Grand Designs on a grand, international scale!

Does anyone know if there are any documentaries about the Chep Lap Kok airport building project anywhere?

There was a great doc on Discovery Channel a while back. I think I have it on disc somewhere. Probably on youtube or an 'on demand' channel somewhere?
