In honor of National Construction Week, we wanted to highlight one of our construction clients, VP of Technology & Innovation at Knutson, Katie Montag, AIA, who says "By using Matterport, we find that we’re winning projects faster. We can provide information to prospective clients that they likely didn’t have before, and we’re also seeing our own costs to win business—and then subsequently manage it—decrease." Dive into this case study to learn more about how Knutson Construction Services was able to accelerate decision-making and decrease costly site visits by 75%: https://lnkd.in/ghH-PeaH #NationalConstructionWeek #construction

🌟 Excited to share a remarkable case study showcasing innovative infrastructure solutions! 🚧 In a challenging road widening project along the scenic A72 road in Peebles, Scotland, our team tackled multiple engineering hurdles head-on. The narrow road, coupled with a weakened verge and ongoing traffic congestion, demanded a robust solution. 🛠 Engineering Challenge: The project required widening the road by approximately 3 meters, replacing existing walls, and ensuring safety standards compliance. However, steep slopes and limited space posed significant challenges. 💡 Maccaferri Solution: Working in close collaboration with MHB Consultants, we engineered a cutting-edge hybrid reinforced soil structure. The solution, standing at 6 meters tall and stretching 150 meters along the River Tweed, incorporated Maccaferri’s Terramesh System. This innovative approach not only retained the highway but also minimized environmental impact. 🤝 Collaborative Effort: Our partnership with Albion Drilling and the Scottish Borders Council's environmental clerk of works ensured a comprehensive approach. From design to construction, every step was meticulously monitored to mitigate environmental concerns. 🏗 Result: The £2.2 million project was successfully completed in 10 months, culminating in a widened highway that facilitates smooth traffic flow. Today, road users enjoy a safer and more efficient commute, thanks to the implementation of the Terramesh System. At Maccaferri, we're committed to delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions that address complex challenges while preserving the environment. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to innovation and collaboration. 💪 #Infrastructure #EngineeringExcellence #TerrameshSystem #CaseStudy #Sustainability #construction

The NRMCA’s Low Carbon Concrete Symposium in Denver, CO was a dynamic convergence of minds where industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers united to discuss opportunities to achieve project carbon targets. Central to our conversation was the urgent need to address embodied carbon in the built environment. We explored currently available means and methods contractors and ready mix producers can utilize to achieve the projects carbon targets. Collaboration emerged as a crucial factor, no single entity possesses the sole solution to sustainability. By coming together, sharing knowledge, and fostering partnerships, we can accelerate the adoption of low-carbon concrete solutions. We are building a future where sustainability is not an option; it's the standard. Thanks to all the collaboration NRMCA Group Colorado Ready Mixed Concrete Association American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) Rocky Mountain ACI (RMACI) Build With Strength SEAC - Structural Engineers Association of Colorado

A great read on the benefits of utilizing punched and drawn geogrids to stabilize high PI clay subgrades. Very well written Gretchen McInnes, P.E.!

Great video explaning this new construction technology:

Check out the newest Case Study for one of the most important expansions of Metrolinx : Ontario Line. Where Geogrid was selected for its soil stabilization and pavement longevity, with the primary design criteria being to improve subgrade resilience and enhance load distribution for a platform design approach for the Ontario Line. #subgradeimprovement #innovativedesign #innovativesolutions #engineering #metrolinx
