Happy Saturday Morning, On this cloudy and cold Northern California morning for unknown reasons I started thinking about the Mackinaw Bridge. I grew up 240 miles south of the Mighty Mac in the small farming town of Holly Michigan. Michiganders my age grew up with the bridge, it seemed like Mighty Mac was always there. My friends and classmates never gave much thought to the engineering masterpiece that is the Mackinaw bridge. The Mighty Mac is the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere with 7400 feet of roadway suspended in the air over the straits of Mackinaw. The total length is just under 27,000' or 5 miles and is 552' high. The chief engineer for the Mackinac Bridge was David B. Steinman. This project was not easy, it produced over 4000 engineering drawings and 85,000 blueprints. The bridge took 48 months to build by over 3500 skilled workers. Sadly 5 workers died in the effort. Finally on November 1, 1957 the bridge opened for traffic. On January 1, 2024 I declared to my team that 2024 was the year of the partnership. I've learned that success in this industry is about building bridges - between partners, between businesses, and between opportunities. It's about creating connections that facilitate growth and enable progress. Just like the Mackinaw Bridge, my journey has had its fair share of challenges. From starting out moving furniture at Corrigan Moving Systems in Auburn Hills Michigan to becoming the Vice President of Chipman Relocation in Sacramento California, it's been a road marked by hard work, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of growth. But every challenge has been an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to build stronger bridges. And I've been fortunate to have a strong support system along the way - my wife of 33 years, my four daughters, and my unwavering love for the industry. So, let's continue to build these bridges together. Let's connect, collaborate, and create opportunities for growth. Because together, we can achieve more. If my journey resonates with you, feel free to like, comment, or share this post. Let's inspire each other to build more bridges, in business and in life. #Logistics #Growth #Partnerships #OneChipman #Chipman #logistics #whiteglove #whiteglovedeliveries #omavantage #warehouse #fulfillmentservices #portlandwarehouse #shorttermwarehousing.

It all starts with an idea

💫 Air Space Opportunities 💫 Development opportunities present themselves in many different ways. Part 20 Class A is one of the best PD rights there is. It allows the construction of up to two additional storeys on top of existing detached purposed-built block of flats. #propertydevelopment #sempreproperty #Guildford #permitteddevelopment #planning #construction

One of the most recognizable structures… In the metropolitan area is also one of the most important. The George Washington Bridge (GWB), a vital passage connecting New York City and New Jersey, helps people in the community arrive at work, visit family and friends, and enjoy the great experiences our region has to offer - THE NUTS AND BOLTS The two-level GWB spans the Hudson River between the upper Manhattan (West 178th Street) and Fort Lee, New Jersey. This suspension bridge was designed by Othmar H. Ammann, the Port Authority’s Chief Engineer at the time. Ground was broken for the original six-lane bridge in October 1927, and the Port Authority opened the bridge to traffic on October 25, 1931. Subsequently, in 1946, two additional lanes were added to the upper level. The lower level was opened on August 29, 1962, providing six lanes for traffic. These additional lanes increased the capacity of the bridge by 75 percent, making the GWB the world’s only 14-lane suspension bridge. Today, seventy-three years after its inception, it is now one of the world’s busiest bridges - SYMBOL OF FREEDOM The GWB is the proud home of the world’s largest free-flying United States flag. The flag, which is located under the upper arch of the New Jersey tower, drapes vertically for 90 feet, and flies freely, responding to breezes from the Hudson River or Palisades. The flag’s stripes are approximately five feet wide, and the stars measure about four feet in diameter. - CONSTANT ENHANCEMENTS Since its opening to traffic in 1931, the steel elements of the GWB has been regularly repainted to provide protection from rust and corrosion. - CONNECTING ROADWAYS In New Jersey, the roadways leading to the bridge provide the flexibility for motorists to use either the upper or lower level. Two four-lane approach and departure roadways connect to the upper level, with connections to and from the lower level via two three-lane tunnels through the Palisades. The towers and suspended structure contain more than 43,000 tons of steel.

We were the #engineers for the 500k SF Wisconsin Place in 2006, for the former JBG Smith HQ renovation in 2013, and for The Claude #MixedUse Development at Chevy Chase Lakes in 2023. With our fingerprints on the past and present development of Chevy Chase, we are eager to discuss plans for its future! Join SK&A Leaders Hakan Onel, PE, SE, Seth Rogge, and Azer Kehnemui, DSc,PE at this Bisnow event exploring specific #investment #opportunities are emerging within Chevy Chase and Friendship Heights, and how developers are balancing the preservation of historical elements within existing structures with the need for modernization and adaptation to meet contemporary functional requirements. #StructuralEngineering #ChevyChaseDevelopment #WisconsinPlace #JBGSmith #TheClaude #MixedUseDevelopment #SKALeaders #BisnowEvent #FutureOfChevyChase #FriendshipHeights #HistoricPreservation #Modernization #InvestmentOpportunities #DevelopmentTrends #AECIndustry #AECintheDMV #BuildingTheFuture #SKAProjects

Consider FWC for your next project.

Just in time for the 4th of July, the latest Security Journal Americas (SJA) is out & features a spotlight on USBP's involvement in the protection of the Washington Monument. This will always be one of our all-time favorite projects. Not only because of what this landmark represents to American history, or that it stands as a tribute to our Founding Father, George Washington, or even because of how impressively tall, monumental and iconic the obelisk stands in our nation's capital. The visitor centers' entrance to this landmark was essentialy built as a large 'glass box', using USBP's #window and #door systems to provide high-level protection from ballistics, blast, and forced entry. It's a testament to how a modern and welcoming design for buildings can be achieved without sacrificing security. Long are the days that buildings need to look institutional in order to protect people and property. As our colleague, Wade Arnold, CSI, CDT likes to say, "Glass is no longer the weak point in the wall system", and this projects is a testament to that statement! We're very proud to have been a part of this project and we would like to thank you to our partners at Innovo Construction, LLC and Pulp Studio, Inc! Happy 4th of July to everyone as we get ready to celebrate this great nation!
