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.

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.

Starting to pour concrete for the Naples canopy today and here is part of the concrete gang ready with their wheelbarrows to start humping round the concrete to the part of the beam that it's needed.
Luckily for them though the crane already had the skip fitted and so they didn't need to lump any round... plenty of concrete through the week to shift so it's a temporary repreive.

Port Huron, Michigan to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
Constructed 1888-1891
A Day's Pay According to tunnel records, the following pay rates were established for the 600-700 laborers required for this project:
17.5 cents per hour for diggers
15 cents per hour for erectors
12.5 cents per hour for others
One additional dollar per day for working in compressed air
The St. Clair River Tunnel provided an efficient connection between eastern Canada and the U.S. railroads serving the plains states. Before the tunnel was built, east- and west-bound rail traffic had to detour south of the Great Lakes in a large circle route, or else rely upon ferry transfer of cargo.
Prior to the tunnel's completion, a railroad had never been able to pass beneath a river. Until the early 19th century, the construction of tunnels in soft ground under rivers was completely impractical. This changed with the introduction of the tunneling shield, the function of which was to support the ground while the lining was constructed. The rectangular iron shield was pushed ahead into the ground by screw jacks bearing on the cast iron lining behind the shield. Compressed air was used to reduce water and material inflows during tunneling. Two airlocks were constructed in each bulkhead to allow men and materials to pass through.
Facts
The St. Clair and Detroit Rivers, together with Lake St. Clair, form the border between southwestern Ontario and Michigan. Throughout the length of this border the watercourses are wide and deep. Difficult foundation conditions and the navigational hazard posed by a bridge made the idea of a tunnel more attractive. A tunnel was also considered a more economical choice at that time.

Lamp standard by the Lion Foundry, Kirkintilloch.
Originally founded by former staff from the Saracen Foundry in 1880, initially under the name of Jackson, Brown, Hudson and Cuthbert. Changing the name to the Lion Foundry in 1885, the company produced a wide variety of decorative and functional cast-iron until 1984. They are probably best known for the iconic red telephone boxes and postboxes which were made there.

Paris, France
Established 1747
Inventions credited to the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chausses and its graduates include: prestressed concrete, lighting gas, and the optical lens. The school and its graduates also have been central to research in the diffraction of light, the applications of concrete, and the measurement of the strength of materials.
Responsible for the birth of many technological innovations and the education of at least one president of the French Republic and a Nobel Prize winner, the Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees is generally considered to be the first formal engineering school in the world. With more than 1,000 full-time students and 800 full- and part-time faculty members, the school today remains a vital source of engineering research and education, with a host of graduate-degree options and collaborative programs in Spain, Germany, Italy, and other countries.
In contrast to the 18th-century British tradition, wherein members of the trades and professions received their educations primarily through a system of apprenticeships, the French believed in the establishment of formal training schools, where a standard curriculum based on fundamental disciplines would be taught. It was this approach to engineering education that provided the model and inspiration to those who established formal training for American engineers at the United States Military Academy at West Point in the early 19th century.
Facts
- The Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees was first established informally in 1744 as a unit of the Corps des Ponts et Chaussies, a department of the French national government created in 1716 to supervise the building of all major roads and bridges and to oversee a national plan of highways.
- The development of the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussies was initially guided by Daniel-Charles Trudaine, who was named finance minister of France in 1743, and later supported by his son, who followed him in office. It was under Daniel-Charles Trudaine's administration that many of France's most famous stone bridges were built.
- As his chief technical advisor in the Corps des Ponts et Chaussies and the first director of the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussies, Trudaine chose Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, who later served as chief engineer of the Corps for more than 30 years. Perronet was responsible for many well known stone-arch bridges in France, including the Pont Neuilly in Paris, replaced in 1956, and the Pont de la Concorde in Paris, widened to accommodate modern traffic and still in use today on the River Seine.
- Inventions credited to the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussies and its graduates include: prestressed concrete, lighting gas, and the optical lens. The school and its graduates also have been central to research in the diffraction of light, the applications of concrete, and the measurement of the strength of materials.
- Among the school's renowned graduates are Marie-Frangois-Sadi Carnot, president of France from 1887 to 1894, and Antoine-Henri Becquerel, who shared the Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie in 1903.
