For those interested in learning more about the 2018 Florida Bridge collapse, CROSS Expert Panel member Steve Williams, BEng CEng FIStructE FICE MPWI gave a fantastic lecture for The Institution of Structural Engineers back in October 2021. It’s available to watch in full below. The lecture delves into the events leading up to the collapse, why the collapse happened and recommendations on how such tragedies can be avoided in the future. There is also a brief introduction to CROSS, the work we do and how to report. 

Built to Last Episode 2 - Indianapolis, Indiana's Washington Street Pumping Station: A 150-Year Legacy of Resilience and Sustainability https://lnkd.in/ganDPvFu Join me as I investigate the fascinating history of the Washington Street Pumping Station in Indianapolis, Indiana, the city's first water pumping station built in 1871. Using water from the Indiana Central Canal to power water wheels, the station showcased sustainable design before the era of electricity. In 1906-1908, it transitioned to turbines, maintaining a remarkable longevity with sustainable power until its decommissioning in 1969. The station's durability was evident in its survival through a 1927 tornado that damaged but did not defeat it. Constructed with ornate brickwork, copper downspouts, and a slate roof, the building exemplified "Built to Last" functionality. Join me in celebrating the Washington Street Pumping Station's nearly 100-year operation and its enduring impact on the City of Indianapolis's history. # BuiltToLast #InfrastructureLegacy #SustainabilityHistory

What is the plan for the Francis Scott Key Bridge clean up? See below.

Mr. Safety teaching what he knows. If you've ever wondered where to get good quality safety training, here's your sign!

When it comes to galley installations, the end depends on the beginning.

Soil stabilization is the first step in responsible and sustainable use of taxpayers investment in infrastructure projects.

The collapse of Baltimore bridge in the US is from the technical point of view is a testament of dynamic effect of impact forces and loads applied upon the bridge piers by passing ship or barge. It is interesting that such force was neglected in the design of a river bridge where ships and barges are often passing through and could collide with it as it already has happened. The cost may be a reason, however, safety of people’s lives comes first. A simple blocking perimeter around the bridge piers well designed can do the job with a reasonable cost. Whatever the cause was (mechanical failure or human error) it was enough to cause such tragedy and loss of life and money spent in that project that its workers thrived hard to save. In the end, this is life: full of lessons.

A little more detail on the two separate NAHB International Builders' Show presentations that both Robert Cain and I will be doing (with Ed Hauck and Eric Tiffin). Hope to see you there!! https://lnkd.in/eDCbv3nT
