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.

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.

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.

This new bridge carries Route 112 over Kearney Brook in Worthington. The project was completed at the end of August, 2012. . It would have taken approximately two years to replace this bridge using staged, cast-in-place construction methods. To accelerate construction, MassDOT used precast bridge materials and replaced the bridge during a 60-day road closure, completing all work in a single construction season. This is the first fully-precast bridge in MassDOT's District One Region. It has precast abutments on spread footings and a NEXT-F Beam superstructure with cast-in-place concrete deck.

Having posted a few new images of Lindley Reservoir today, I felt it would be remiss not to include some older ones (taken in August 2010) that got lost in the archives. This shot depicts the western face of the Victorian road bridge over Lindley Reservoir, which has suffered exceptionally low water levels on several occasions recently.
Its usual high water mark is evidenced by a dark line which can be seen around the level where the bridge's arches meet the columns. The River Washburn has largely disappeared in this stretch of the valley due to extensive reservoir coverage; but interestingly retains its old path - the ancient channel lies dormant underwater, waiting to emerge in times of drought. This effect is also seen in a rather dramatic fashion over at Thruscross Reservoir; where forgotten bridges of West End can still be seen leaping across the former river bed on the rare occasions when the excess waters disappear.
Bayonne, New Jersey, to Staten Island, New York
Completed 1931
As an engineering achievement in two-hinged, steel-arch building, the [Bayonne] Bridge is first notable for its great length, attaining at the same time a grace of outline hardly possible with any other type of structure.
- Engineering News Record, 1928
The longest steel-arch bridge in the world for 46 years, the Bayonne Bridge continues to be celebrated today as a major aesthetic and technical achievement. The 1,675-foot bridge replaced a ferry service which until then was the only means of crossing from the Bayonne peninsula to Staten Island. While providing this essential link in the transportation network of greater New York City, the bridge's mid-span clearance of 150 feet also allows for unobstructed navigation on Newark Bay, the main shipping channel to the inland ports of Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
The engineering achievements of the Bayonne Bridge include the first use of manganese steel for main structural elements, several advances in structural analysis, and an innovative system of falsework used in its construction. Its design is one of many in the New York City area representing the work of Othmar H. Ammann, whose majestic George Washington Bridge was opened less than a month earlier.
Facts
- The Bayonne Bridge has been widely recognized as an engineering work of great artistic accomplishment. The American Institute for Steel Construction awarded it a prize in 1931 for most beautiful steel-arch bridge, and The New York Times, in a later tribute, said "there is a symmetry and fineness of detail about the Bayonne Bridge that is impressive and almost haunting."
- The bridge's design is based in part on New York City's 1917 Hell Gate Bridge, on which Ommann worked as chief assistant to noted engineer Gustav Lindenthal. In its time, the Hell Gate Bridge, at 977 feet, was the longest steel-arch bridge in the world. The Bayonne Bridge surpassed it by nearly 70 percent, and remained the world's longest steel-arch bridge until the 1970 opening of the 1,700-foot New River Gorge Bridge at Fayetteville, West Virginia.
- The design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which opened in 1932 with a span shorter by only five feet, closely resembles that of the Bayonne Bridge. After the opening of the Bayonne Bridge, the golden shears used in its ribbon-cutting ceremony were sent to Australia for use at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, then dismantled so each country could keep one blade as an historic memento.
- Calculations of secondary stresses helped make the construction of a structure as large as the Bayonne Bridge possible. These had tended to be ignored in the design of earlier bridges and were later checked by extensometers on the actual structure. Design calculations also included compression tests on the largest columns of manganese steel ever made.
- Falsework secured on solid rock below the water was used in the Bayonne Bridge's construction to avoid the need for heavy anchorages and abutment towers in the bridge's design. The falsework towers were made of material that was later used in the bridge.

I was assigned a group shot of the Civil Engineering Dept. here at Missouri S&T by my editor at the yearbook. Instead of the typical, boring, ambient-lit group photo, I decided to spice it up a little bit. There are a couple things I wish I'd done differently, but a group this large gets fairly impatient fairly quickly, so all-in-all i'm happy with the results.
