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.
Like most other civil engineering students, Trevor Walker’s hectic schedule involves passing, playing and sometimes scrambling. His nimble mind and keen eye for detail prove handy for his college football career as well. In December 2009, the NCAA Big 12 Conference recognized his abilities in both the classroom and the field when they named him to its Academic All-Big 12 football team. A senior specializing in geotechnical engineering from Mt. Pleasant, Tex., Trevor qualified by maintaining a 3.20 or better grade point average and lettering in Longhorn football.

Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!
civil engineering has a long tradition in my family...this solution is typical for my grandpa and his brother ;-) Don't imitate, innovate.

Established 1817
In human progress within the present century there has been no greater marvel than the operations of the Coastal Survey...
- Harper's Monthly, March, 1879
The precise system of measurements provided today by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey originated with an act of Congress under the administration of Thomas Jefferson in 1807 that funded work on "an accurate chart" of America's coastal waters. Intended to aid sea-going commerce, the first work on this project, carried out in 1816 and 1817, helped establish a complex grid of geodetic reference points on which much of our land- and sea-based navigation now depends.
Directed by Swiss-born mathematician and astronomer Ferdinand Hassler, the measurements taken by the Coastal Survey, as it was then known, followed a plan of organization that continues to serve as the foundation for the activities of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey today. A key reference point located in the New Jersey township of Cranetown, used to map the harbor waters of New York City, was designated an Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1986 to honor the pioneering work of Ferdinand Hassler and the subsequent achievements of early American surveyors.
Facts
- The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey -- an agency of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration -- currently maintains a grid of more than 500,000 benchmarks across America identified by small bronze markers imbedded in stone or concrete.
- Ferdinand Hassler first learned the system he applied to American surveying as a student at the University of Bern, where he worked in 1790s with his mentor, mathematician Johann Georg Talles, on a geodetic survey of the Canton of Bern.
- Although the system of U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey reference points is considered invaluable by most civil engineers, not all builders rely on them. Surveyors laying out various stretches of the New Jersey Turnpike, for example, used inferior reference points outside the system. The result is a series of S-curves required to correct the highway's path.

Zanesville, Ohio
Completed 1841
Most of the locks were 184 feet long and 36 feet wide, able to handle boats up to 160 feet long. The sandstone locks (along with wood miter gates, rock-filled timber-crib dams and bypass canals with guard gates) created a slackwater navigation system stretching over 90 miles.
Southeastern Ohio's Muskingum River and its navigation system of 10 hand-operated locks dates from 1837 when area pioneers recognized the potential of the river as a shipping route for steam-powered vessels. The system of locks and dams permitted navigation upriver as far as the Ohio and Erie Canal at Dresden.
This was one of the earliest slackwater navigation systems built for steamboats in the U.S. The system included a three-mile, side-cut canal linking the Ohio and Erie Canal to the Muskingum at Dresden, with canal-boat-sized locks, a dam, and a 120-by-22-foot lock at Symmes Creek.
Commercial shipping flourished on the river for 70 years, but was replaced by rail and motorized transportation after the turn of the century. Today, it is mostly recreational boaters and anglers who use the hand-operated locks to navigate the river from a point just north of Zanesville to Marietta.
Facts
- Ohio began surveys for its canals in 1822, but politics and topographical issues precluded most of the Muskingum Valley from the initial phase of the development of the Ohio Canal System.
- Most of the locks were 184 feet long and 36 feet wide, able to handle boats up to 160 feet long. The sandstone locks (along with wood miter gates, rock-filled timber-crib dams and bypass canals with guard gates) created a slackwater navigation system stretching over 90 miles.
- The River Navigation System was rebuilt from 1880 to 1911 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and has been operated by the state since 1958.

Sometimes I like minimalism.
While I was taking a short photography-focused walk this past weekend along the Pine River, I came to this bridge (The Hoxeyville High Bridge) looked up, and saw a desktop wallpaper for those engineering times when I just want to have something heavily constructed on my computer.
It's all about the diagonals here.

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.
