What does cellular concrete have to do with traffic? In City of Corona's case, the answer will soon be NOTHING, as cellular concrete is placed as part of the grade separation project that will alleviate traffic congestion. Call Tyler Bodnar to learn more.

I just completed John Holland Australia's Civil Engineering job simulation on Forage. It was a great opportunity to get some experience about civil engineering works in Australia. This was my first job simulation, and I am excited to participate in more in the future. This one, in particular was provided by Forage is completely free. In this job simulation I completed the following tasks: 1. Completed a job simulation working across a range of construction tasks including a new bridge, high-rise, and rail. 2. Calculated the volumes of concrete for pile caps and abutments for a bridge and compared subcontractor rates. 3. Compared two building drawings to identify differences and arranged tasks in the correct sequencing order.

geotechnical design

𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! Back in January, a piling rig accidentally pierced the ceiling of a metro tunnel in Istanbul... It was working near an underground line connecting Istanbul's central Mecidiyekoy district to the airport. This lead to power outage on the track which meant that metro trains were grounded. John Chick, chair of the Federation of Piling Specialists stated: “The site investigation must be extensive, with a major desk study to search historic sub-surface records for the site, as well as current service and infrastructure drawings from known asset owners,” The article also states that "cost and time pressures sometimes mean that searches in advance of construction work may not be carried out accurately"... Due to the nature of underground construction work, there is always an element of risk. It's crucial that we operate in a cautious and precise way. Keen to hear any thoughts on this? #siteinvestigation #piling #deepfoundations #geotechnicalengineering #metricgeo

Good opportunity

Happy Engineer's Day! Today, let's shine a light on a specialized group of engineers who build beneath our feet: underground construction engineers! From intricate subway tunnels and expansive caverns to life-sustaining water pipelines, underground construction engineers design and oversee the creation of essential infrastructure hidden from sight. Here's why underground construction engineers are crucial: Masters of the Subsurface: They possess a deep understanding of soil mechanics, rock formations, and excavation techniques to ensure safe and efficient construction. Innovation at Work: They develop creative solutions to navigate complex underground environments, often utilizing cutting-edge technologies. Building the Backbone: Their work is vital for urban development, transportation networks, and vital utilities. Let's celebrate the ingenuity and dedication of underground construction engineers on this Engineer's Day! #EngineersDay #UndergroundEngineers #TunnelVisionaries #SRC #BuildingTheInvisible #InnovationBelow

Tunnel excavation using road headers is widespread and popular due to the high precision and relative cost-effectiveness of mobilizing the equipment and especially when dealing with soft to medium strength rock! #civilengineering #engineering

Great capture for #tunneling drilling in medium to weak rock using road header machine.

The Road Ahead! A Geotechnical Engineer's Perspective Roads are the backbone of our transportation networks, playing a crucial role in economic development and social connection. But have you ever wondered about the unseen heroes ensuring their stability and longevity? As a Geotechnical Engineer specializing in road construction, I collaborate with teams to assess soil properties, design foundations for stability, and contribute to durable pavement design. From conducting field and laboratory tests to analyzing data and preparing reports, the process requires a blend of technical expertise and problem-solving skills. This week, I'd like to spark a discussion: What are some of the biggest challenges faced in road construction from a geotechnical perspective? What innovative solutions are emerging in the field?
