These are great programs that benefit businesses and individuals.

See how: https://hubs.ly/Q02nGNvX0 The Byford team updated their weekly routine to increase collaboration and remove the Friday afternoon rush. Now, area teams of engineers and supervisors update and review their plans each Wednesday, with Aphex helping to identify cross-team interfaces and remove them before the final presentation on a Thursday. "Our new approach drives the engineers and supervisors to be completely across their plans and how they fit into the wider project before our final review meeting," said David, "this has driven real buy-in and accountability to our plans." This enables them to use the lookahead to drive weekly reporting, too. Read the full case study: https://hubs.ly/Q02nGNvX0 #byford #laing

Top-down building construction using the Liftbuild system in Chicago - I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can make construction safer: can we develop a solution that reduces the number of large crane lifts, or can we minimise works within deep excavations or confined spaces, or can we manufacture precast offsite rather than stick-building? Considering high-rise construction, my initial thoughts are “you could never build a high-rise without a tower crane”. Turns out I was wrong! The Exchange tower is a 16 storey building which is being built top-down using the new LIFTbuild system. Each floor is built on ground, and lifted into place. It significantly reduces the fall hazards and work required around suspended loads, and makes it possible to build a high-rise mostly from ground level. Could this be something we see more of in the high-rise construction industry, or perhaps even in other applications? #safety #engineering #safetyinconstruction https://lnkd.in/geKk-2FY

As a key leader on Tilson's Outside Plant team, Senior Construction Manager Marcos Jaramillo is using his firsthand experience building fiber networks to foster an environment that focuses on safety, teamwork, open communication, and mutual respect. Having spent years working as a laborer, utility locator, supervisor, and business development manager, Marcos understands both the technical aspects and soft skills needed to be part of a successful team. It’s leaders like Marcos, grounded in safety and collaboration, who have driven Tilson’s nationwide expansion of our fiber operations. Yet, Marcos emphasizes that the credit isn’t just his: “At the end of the day, it’s you and your team pulling together that gets you through."

Mission accomplished in Lawrence, KS! What a GREAT team George Grieb has assembled! This team is primed and ready to climb to the next level and beyond. I wouldn’t want to be their competition because they are preparing to play at an entirely new level. It’s a privilege to play a small role in their BIG picture! #teambuilding #workforcedevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #culturaltransformation #electricalcontractor #construction #electricalconstruction #constructionindustry

Today on the set with Tod talking about Directional Drilling and history of S & S Directional Boring.

A great pre-construction workshop with GallifordTry and the client team today. These kind of workshops are key to successful projects in the long run and a good way to build relationships. #ridge #civilengineering #preconstruction
