Digital twinning for large civil infrastructure has been one of the key discussion topics at the 9th International Workshop on Structural Control and Monitoring over the last two days. Thanks to the organisers, especially Eleni Chatzi and Vasilis Dertimanis, for putting on such a great meeting. Very interesting to see so many relevant activities from across the world. https://9iwscm.ethz.ch/

Decisions without Knowledge Making decisions for coastal engineering, planning or management involves second-guessing how the coast might change in the future. How we make those decisions, and the information we should use to support them, should vary with each question! https://lnkd.in/gtzetf9B

🌍 *Ensuring Stability in Uncertain Terrain: A Geotechnical Perspective* 🏗️ In construction, few factors are as critical as the management of water levels and soil integrity. Whether it’s building foundations near water bodies or ensuring structural stability on shifting soils, geotechnical solutions are the backbone of sustainable construction. 🔍 *Why it matters:* - 🌊 *Water level management* is key in preventing soil erosion and ensuring the longevity of structures. - 🛠️ *Geotechnical assessments* help predict potential subsurface challenges, allowing for preventive measures before construction even begins. By investing in thorough geotechnical studies, we’re not only building structures but safeguarding them for generations to come. #Construction #GeotechnicalEngineering #WaterManagement #SustainableBuilding #EngineeringSolutions

The art & science of surveying has changed so much over the last 4 decades. Technology has DRASTICALLY improved the accuracy of the process. Those of us that every used a surveyors chain understand the improvements that have occured.
At its core, land surveying is the science and art of accurately determining the three-dimensional positions of points, distances, and angles between them on the Earth's surface. Surveyors use a combination of specialized equipment, technology, and mathematical calculations to map out the boundaries, contours, and features of a piece of land to help with: 🔹 Boundary Determination 🔹 Site Analysis & Planning 🔹 Infrastructure Development 🔹 Safety & Compliance To learn more visit: https://ow.ly/K2fF50SsQhn

Did you know💭 There could be as much as a 95% reduction in lorry movements in and out of construction sites by re-using materials on-site! The impact is huge - a reduction in transportation CO2, road traffic noise, congestion and damages to the infrastructure. An important point raised by Jim Webster at the AGS - Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists Annual Conference 2024. #ACSW #geotechnical #geoenvironmental #earthworks
