The 43rd length in place on Roker Pier, 11 August 1891 (TWAM ref. 3768/8). The image shows Henry Hay Wake with his children and workers of the River Wear Commission.
This set of images relates to Roker Pier, Sunderland and is taken from a scrapbook kept by Henry Hay Wake, chief engineer to the River Wear Commission.
Henry Wake designed Roker Pier and also oversaw its construction from beginning to end. The Pier' s foundation stone was laid in September 1885 and it was formally opened on 23 September 1903. The Pier is 2,800 feet long and was built of Aberdeen granite and concrete cement at a total cost of £290,000.

Bamboos are the most popular choice as construction support material in Bangladesh. It's cheap and abundant.
However, safety issues are not accounted for, at all.

I was at the Devil's Slide Tunnel opening back in March, shooting for CENews. Unhappy with the daytime, road-level press photos that I took, I went back a few weeks later and took this long exposure from a higher perspective.

The Bronx section of the Croton Aqueduct that is just north of Fordham Road makes a linear park that the locals simply call "The Ackie."
When water began flowing under this path on June 22, 1842, back when it was in use it took 22 hours for gravity to feed water 41 miles from the Croton Dam to Manhattan.

Still on the eastern side of the Aqueduct, and in this case facing southwestward.
From this perspective, the structure appears much less massive than in the first two images of the series. Indeed, it seems open, airy, and almost fragile enough to be tipped over in a strong wind. This is largely due to the fact that the arches of the lower arcade are borne on very high and relatively narrow piers. "Delicacy" is not a word that usually springs to mind when one looks at Roman civil engineering, but it's almost applicable here.
Still, the big blocks of Late Carboniferous Guadarrama Granite have rested in their proper places, without the benefit of mortar, for nineteen centuries. And this section of the bridge, its tallest and heaviest, stands on Segovia's trickiest type of bedrock, Upper Cretaceous sandstone much softer than the gneiss and granite underlying the Aqueduct farther to the southeast. Obviously, the Romans laid their footings here most skillfully.

This oblique view was taken on the Aqueduct's western side, in the Plaza de Azoguejo, looking southeast.
There was a time in my life when I lived and traveled on landscapes replete with ancient Roman works. But nothing ever quite produced the visceral impact on me that the Segovia Aqueduct did.
From a practical standpoint, it was just built to be the most reliable means of supplying water to one of the empire's smaller and most far-flung outposts. And yet it's one of the Mediteranean world's most staggering demonstrations of civil engineering.
And, in terms of the shudder of astonishment it provides anyone still capable of wonder, it's a masterpiece of artistic design as well. The American poet Walt Whitman wrote, "All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it." What I do to this miraculous bridge of stone is thank it for giving me a flush of pride in what our own murderous hominid species can actually do in a positive sense.
Of course most of the visual punch the Aqueduct delivers is due to its masonry. Giant ashlar blocks of Guadarrama Granite stand there, and have stood there for nineteen centuries, without any mortar holding them together.
The igneous intrusive rock on display here takes its name from the mountain range (Sierra de Quadarrama) that flanks Segovia to its east. The granite dates to the very late Carboniferous period (ca. 300 Ma), and comes from a mass of magma that was emplaced in the upper crust during the Variscan (Hercynian) Orogeny and the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea.
I'll discuss the local bedrock geology and how the Roman engineers dealt with in photos to follow. But one last thing to note here: if you look closely, you'll see that many ashlar units have small but discernable circular holes in them. These indentations were where the massive blocks were held in pincerlike grips while they were hoisted into position by cranes. That's pretty fancy technology for a culture that had no electrical or steam power—just human and animal muscle aided by the clever use of rudimentary force-multiplying machines.
Oh. I lied. There's one more talking point, too. See the Seventies-era cars parked right along the foot of the Aqueduct's piers? That practice is no longer allowed—to preserve the structure from unnecessary traffic vibrations and from the direct effects of automotive exhaust.

One of the East Leeds Link Road set.
Construction of this monster viaduct continues apace. Most people in Leeds don't seem to know that this is going on. Some roads are being closed off at the w/ends to allow the girders to be lifted into place.
Very early in the morning is a good time to go down, I saw at least one other snapper there.
One of the largest civil engineering projects in Leeds in recent years, yet it seems to be largely unnoticed.
The curves on this thing are insane.
Taken from the high viewing perch on the eastern side of the Aqueduct. Facing south.
In this image we're looking upstream, so to speak, and toward the water's distant source. The high ground in the back, accessed by the broad set of steps, is the Plaza de Dia Sanz. There a single-arcade Aqueduct makes a 45-degree turn into a swale where it becomes a much more impressive, double arcade structure.
Up there on the hill the Roman architects had the firm bedrock footing of Variscan (Late Palezoic) aplitic granite the same age as the Guadrarrama Granite they used for the Aqueduct itself. But in the low area, where the bridge piers and arches they carry weigh the most, they had to deal with softer, Upper Cretaceous sandstone instead.
As I noted in a previous description of this series, the foundation engineers who tackled that problem clearly knew what they were doing. There they carefully excavated socketlike pits into the substrate to give the piers more secure anchorage.
