NEW LONDON, Conn. - First Class Cadet Nathanael F. Crum, a civil engineering major at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, poses for a photo in a design lab at the academy here Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Crum was placed on the the 2011 spring semester Board of Trustees Honors List, the most prestigious honors list at the academy. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Timothy Tamargo
Reilly Contractors project for our client involved the extension of an existing sewer main to service a newly created subdivision.
Troy, New York was the wellspring of America's industrial revolution. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was the first, best engineering school in the country in the early 1800s.
Here we see West Hall to the right, which serves as the westmost facade of RPI's campus on the hill above Troy. Behind us the slope drops a few more blocks to downtown.
Notice the absurd street design. Civil engineers have chosen to place a marked pedestrian crosswalk so that it leads to a grass berm. Perhaps this was a response to ADA requirements? It's silly to avoid the staircase, though, because the grass slope is no easier to mount in a wheelchair.
Waynesboro, Virginia
Completed 1858
The railroad system is the triumph of the age. The ultimate effects of its introduction are incalculable ....
- Claudius Crozet, in an address to Virginia legislators, late 1820s
One of four single-track tunnels built by the Blue Ridge Railroad, the 4,273-foot Crozet Tunnel was constructed at a time when hand drills, pickaxes, and black powder amounted to state-of-the-art tunneling technology. At the time of its completion, it was the longest railroad tunnel in the world. Envisioned and built by Claudius Crozet, a French-born educator and civil engineer, the tunnel remains a testament to his belief in advancing rail transportation even when faced with numerous difficulties.
In the nearly 10 years required to build the tunnel, Crozet was forced to deal with fighting between laborers, a cholera outbreak, a national financial crisis, and persistent personal criticism. Overseeing work crews boring from each end, Crozet encountered hard rock, frequent rock slides, unusually heavy winter snows, and problems with ventilation and drainage that adversely affected working conditions. To honor Crozet's accomplishment, a nearby town was named after him.
Facts
- Located at the junction of I-64, U.S. 250 and the Blue Ridge Parkway, in an area known locally as Rockfish Gap, the Crozet Tunnel was replaced by a new railroad tunnel with a larger bore in 1944 and is no longer in use.
- The 17-mile Blue Ridge Railroad -- purchased by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in 1869 -- was created by the state of Virginia to provide a rail link across the Appalachian mountains and help establish the first rail connection between Virginia seaports and the Ohio Valley.
- Having determined that intermediate, vertical shafts would not be practical, Crozet faced the problem of ventilating noxious black-powder fumes during construction, at least until the tunnel borings met. He devised an exhaust system in which inverted tubs trapped the fumes and, after being submersed in water, expelled them into a network of pipes and valves.
- To deal with drainage, he connected hand- and horse-powered pumps to a 2,000-foot length of three-inch cast iron pipe which discharged 60 gallons a minute and is believed to be the longest siphon on record.
- During construction, Crozet faced continued professional and personal criticism. As digging progressed, for example, bets were placed on whether or not the tunnels bored by each of his crews along a curved path would actually meet. When the crews finally "holed through" on Christmas Day, 1856, not only did the tunnels meet exactly, but Crozet's calculations were found to be so precise that only one-half-inch separated their alignment.

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.

The Coastal Carolina University Softball and Baseball Complex project by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood consists of demolition and replacement of the current stadium in an effort to achieve the Chanticleer program’s goal of providing top-rate facilities for student athletes that emulate the “Coastal” feeling.
Improvements include new team facilities, recessed dugouts, 2,500-spectator seating capacity, restrooms, full-service concessions, novelty sales area, press box with work space for media personnel, premium box and suite areas, clubhouse and locker room for athletes along with coaches and umpires and potential upgrades to the lights, scoreboard and existing landscape.
This facility was designed in collaboration with Populous.

Former skeptics became ardent enthusiasts as WES rapidly pushed back the frontiers of both applied and theoretical hydraulics research.
- Larry Carruth Chairman, History & Heritage Committee, ASCE Mississippi Section, 1986
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was created as a result of the tragedy of the 1927 Mississippi River flood, one of the most horrific floods in American history. The devastation affected seven states, but Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas were hardest hit. Over 16 million acres were flooded, 162,000 homes damaged, and 9,000 homes completely destroyed.
Congress established the WES in 1929 to provide research support for the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project, a vast flood control plan for the entire lower Mississippi valley. Even during its fledgling years, however, the organization began to fundamentally transform hydraulics research in the U.S.
The WES laboratory complex has grown into the principle research, testing, and development facility of the Corps of Engineers. The complex of five laboratories supports in-depth studies of coastal engineering, dredging, earthquake engineering, geology, weapons effects, soil and rock mechanics, and more.
Facts
- Before WES, rivers and harbors work was based on field data and experience. No use was made of model experiments employing the principles of hydraulics. By the mid 1930s, the laboratory's reputation as a major research center had been affirmed and small-scale hydraulics research was firmly established as an important part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' civil works program.
- Another way that the WES has made significant contributions to the civil engineering profession is through the publication and distribution of over 3,000 research reports. In addition, principles, practices, and techniques developed in the WES laboratories have resulted in countless advancements in the planning, construction, and maintenance of the nation's water transportation infrastructure.
