Over a 106 years old, the Egmore Railway Station in Chennai, remains one of the cities centrally located, renowned landmarks. Its bright red and white colors, and vaulted metal ceiling on the interiors are what make it striking. With typical Victorian wrought iron beams,

Built by Philipp Holzmann AG, 1911. First river tunnel in Continental Europe and still used by pedestrians, cyclists and motor-cars. St Pauli, Hamburg, Germany.
Arches and shapes under the McCullough bridge in North Bend, Oregon USA in mid-afternoon light. The green lattice of the center bridge section is just visible in the distance. This bridge was designed by master engineer Conde B. McCullough and was the longest structure on Oregon's highway system when it was constructed in 1936. Located on Hwy. 101 in North Bend, Oregon USA.
With the new Forth Road Bridge opening today, it seemed like an opportunity to post these photos of part of the Forth Rail Bridge at North Queensferry, Scotland.

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.

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.

Scene captured during a day trip to the Waterloopbos in the Netherlands: close-up of the raw concrete shaping the Delta Works experimental setup in this open-air civil engineering laboratory.
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.
