the air. Starting 45 stories up on the side of a skyscraper, then working and dangling on the edge of these high-flying fixes.
