Industry Future Joshua King is a Bachelor of Civil Engineering Honors student studying with a specialisation in Professional Practices at UTS. He has been interning at Menard Oceania over the past year and shares his experience.   When asked about his interest in Civil Engineering, Josh said:    “Nothing was quite as exciting to me as the world humans built around us. Growing up in Sydney, we had a pretty spectacular array of amazing projects that we got to look at every day. It is a pretty special place to grow up, with amazing engineering feats all around us. That’s what inspired me to get into civil engineering. I have always found big projects in geotechnical areas interesting. Geotech is exciting. It’s kind of an adventure, like a roller coaster.”   Josh shared with us his experience so far at Menard:   “I learn a lot at Menard because we encompass so many different areas from design to project management. I get to experience the very base of a project, seeing where it starts, the business side of it, and moving into the design. It is great to have all these very smart people around you who can teach you little tricks and push you forward in all the technology aspects of things and then think it out on the other side on-site and see those designs come into reality.”   Josh is writing his thesis on stone columns and gets to work on one of our major stone columns projects in Central NSW. “You have some really intelligent people who’ve been doing things for a long time. Supervisors and engineers who are very experienced in different types of projects nationally and internationally. It’s pretty valuable to have them all together. I would say in terms of being the main contractor, the size of the scope of it, the number of cranes, the number of people. That makes it exciting because it feels like it’s a rising tide. It feels like everything’s pushing forward. New jobs are coming in; bigger jobs are coming in. It’s been exciting!!” #civilengineering #groundimprovement #studies #internship #dams #mining #future #foundations

Diana Puukki, who completed her master's degree in energy and environmental engineering did her thesis for Meyer Turku. In the thesis, solutions were investigated for the life-cycle emission reductions of the ship's main galley. 🍃 The results of the thesis revealed that the most emissions can be reduced with alternative fuels and by optimizing systems and improving energy efficiency. 🖊 Before her master's degree studies, Diana studied mechanical engineering. Meyer was already familiar as a work environment for her, as Diana has previously modeled cabins and surface materials in the interior design department. Diana is also planning for a future in shipbuilding. Her goal is to continue working on building climate-friendly ships. 🛳 🗨 "Meyer is attractive as a place to work, because very unique ships are made here. In addition, the work environment is really broad and versatile, and the opportunities for career development are extensive. I also consider it important that here you can concretely see the result of your own work, when the ships are being built right before your eyes," says Diana. #MeyerTurku #Career #Thesis #MastersDegree #Shipbuilding

These are called shear keys and are provided to resist shear failure and to ensure effective bonding of the mass concrete. The inward projection of concrete shown at the start of the video is a 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲, while the outward projection shown later in the video is called a 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲. Shear keys are crucial in large-scale concrete constructions such as dams, bridges, large foundations, and retaining walls, as they significantly enhance the structural integrity by preventing slippage between concrete layers. #keys #male #female #shear #concrete #slippage #construction #dam #internship #civilengineering

Below is a blog that myself and Taras Mandziuk wrote about our experience at BoonBrown, now onto our next stage, progressing with RIBA Part II studies. Take a look at our experience so far!

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." - Zig Ziglar After much contemplation, I've decided it's time to take the leap. Not because of where I am today, but because of where I aspire to be. Now to the reason I'm here. Hello everyone, I'm Araromi Grace, a 300-level Quantity Surveying student at Obafemi Awolowo University. With a foundation in leadership, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, adaptability, and time management, I'm eager to share my experiences and knowledge gained from interning at KLAZ Integrated Services. When I'm not studying, I'm modeling as a fashion enthusiast, exploring the creative side of life. My goal is to leverage my growing expertise to help fellow professionals in the construction field. I'd love to connect with fellow creative quantity surveyors, professionals from various industries, and anyone passionate about making a difference in the built environment. Let's learn from each other, share ideas, and grow together! What topics would you like me to discuss? Share your thoughts. #QuantitySurveying #PersonalBranding #StudentLife #FashionMeetsConstruction #Collaboration #GrowthMindset"
