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.
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 redevelopment and expansion of Reading Station. Taken from the walkway between the car park and the station and looking west.

McKean County, Pennsylvania
Completed 1882
The workforce consisted of less than 100 men, yet they finished construction in just 94 days. Such speed was possible due to the elimination of scaffolding. Instead, iron rods were used to support construction of the trusses between the towers, and workers moved back and forth across the rods. A dangerous venture, yet no workers were seriously injured.
The Kinzua Railway Viaduct, built by the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad, was an iron trestle bridge spanning the Kinzua Valley. It was a critical structure in facilitating the transport of coal from Northwestern Pennsylvania to the Eastern Great Lakes region, and is credited with causing an increase in coal mining that led to significant economic growth.
Upon completion, it was the highest and longest railroad bridge in the world. The rails were 301 feet above the valley, with a total length of 2,052 feet. The $275,000 viaduct required a record-breaking 3.5 million pounds of iron.
By 1900, railroad engines were nearly 85% heavier, exceeding the capacity of the iron structure; so a steel replacement bridge was built using the original foundations. Freight service over the bridge ceased in 1963, and the bridge and surrounding area were designated the Kinzua Bridge State Park. Today the bridge offers pedestrians and excursion trains an exceptional view of the Kinzua Valley.
Facts
- Twenty iron towers supported the roadbed.
- Six of the towers were higher than those of the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Each tower was composed of four wrought-iron columns.
- The bridge required 110 masonry piers.
- The bridge was 10 feet wide along the top, but the tallest of the towers spreads to 193 feet at the base, giving the structure considerable stability.

Lynchburg, Virginia
Completed 1870
The Fink Deck Truss Bridge is thought to have been originally used on the Norfolk and Western mainline railway. It was moved to its present location and converted to a vehicular bridge over a railroad spur in 1893 when the Norfolk and Western mainline was moved. It was relocated again in 1985 to Lynchburg's Riverside Park to serve as a pedestrian bridge.
As railroads expanded throughout the U.S. in the mid-19th century, engineers raced to design bridges that were stronger and longer, without adding too much weight. A number of truss systems were developed, including two patented designs by Albert Fink: the Fink Deck Truss, in which most of the supporting members were below the deck, and the Fink Through Truss , in which the truss members were above the deck.
The Fink Deck Truss Bridge in Lynchburg is the only survivor in the U.S. of this truss system that was widely used from 1854 to 1875. The patented truss bridge was a uniquely American structural engineering solution to the need for long-span railroad bridges to carry heavy loads. Important to the early days of railroading in America, the Fink truss bridges contributed significantly to the nation's growth and economy.
Facts
-The Fink Deck Truss Bridge, built circa 1870, is thought to have been originally used on the Norfolk &Western mainline. It was moved to its present location and converted to a vehicular bridge over a railroad spur in 1893 when the Norfolk and Western mainline was moved. It was relocated again in 1985 to Lynchburgs Riverside Park to serve as a pedestrian bridge.
- The truss consists of vertical and diagonal members (that are in tension) of wrought iron, while the top chord, supporting bents and floor systems, are of wood. The upper chord is untreated oak about 14 inches by 15 inches in size.
-Fink's truss configuration was used widely in railroad bridges, including large structures such as the Green River Bridge south of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and the 14th Street Bridge across the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky.
- Albert Fink and his brother, Henry, arrived in Baltimore, Maryland from Germany in 1849. He was initially employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as principal assistant to Benjamin Latrobe, along with Wendel Bollman, another notable bridge builder. The Fink truss was adopted by Latrobe for all bridges on the B&O Railroad and the Parkersburg Branch.
- Albert Fink served as President of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1880.

Campbell, Charge D' Affairs to the Kingdom of Cambodia, cut a ribbon celebrating the completion of an engineering civil action project at the Hun-Sen Krong Primary School. Sailors from the guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) primed and painted the school.
Not sure whether these are to do with the new depot, the new flyover (probably not - too far north), electrification (which is not actually part of the remodelling) or something else.

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.
