Tunnel to The Center of The Earth? World’s Largest Spillways

Those that know me would agree that I have somewhat of an obsession for all things Deux Ex. After having played the original back in 2001, I was hooked. When I see an opportunity to write an article on a concept or piece of technology that ties into that universe, I pounce on it.

What you’ll find below is a collection of the world’s largest spillways; massive structures delving deep into the earth to drain and divert water from reservoirs. These colossal structures are impressive in scale, and interesting to look at as well. It seems that even the team behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution agreed, as they’ve managed to incorporate what appears to be a gigantic spillway into their latest teaser trailer.

Massive Spillways

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that there are probably no people kayaking or swimming in the area.

This looks like almost like the threaded barrel of a cannon.

This looks like a shot straight out of the tropical world of Far Cry. I can’t imagine how workers support this structure when the water level is low; perhaps they land on it using helicopter?

I'm a co-founder and writer here at Unfinished Man. I write, manage the look and feel of the website, and make sure that nothing breaks. I also reply to the vast majority of our emails, so if you're sending one through, I suggest you be nice. Everyone says I'm the least offensive of our writers, so they gave the email jockey task to me. When I'm not improving the site, I write about fashion, video games, politics, and anything related to science and technology.

    This is incredible, to be sure. It’s look like when you are in top of the mountain.
