The most amazing thing of this series is having the contractor on board with being filmed all the time and the videos made public! Props to them for being confident in their work.

This is the type of documentaries I really enjoyed as a kid, but seem to have disappeared.
No fake drama, no bullshit, just pure information. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
You continue to be one of my absolute favorite Youtube channels.

I think anyone who made it to episode 5 can say they thoroughly enjoyed this series. While a second channel might sound like a good idea, I watched your 8 months of work in two days. I don't think content could keep up unless you had a separate team. Either way, your dream of watching a construction site is shared by many, and we look forward to watching much, much more. Thank you, Grady, and everyone behind the camera.

As a long-time subscriber I'd like you to know that this was my favorite thing you've done to date. You did a really fantastic job. I would absolutely love to see more real world projects like this. I appreciate that you took advantage of your unique position to share this with the world. Keep up the good work.

Iâm in the Water and Waste Water industry. I know for a fact your videos are shown to new grads and new employees to help familiarize themselves with different aspects of the water cycle/system. Fantastic content.

Loved the series!! It's my dream that folks like you replace the magic that Discovery and The History channels created but abandoned. Keep up the great work and I'm hoping more people like me appreciate your motives. Looking forward to the next series and learning more about how our world is built.

I work in IT and one of our customers is a local river authority. About a year or so ago I got to go on site to the 7.5 MW hydroelectric power plant in order to troubleshoot remote access to their SCADA unit. I was hardcore geeking out the entire time over all of the massive engineering in that facility, and I got all the pictures to show for it! And the entire time I was eagerly telling my hosts all about your channel!
The plant I saw can produce up to 7.5 MW with flow rates up to 810 cubic feet PER SECOND.
If you ever get the chance to do a Practical Construction series on hydroelectric power, PLEASE TAKE IT!
And if you wanna see my local power plant sometime, hit me up, I might be able to arrange a tour. I'm not in Texas, but you might enjoy a vacation a little further north ;)

This series was amazing. It is the latest proof that we don't need big cable channels and high-paid actors to produce highly compelling, informative, and entertaining shows. The world needs to see more episodes like this. We need to show the next generation that working jobs like this is pretty amazing. They can help make the world a better place.

Sad to see this series to end, one of the best documentary projects here. Everything was so interesting and we got nice explanation for it. Really liked it, i hope you get the opportunity to make more of these

I work at Val-Matic, the company who supplied some of the plug and check valves on this project, and this is becoming a training tool for our new Sales Engineers. Havenât sent anyone describe the construction of a plant as well as this series!

My dad was a field technician for the local water company. He was the guy who'd drive out there at 3am when the red light starts flashing, with a pair of waders in the car just in case. He'd have loved how maintainably designed this station is!

Truly incredible series. Practical Engineering "single"-handedly revived an entire extinct genre of television.

Definitely my favorite series. You've grown into an incredible educator. It's rare to see jobs like this with the type of explanations you give. Great Job. Keep it up!

I know you said this series hasn't been super popular by the numbers. But it has been my favorite you've done!

Thanks for this series, Grady! I've been a water/wastewater process design engineer for 15 years, and it's really cool to see something I do every day documented for the world to see and understand a little bit better. More importantly, I hope many kids will see videos like this and get interested in pursuing careers in the design, construction and operation of civil infrastructure.

This was easily the best mini documentary series of the entire year! If you find any other opportunities like this one I am definitely going to watch that series.

Love these, would love to have more - this is what TLC and Discovery channel used to be - super interesting deep dives into the world around us. I watched it growing up and I'm watching you as an adult. Really well done too, the editing and descriptions were perfect.

As soon as this series started I thought to myself (in Italian): âFinally a web series for âumarellâ!â. It was so unexpected hearing the term cited in this video, and I was sooo pleased with it.

Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible! Producing this series was an adventure. If you love infrastructure as much as I do, you might like my book or Infrastructure Road Trip Bingo (or both at a discount!): store.practical.engineering/
