Yesterday, students from 10 high schools across Detroit gathered to compete in Atlantic Impact’s inaugural ‘Build Detroit: Skilled Trades Challenge' at Eastern Market. The competition was a huge success, and we would like to thank everyone who helped make the day great! The Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union, Local 2 of Michigan coordinated and judged the masonry competition; Morrey's Contracting judged the carpentry competition; Sachse Construction sponsored prizes for the winners and recruited several volunteers, whom were an enormous help in facilitating a seamless event; Herc Rentals sponsored a much-needed forklift for the day; and 10 local businesses attended the business showcase to share their work and employment opportunities with over 100 local high school students, 'Build Detroit' competitors, and curious members of the community! We're already making bigger and better plans for next year's competition - let us know if you would like to get involved, and we hope to see you next year! www.atlanticimpact.org #skilledtrades #competition #Detroit #construction #masonry #carpentry #welding

Foundation solutions can provide savings on programme, cost, embodied carbon and contribute to an improved building thermal performance.

The SDV Construction team, alongside the Mayor of Rio Rancho Gregg Hull and AGC and SEA, had the honor of hosting author Jenny Kerr Schroen who flew from Maryland to inspire over 150 students with the timeless lesson that ‘Grit Leads to Greatness’. Through the lens of superheroes, the book emphasizes the vital role of trades in our communities, igniting young minds with the power of possibility. 🛠️🏗️ “Grit Lead to Greatness draws in both children and adults to the world of construction through secret passageways, snowboarding, volcanos, water slides, and rollercoasters. By telling a creative tale, one that puts kids in the shoes of the protagonists, they can begin to see reflections of their current world and the not-so-distant futuristic society that could exist if the construction trades are forgotten. Kids are encouraged to find Greatness in their own life by resisting distractions, believing in themselves, and taking action when others do nothing. Most importantly, they can understand in simple terms how GRIT is the cornerstone of a well-lived life.” #SDVConstruction #LandOfEnchantment #NewMexicoTrue #ConstructionCompany #VeteranOwned #VeteranOwnedBusiness #VeteranBusiness #NMTrue #BuildingBrighterFutures #TradesMatter #InspiringNextGenLeaders #MikeRowe mikeroweWORKS Sandoval Economic Alliance AGC New Mexico

Thanks for a great conversation, VDC MKE! During this presentation, Scot Lauwasser discussed the guiding principles to a successful modular and prefabrication project, the layers of communication needed at multiple levels on a project, and the constant feedback loops between design, manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) processes. #Construction #Prefabrication #Prefab #ModularConstruction

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
