This is a well laid out argument, by Nadia Sabeh PhD, PE, LEED AP , for why having a project manager (client side) who speaks the languages of cultivation, engineering, & finance, is so critical. More often than not the person in charge of the project is unqualified or it’s is unclear who actually holds ultimate responsibility. This is why most run over time and over budget. Ending up with cultivation facilities that will never operate at 100%. The common place failure of the last 10% of the project, coordination, commissioning, etc., started at the project kick-off.

Effect of Glass Wastes on Basic Characteristics of Controlled Low-Strength Materials https://lnkd.in/dMfidWyb Abstract The harnessing of glass waste, which is slow to decompose and has high recycling costs, is in the interest of supporting and stimulating a balanced construction pattern that is interdependent on the living environment. Consumable food and drink bottles are one of these forms of waste that can be calibrated to meet desired specifications. Controlled low-strength materials with low and deliberate strength for future excavation have highly desirable rheological properties, active hardening, and zero or rare separation of materials can be maintained with waste glass substitution. In this study, an experimental evaluation was commenced to estimate the practicality of waste glass (fine and coarse powder) by replacing fly ash and natural sand with it to control low-strength materials. A sum of seven slurry blends was intended by employing several ratios (10%, 30%, and 50%) of fine and coarser waste glass. Some characteristics of plasticity and hardness were observed, such as fine glass decreased flowability. In contrast, coarser glass decreased dramatically, exceeding the minimum limit of 20%, which necessitated the use of superplasticizer in a proportion that corresponds to the increase in the replacement. Unit weight slightly increased with fine glass substitution, but in the Coarser substitution, a steady decrease occurred. The compressive strength of 28 days in fine glass replacement is less than the reference mixture, but it exceeded it at 90 days. A mixture incorporating coarse waste glass was higher at 28 days and developed at 90 days. Highlights: • The ability to use recycled glass as a substitute to fly ash and sand. • The effect of waste glass percentages on plasticity and the mechanical properties of controlled-low strength materials. • The possibility of producing sustainable, controlled, low-strength materials of excavatable and structural flowable fill by using recycled fine and coarse recycled glass. Keywords: • controlled low-strength materials • coarse waste glass • fine waste glass • pozzolanic reaction • wet density • flowability Journal: https://lnkd.in/dgnvtdte Issue: https://lnkd.in/dtwJFe78 Article: https://lnkd.in/dgp8GH3g ETJ LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/d_8SPqAt #Engineering_and_Technology_Journal #UOT #engineering #technology #etj

Kudos to the resilient 15% who navigated the murky waters of this week's GWES Engineering Trivia! It was a tough one, but you didn't let the question go down the drain. This week’s question was: In terms of capacity, both during dry and wet weather, where is the world's largest wastewater treatment plant located? A) Chicago, USA B) Montreal, Canada C) Tokyo, Japan D) London, UK Engineering Survey Says… B) Montreal, Canada The Jean-R.-Marcotte Wastewater Treatment Plant in Montreal has a substantial total capacity for wastewater treatment. It can handle 2.78 million cubic meters per day under normal (dry weather) conditions, and this capacity significantly increases to 7.6 million cubic meters per day under wet weather conditions. This exceptional capacity highlights the plant's critical role in efficiently managing the city's wastewater, especially during varying weather conditions. For more details, visit the following page on the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world: https://lnkd.in/dgQaQ4b2 Stay tuned for more trivia about significant engineering projects next week! Don’t forget to use the hashtags to share your knowledge and challenge your colleagues. Explore the vital role of civil engineering in environmental sustainability!

Information from a new report commissioned by EngineeringUK found that demand for engineers is expected to rise faster than for any other occupations, with vacancies for green roles rising by more than half (55%) in the last five years. Our latest Engineering by Murray insights article looks at how demand for engineers is skyrocketing as a result of the growth in the number of green projects in the UK.

Green Engineering: The Solution to Environmental Hazards In this write up we will be considering Green Engineering which entails what it is, how comes such engineering and why is it important. Join me on this voyage as we delve into the field of Green Engineering. First, you light be wondering what Green Engineering is. Green engineering utilizes engineering processes and methods that minimize pollution, improve a business' sustainability and decrease the potential for health issues caused by unsafe manufacturing and design methods. This is termed as the Engineering of the future. Indeed, its crucial one has an understanding of what it is to help in creating the Green environment we all dream of, which is one free from every form environmental hazard. Now, having understood what it is. How come such an engineering is what's next. From the above paragraph we have understood what it is and what issues it addresses. This leads us to how it came to be. The issue of environmental hazard required a solution to it because of its harm to people and the environment. This brought about the need for green engineering. As it is said; necessity is mother of all inventions. Having considered the above, it is key to know the importance that green engineering contributes to the society. This could also be known as the benefit. Here are several benefits that a company may experience after implementing green engineering practices: • Waste reduction • Materials management • Pollution prevention • Product enhancement • Improves a company's reputation • Minimizes energy or production waste • Provides tax incentives • Helps global environment This field of engineering has led to the development of materials that has helped to achieve the goals of green engineering such materials include; biodegradable cups and straws, Enhanced industrial emission filters, Wastewater treatment, Radiant floors and Plant-based cooling. These and many more inventions are still unfolding. This field of engineering really looks promising in the sense of its peculiar contributions to humanity and the environment.
