The view from the top of the transporter bridge, looking towards the West. The bridge is one of three surviving in the UK and one of only a few left in the world, and is the largest (a claim also claimed for the one at Middlesbrough using different criteria). Now an 'exhibit' as part of Newport Museum, it is operational on certain days of the week from early Spring until late Summer.

Craigellachie, Scotland
Completed 1814
Telford's most beautiful iron bridge was built at Craigellachie in Scotland over the Spey, a turbulent mountain stream that furnished a magnificent setting.
David B. Steinman and Ruth Watson, Bridges and Their Builders.
This elegant cast iron arch bridge designed by Scotland's famous Thomas Telford was built from 1812 to 1814. It is the earliest surviving example of a portable lattice-braced standard type that Telford developed for use at wide and deep water crossing sites unsuitable for masonry spans. At least 10 of these bridge types were erected throughout Britain between 1814 and 1829.
Craigellachie Bridge demonstrates Telford's mastery of the use of iron for long span bridges. The light weight components were cast by ironfounder William Hazledine at his Plas Kynaston, Ruabon, Denbigshire foundry, transported by canal and sea to Speymouth thence by wagon to the site. The bridge consists of four spans three of which on the south-east approach are stone arches of 15 feet span each. The main 150 feet span is a lozenge lattice spandrel cast iron arch with a rise of 20 feet. The four lattice arch ribs are 2-1/2 inches thick and 3 feet deep each cast in seven pieces. The deck is of iron plate and 13-1/2 feet wide. Erection of the ironwork took place during the short period of August and September of 1814 under the supervision of Hazeldine's foreman William Stuttle. The general contractors for the project were John Simpson and John Cargill.
Craigellachie Bridge was in general use until 1964 when it was reconstructed above the arch ribs by W.W Lowson a partner of W.A. Fairhurst and Partners, Aberdeen. The bridge continued to be used by vehicles until 1972 when it was bypassed by a modern bridge downstream. It is now dedicated to pedestrian and cyclist traffic and maintained by the Moray Council as a significant historical site and tourist attraction.
Craigellachie Bridge stands today as testimony to the team of Telford, Hazledine, Simpson and Stuttle who with their diverse skills on many projects together significantly advanced the craft and science of bridge building in Britain.

Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Plaque

San Bernardino County Historic Civil Engineering Landmark
(in Shield: American Society of Civil Engineers, Founded 1852)
The masonry Arch Dam was the first to store Water for Irrigation in the East San Bernardino County. The Dam was planned and designed by Yale Graduate and Civil Engineer Frank E. Brown, who needed more water for his Citrus grove Land development projects. Bear Valley Granite Deposits were quarried, split and shaped, and set by about 8 Italian Stone Masons. After the dam was high enough to impound some water, stone was moved to the dam on rafts and lifted to the derricks. Mortar was made with Portland cement from England. At the time of construction it was the highest , boldest, most slender arch dam in the United States. The Dam still stands submerged about 100 feet east of the multiple arch dam.
The Multiple Arch Dam was built because the Bear Valley Mutual water company wanted to increase the storage capacity of the Reservoir. They Selected John S Eastwood to design and build a higher dam. Eastwood had already designed and built a similar dam at Hume Lake (East of Fresno) in 1909. his Dam increased the Bear Valley Reservoir capacity by 3000 Percent. The Multiple Arch design was very economical in use of Concrete. The Construction used Local Rock and Sand, and was well equipped for quarrying, crushing, mixing and transporting the aggregates, concrete and other materials. The Cement came from Riverside, California. The Highway across the dam was built in 1924. The dam Survived the 1918 and 1992 Earthquakes without damage. Retrofitting for earthquake resistance was completed in 1988.
Masonry Arch Dam Constructed 1884.

This is a 3D model of the Four Lane Ends Metro Interchange. It was taken from the ‘Ainsworth Spark Photo File.’ Compiled between the 8th of December 1975 to the 12th of May 1977 it consists of artist's impressions, tender drawings, photographs of 3 dimensional models and plans relating to various Metro projects. Ainsworth Spark were Newcastle based Architects.
The file is taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson collection, consulting civil engineers responsible from the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne Pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.

Great Falls, Virginia
Constructed between 1785 and 1802.
These canals and locks are a part of the first extensive system of canal and river navigation works undertaken in the United States. The idea for the canal was proposed by George Washington, when, as an engineer, surveyor and military emissary for Virginia, he saw the need for a trade route west beyond the Allegheny Mountains. In order to do create this route, it was necessary to try to tame the Potomac River which was a wild, unruly stream which only the hardiest of rivermen ever attempted. To this end, he successfully gained the approval of both the Virginia and Maryland legislatures to charter the Potowmack Canal Company in 1785. Washington served as first president of the company from 1785 to 1789. He resigned this position when he became President of the United States.
To tame the Potomac, they cleared the bed of its greatest obstructions; and, where insurmountable falls and rapids occurred, they bypassed them by building fringing canals. The greatest impediment to navigation of the Potomac was at Great Falls where the river plunges 76 feet downward on its course to tidewater. To overcome this impediment, a canal was devised that was three quarters of a mile length, a major part of its 76-foot descent was achieved in five sets of stone locks located at the lower end of the channel.
The five locks were each 100 feet long and walled with large blocks of handhewn Seneca sandstone. The total lift was 77 feet. Features of the works are considered outstanding for its time. They included butterfly valves in miter, or 45-degree angled, gates, contiguous locks and a separate supply basin for the larger capacity lower locks.
