Moving A 200-Year-Old Baptist Church In Salem, Massachussetts| Huge Moves | Spark

In Salem, Massachusetts, America s leading mansion mover, Jerry Matyiko, attempts to shatter records with the biggest building move of the year. He faces the task of lifting and moving a 1,000-ton church to a new site where it will be redeveloped into a Courthouse Law Library. The structure is weak and contains a vast auditorium that could cave in during the move if unsupported. Jerry s team must build a grid of steel inside and outside the structure to hold it together during the downhill move. Can the team complete the move before winter storms strike? - Super-size missions, risky routes, and the biggest cargo on the planet-imagine hauling a submarine over dry land, transporting a fleet of mega-yachts across the Atlantic, or relocating 20 ancient Egyptian temples...and now meet the heavy hauliers who tackle incredible odds to get the job done.
