This week-end, during 72 hours, workmen are setting the biggest single-piece concrete slab in the history of civil engineering. The slab is one of the two big "waves" of EPFL's new Rolex Learning Center, a project by SAANAA.
The previous record holders were... the same team with the first wave... :-)
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
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!
A group of civil engineering students from Oregon State University visited with some of our Oregon DOT engineers in Salem. One activity was building toothpick and gumdrop bridges.
Technology Clinic: Lafayette College students in interdisciplinary teams attack real-world problems posed by participating industries have been working with the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership on an urban ecology project for the last year. As the project winds down, they have scheduled two public workshops to share information with residents and get feedback. The first of two workshops on urban gardening and urban farming using storm water runoff was held on Tuesdays, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. in the Easton Area Community Center on the corner of South Ninth St. and Washington. The students offered rain barrels (described as “snazzy”) for sale at a 50% discount to help residents get started using rainwater for their gardens.
They have been studying storm water management and finding ways to reuse storm water runoff to mitigate storm water either flooding streams or swamping Easton’s combined sanitary and storm water system, and recharging the aquifer by allowing storm water to be absorbed by landscaping and trees. The students have been working with Tom Jones and Gary Bertsch at the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership and Profs. Dan Bauer and Larry Malinconico of Lafayette College: The students were Carol Murphy -11- Blue striped shirt, Hanna Pingry '10 - solid pink shirt, Brad Williams '10 - brown horizontal stripped shirt, and Sam Bloom '10 solid white shirt, Megan Feeney '12 - solid Black Shirt

Bah, would have to be in the middle of these Glenkiln pics, eh?
My graduation year for the Masters Degree in Civil Engineering at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. 7 years of Primary Education, 6 years of Secondary Education, and then 5 years of University Education. Now onwards, to our 45 years of employment :)
There's clearly something missing in this shot, and no, they're not setting up for an Eddie Kidd style bike jump (do people still do those?).
This is a bloody tricky civil engineering project. The Churchill Way flyovers in the City Centre are sick and crumbling and they need to come down. They're not going to be replaced, and that's a whole other story, but that can wait.
The tricky thing is that they span some major roads and junctions which just can't be closed for months.
Instead, the engineers are working nights and weekends to cut the flyover into sections which are lowered on jacks to the ground and then relocated to a very close site to be chipped. It's quite a clever solution, and whilst I shudder to think what it's costing we don't have a choice. Let's hope it's all over soon.

The photograph documents the construction of the New Bridge, facing Bede Industrial estate. It was taken some time between the 15th October 1981 to the 10 August 1982.
The images are taken from a collection of black and white contact prints. The images document the development of the whole of the Metro system in South Tyneside.
The images are 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.
The photographers were Milbanke and Proudlock Fotographics Ltd.

Lowell, Massachusetts
Constructed 1823-1880
Much of the sophisticated system of canals, dams, gates, and tunnels built to manage water power in 19th-century Lowell is preserved today as the basis of the Lowell National Historical Park and the Lowell Heritage State Park. Pictured above is the Boott Penstock, an early channel adjacent to the Boott Mills (right).
The central part of the city of Lowell, Massachusetts-located on the Merrimack River just south of the New Hampshire border - was built almost entirely upon the industrial innovations of the 19th century, relying exclusively on waterpower for textile-mill production. Between 1823 and 1880 in Lowell, the dynamic application of waterpower was developed, studied intensively, and improved upon to an extent unknown anywhere else in the world.
Lowell's nearly six-mile canal system grew gradually, beginning with a shallow transportation canal in 1796 used for power only by a few small textile mills. In 1823, a group of investors began the more ambitious construction of a two-level canal system, which eventually powered more than two dozen large mills. A major building effort in the late 1840s expanded Lowell's available waterpower by another 50 percent, enough to drive 10 major mill complexes. In the 1880s, Lowell's economy began to falter when electricity supplanted waterpower as the preferred power source of American industry.
Facts
- The most sophisticated improvements at Lowell in the application of waterpower are largely attributable to supervising engineer James B. Francis, hired in 1837 at the age of 22. Francis established his reputation with a series of 92 experiments on water flow and turbine efficiency conducted in 1851 and later published in Lowell Hydraulic Experiments, a landmark text.
- The experiments Francis carried out were instrumental in moving the practice of American engineering from a theoretical art toward being an applied science, and the turbine design he developed at Lowell is still in use in hydroelectric plants around the world. In 1881, he served as president of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
- Another contributor of innovations in the use of waterpower at Lowell was Uriah Boyden, an inventor and engineer. Boyden developed a highly efficient water turbine used in many of the Lowell mills beginning in the mid-1840s. He also invented the first hook gauge used to accurately measure water flow, a device patented by Boyden and employed extensively by Francis in his 1851 experiments.
- Much of the sophisticated system of canals, dams, gates, and tunnels built to manage water power in 19th-century Lowell is preserved today as the basis of the Lowell National Historical Park and the Lowell Heritage State Park.

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!
Working on steelwork can be dangerous so the use of safety equipment like this fall restraint harness is essential
This is a Tender Drawing of the Regent Centre Metro Station. 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.
