Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.

I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!

With the bulk of the A40 looming ominously overhead, DB Schenker no. 66087 is attached to an engineering train on the GWML west of Paddington.
Platforms 5 and 6 at Edinburgh Waverley are being reinstated and extended to 275m so that they can accommodate the new Azuma trains being commissioned by LNER in 2019. This view looks eastwards towards the Calton Tunnels with Platform 5 appearing on the left and platform 6 on the right. The picture was taken from the overhead walkway across the station to which the extended platforms will now approach, taking up the space once occupied by the now closed taxi rank. The new platforms should be commissioned sometime in 2019.

Zoom shot shows what appears to be a dredging or drilling barge. The canal has been closed since a landslide in 2021; it is scheduled to reopen in June of this year.
This nineteenth-century engineering marvel never turned a profit. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) long and only 25 metres (81 feet) wide at sea level, making it impassable for many modern ships. It is currently of little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction.
A canal through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth that separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland was proposed as early as the 7th century BCE. At that time Corinth settled for a cheaper, simpler solution: a stone carriageway along which boats could be portaged. Roman emperors starting with Julius Caesar also expressed interest in a canal, and Nero began actual construction, breaking ground with his own hands in 67 CE. The workforce consisted of 60,000 Judean captives. But they had dug only about a tenth of the distance before Nero died and Rome lost interest.
The modern attempt began in 1882, after Greek independence from the Ottomans. It took 11 years to complete, bankrupting two construction companies, the owner of the second, and the bank that backed it.
Even after completion, the canal was underutilized. The limestone walls were unstable, being undermined by ships' wakes and collapsing into the canal. The narrow waterway was difficult for ships to navigate, and strong tidal currents arose as a result of differences in the timing of tides in the Ionian and Aegean seas. The high walls also funneled winds. As a result, demand for its use by ships was only a fraction of what had been predicted.
The canal suffered heavy damage in WWII. The retreating British blew the bridge rather than allow it to be taken by the Germans. Then the retreating Germans used explosives to trigger landslides to block the canal, destroyed the rebuilt bridges and dumped locomotives, bridge wreckage and other infrastructure into the canal to hinder repairs. The United States Army Corps of Engineers began to clear the canal in November 1947 and had it reopened at full draft in about a year.

The opening is to be filled with concrete precast segments with use of the blue gantry crane. The other side (North Side) of the bridge is completed. The deck that I was standing on is pretty much completed too, the middle was still empty! Installation of precast segments would take 3 weeks to 2 months each!

"The majestic Forth Bridge ... symbolises the tremendous achievements of Victorian engineers and the immense strides made in the technique of bridge design and construction since the dawn of the Railway Age..."
- Derrick Bennett, Bridges: Great Buildings of the World
Throughout the 19th century, several proposals were made to reduce travel time from Edinburgh and southeastern England to the northern cities of Scotland by building a railroad bridge across the expansive mouth of the Forth River. The first attempt, by Thomas Bouch, was abandoned when his previous project, the Tay Bridge, collapsed in 1879. The unique double-cantilever design eventually used was proposed by Benjamin Baker, who had designed the first underground railways in England and later would become the youngest president in history of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the British counterpart to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
More than a mile-and-a-half long, the Forth Bridge was the longest bridge in the world when it was built, easily surpassing the Brooklyn Bridge. The Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII, presided at the bridge's opening ceremony, driving home the last of eight million rivets, specially cast in gold and inscribed to record the event.
Facts
- Construction on the Forth Bridge, which began in 1883, required the labor of 5,000 men working day and night, consumed more than 50,000 tons of steel, and cost more than #3 million, or $15 million.
- The total length of the bridge exceeds 1 1/2 miles, with each of the two main spans measuring 1,700 feet. The bridge's columns rise 330 feet and allow a shipping clearance of 150 feet.
- Painting the bridge's 45 acres of steel surfaces began immediately after it was erected and has continued in an uninterrupted cycle to the present day, using paint produced by a single manufacturer.
- The Forth Railway Bridge remains in regular use today, carrying two tracks of the North British Railway between South Queensferry and North Queensferry. It has been joined by the Forth Road Bridge, opened in 1964, which carries automobile traffic.

The Sears Tower from ground level.
I consider this the tallest habitable building in the world, measured from the ground to the topmost part of its Antenna. Following closely at 2nd is Taipei 101, and 3rd Petronas Twin towers. On some technical rules, it is just the 3rd tallest without counting its antenna as part of its height. But aside from being the tallest to its maximum antenna height, this building is the largest among the three tallest.
Other facts: Total height is 527 meters, 110 floors. Its antenna get hit by lightning at a yearly average of more than 600 times.
