So fulfilling to see a plan in action.

Landslips - Romney Marsh Two of our insurer clients have called on Optera to assist with a large slip to the rear of separate properties in Romney Marsh.   Romney, famed for its flat, featureless landscape is framed to the East by Rye with the only Incline within miles.   During the ongoing inclement weather, a large landslip occurred which affected various properties within the road. Landslips vary in complexity and typical considerations are height, inclination, geology, and logistics.    This job has everything!   It’s an incredibly steep slope which is very difficult to access but using a large structural scaffold ramp to get over the properties, we have this week completed the initial vegetation clearance and removal of spoil which accumulated against the houses and even burst through the kitchen door!    Over the next few weeks we will undertake site investigations and a scheme for permanent reinstatement will be prepared for our clients to consider we will hopefully provide further updates as this project develops. #landslip #stabilisation  #construction #siteinvestigations #claimsmanagement #insuranceclaims

One thing about side dump trailers that gets people thinking they should switch is the versatility of it. From big rocks, a bunch of little rocks, sand, gravel, water, sludge, etc. — if you can get it in that tub, then you can haul and dump it safely, no matter what it is. There’s always something we’ve never heard before that our customers want to haul. With a side dump, you can haul anything. For the more unique situations or products, we design trailers for the customer’s application.

Asphalt cut and excavation for the new parking ✔️

The blast hole design needs a relook that is the burden, spacing , diameter of hole for underground mine working, the calculations are different from open cast calculations. Delay intervals between the holes in the same row and between the rows are to be calculated as per standard formula . ANFO is a good explosive for stopping, instead of cartridge high VOD explosive. The picture is more like bombing than blasting.

What would you do if you encounter boulders like this one in your underground workspace? 🤔 Options: - Break it with a pickaxe; - Carry it on your backpack; - Ignore it and continue your daily work; - Close the mine; Let me know your thoughts! 😁 😂 #opitblast #boulders #fragmentation #undergroundmining #tunnelling

You should budget $5 to $12 per linear foot for your trench-digging project. For larger projects with lengthy digging, obstructions, or difficult soil, your trench cost can increase to $13 to $24 per linear foot. Most projects will quote you the trenching cost per 100 linear feet.

let's go

February 1, 2024: Today is National Texas Day! This day recognizes the 28th state to join the U.S. Some interesting facts about ‘The Lone Star State’ include: ·      The highest speed limit in the country is observed on a stretch of Texas State Highway 130 between San Antonio and Austin. Here it is allowed to drive up to 85 miles per hour. ·      The deadliest natural disaster in United States history occurred in Galveston. The Great Galveston Storm of 1900 killed approximately 8,000 people. ·      The famous phrase “Don’t mess with Texas” was coined by an advertising agency that was responsible for helping the state with its anti-litter campaign. In the 1980s Texas spent $20 million a year cleaning up trash along its highways. ·      Texas has more species of birds than any other state, which includes screech owls and hummingbirds. The Eastern Extension (Section 32) of the President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) connects the PGBT toll road to Interstate 30. FIGG designed the one-mile bridge crossing over Dallas's Lake Ray Hubbard for Texas Department of Transportation as part of this overall project. The superstructure consists of precast prestressed U-shaped beams 54” in depth with an 8” cast-in-place concrete slab on top. The typical deck width is 70', and the span lengths vary from 104’ to 115’. The substructure consists of rectangular reinforced concrete bent caps on top of circular reinforced concrete columns and drilled shafts. #civilengineering #concrete #bridge #texas
