The 66th Civil Engineering Division worked to plow roads, parking lots, and sidewalks during and after a snow storm that impacted the region.
Although the branch-proper of the Wye Valley Railway (WVR) began at Wye Valley Junction, I include the following photos of the railway around Chepstow for posterity, for naturally trains ran into or through Chepstow to terminate. Seen from Beachley Lane overbridge (ST540941), view SW from England into Wales, Gloucestershire into Monmouthshire, of the South Wales Main Line, and the A48 bypass bridge which, I believe, opened in 1987. Previously all traffic went via Tutshill and over the old 1816 bridge into Chepstow. The rail bridge to the left is the 1962 remodelling of Brunel's famous (if rather ugly) 1852 tubular suspension bridge, a design he adapted for the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash. The piers are the original. Apparently, the bed of the road bridge is one continuous slab of concrete!
464-466 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD, site of the Collins House project.
Soon to be a 195-metre high tower, 12 metres wide, of more than 260 apartments over 57 (60) floors.
Completion date given is 2018.
Fun for the engineers.
They did well with the construction by Equiset in 2012 of the ultra-thin Phoenix building - the Blue Squiggle building (my term) - at 82 Flinders Street, just 6.7 metres wide, about 24 metres deep and 130 metres high, regarded at the time as being "on the edge of structural stability", to quote Walking Melbourne.
The view here is from St James Lane to the original Collins Street façade, which is to be retained, and enhanced.
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 City of Hoover has seen enormous growth in its sports programs over the past 10 years and needed a new complex that would fulfill their existing needs, allow for growth and give the City the ability to create new revenue streams and take advantage of sports tourism by hosting large tournament events. Hoover had not built any new athletic facilities in 15 years. At the same time the City’s sports participation had increased by multiples of 200% - 500% depending on the sport. The growth was caused by increases in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as the relatively recent popularity of additional sports.
The multi-purpose Finley Center, which connects to the existing Hoover Met baseball stadium with a covered walkway, is able to accommodate a full-size football or soccer field, nine regulation-size basketball courts, 12 regulation-size volleyball courts or six indoor tennis courts. It can also seat 2,400 for banquets and 5,000 for events with general seating, such as a graduation ceremony or concert. Additional features of the indoor facility include a recreational walking track suspended 14 feet in the air, an athletic training and rehab center, and a food court.
The Finley Center sits on a 120 acre site that GMC master planned and includes fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball, tennis courts, a play ground walking track and splash pad.
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood (GMC) provided master planning, architecture, interior design, civil engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental engineering services for this project.

This is an artists impression of the Regent Centre 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.

Marble plaque to commemorate the completion of the Happy Valley Waterworks (H.V.W.W.) consisting of the construction of the Clarendon Weir, Clarendon Weir to Happy Valley Pipeline and Happy Valley Reservoir in 1896. HV Reservoir was constructed by building a dam across the Field River and the Clarendon Weir by building a weir across the Onkaparinga River. The CW to HV Pipeline project includes an underground inlet tunnel 5 km in length and 3 m in diameter through the westernmost range of the Southern Mount Lofty Ranges. This tunnel is considered a 'milestone in constructional challenges and advancement' by Heritage Australia.
The HV Reservoir was constructed on the site of a small rural town, Happy Valley, which was rebuilt some 4 km east of its original location. The cemetery and school were also relocated. Since 1962, the HV Reservoir has also been serviced by the Myponga to Happy Valley pipeline.
Mount Bold Reservoir, SA's largest reservoir, was built on the Onkaparinga River upstream of the Clarendon Weir in 1937. In 1973 the Murray Bridge to Onkaparinga River Pipeline was completed to transport water from the River Murray to the Onkaparinga.
Today, except for a small trickle, the entire water capacity of the Onkaparinga River is diverted to the HV Reservoir, placing severe stress on the fish habitat and ecosystem downstream including in the Onkaparinga River National Park through high levels of salinity and siltation.
The inscription on the plaque reads:
H. V. W. W.
1896
Carter Gummow & Co.
Contractors
Hon. J. G. Jenkins
Commissioner of Waterworks
The plaque's preservation is probably due to its well hidden location behind high SA Water fine-mesh fencing where the pipeline enters the underground tunnel. (The plaque is on a slope and I had to balance on the edge of the fencing which is too fine to grip, so frame, climb, balance, click, jump for each attempt... My assistant thought I was very silly ;-)
Carter Gummow & Co. was founded by Frank Moorhouse Gummow and participated in the following water engineering projects:
Annandale Sewer Aqueducts over Johnston's Creek and White's Creek, Annandale, Sydney NSW, 1896
Morell Bridge over the Yarra River in South Yarra, Melbourne VIC, 1899
North Richmond Bridge over the Hawkesbury River at North Richmond, NSW, 1905
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.
