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.
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

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.

LOGAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- Blackened rubbery foam flies off an angle brush from a Tool Cat piloted by Senior Airman Jessie Rivera, 577th Expeditionary Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force Squadron, on a runway at Forward Operating Base Shank here June 5, 2013. Runway maintenance is a composite team built from many civil engineering backgrounds. Rivera, hailing from Denver, Colo., is an electrical power production technician by trade.

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.

Work continues on the "Smart" section of the biggest car park in the NorthWest of England. The M6 Motorway between Junction 16, (Crewe), and Junction 17, (Sandbach), Cheshire.
We'll see how smart it is after the first major incident following the opening of the section.
Extract from online media - “When the smart motorway goes live, drivers will benefit from an extra lane in each direction and variable speed limits will be used to keep traffic moving.”
Keep traffic moving? That will make a change then.
