Memphis, Tennessee
Constructed from 1888 to 1892
The Memphis Bridge (now called the Frisco Bridge) comprises three spans across the Mississippi River. With a main span measuring over 790 feet, it was one of the longest railroad bridges in the world upon completion. The renowned George Morison, after whom the bridge is unofficially named, served as Chief Engineer.
The bridge was built entirely of open-hearth steel, a newly developed material at the time. Though the Bessemer process had revolutionized the steel industry after the Civil War by enabling mass production of rail-quality steel, inherent phosphorous impurities rendered it unsuitable for structural shapes that needed tensile strength. The open-hearth process, on the other hand, produced a superior steel perfectly suited for structural shapes like bridges and tall buildings.
Facts
This steel cantilever truss structure features a 790-foot main span and two additional 600-foot spans. Its 65-foot height above the water was the greatest clearance of any U.S. bridge of that era.
Deep caisson pier construction drove the first channel pier nearly 100 feet below the water's surface.
When automobiles became common in the 1930s, two cantilevered roadways were added to the bridge, one on each side of the railway. They remained in use until a new highway bridge was built in the early 1950s.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) New Student Residence Hall was designed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc.
www.gmcnetwork.com/markets/education/higher-education/
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood provided all of the architecture, interior design, civil engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture for this project.
With enrollment at a record high for the fifth consecutive year, The University of Alabama at Birmingham initiated the construction of a New Student Residence Hall to accommodate the increased demand for on-campus housing. The 215,000 square-foot residence hall is located in the heart of UAB’s urban campus.
Approximately 714 students live in the new U-shaped facility comprised of an eight-story tower and four-story wing that includes student common areas on every floor and flexible multi-purpose space. The 8 story tower provides the density of housing required for this urban residence hall to meet demand while the 4-story wing helps the building relate in scale to it’s neighboring buildings on campus without overshadowing them. Together they create a dedicated green space for residents with seating walls, a shaded pergola, picnic tables, concrete table tennis for recreation, and wooden seating boxes which conceal storm drainage inlets.
The atrium lobby provides access from both sides of the sloped site and includes large stairway commons, and a custom dragon scale chandelier to emulate the UAB Blazers mascot.
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.
This shot shows the Central Portion of the Falsework; namely the pre-assembled 'goalpost' frame units that are crane handled into place onto the bridge, probably in groups of frames.
This assembly will match the length of the 'hanger platform' assembly that is bolted onto the ends of the 'goalposts' to create, for each 'goalpost' and 'headbeam', a Full Moment Connection.

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 UK's longest road tunnel and a new section of dual carriageway on the A3 near Hindhead in Surrey.
It was a cold and foggy morning on January 19, 2013. The frosted and chilly air gave way for little, save the thirty-four-hundred-ton Sellwood Bridge as it crept over thirty-three feet in fourteen hours in a feat of civil engineering glory. Nudging the old bridge aside makes room for a new bridge to be constructed in its place. The facts speak to urban progress, while the images tell a story of folks from the neighborhood looking for a spectacle, but getting something slightly more subtle. The best part of it all was the helpful feller with a binderful of printouts roaming around the crowd eager to share the historical context of the thing. I never got his name, but he was quite an effective liaison between our modern confusion and the relative certainty of days gone past. He deserved a hearty handshake for his efforts. Read more details over at sellwoodbridge.org. There’s even a timelapse video.
No sweat...
P.S. Aps.. good news, I was able to retrieve the Japan Pics and Videos :D If I have time i'll edit them ASAP :D

Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.

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.
