Case study: SurfCleaner supports road tunnel construction ✔️ SurfCleaner has supported one of the world’s longest road tunnel constructions. Due for completion in 2030, it will feature one of the world’s longest urban road tunnels, at 18km, just shorter than Tokyo’s Yamate Tunnel. The tunnels run under a lake, which is the metropolitan area’s most important water source, which means that the project is subject to clear requirements on how water may be handled during the construction of the tunnel. The construction companies working in the tunnels reuse cooling water for their drilling rigs, which must be cleaned of oil and other contaminants. The installation of the SurfCleaner units provides more control over the water content and a guarantee that no oil will emit to the internal purification stage, eliminating the risk of leaks to the surrounding environment. More cooling water could be recirculated minimising the need to top up with raw water. #pumpsupplies #surfcleaner #casestudy #construction #roadtunnel #installation #completion #2030

Daniel Pullan coined the phrase 'Hydrodynamic Dredging Method' to explain Ebsford Environmental Ltd's recent approach to this dredging project at #Leeds Dock for the Canal & River Trust. The method: ✅ Putting the silt into suspension, allowing the flow of the river to redistribute downstream. ✅Apply this to the moorings to remove sediment build up, which was lifting the moorings and stopping them from floating. ✅By pumping, we can complete the works without removing the mooring, this avoids disconnecting the utilities that runs through them.

A new unique project in the world of engineering which is going to be built for the first time in this world. This is a floating tunnels project that will be built inside Norway. The main goal of the project is to reduce the travel time between two cities within Norway. Because geographically within Norway there are deep ravines and high mountains, it is a very expensive and difficult task to cut through them and build a road through them. In such a case, these tunnels will be made under water, in which these tubes will be placed under water at a depth of 100 meters and then they will be pressed into the seabed with various cables and balanced or from above. will be attached to pontoons that will float on the surface of the water above. By doing this, they will not pose any threat to other marine traffic. With the construction of this tunnel, the distance between these two cities will be less than half. #Norway #Project #water

Brief Thoughts on Drones and Civil Construction The article below is one of what is becoming a flow of affirmative and positive disclosure that drone technology is increasingly used to observe as well as monitor civil construction in progress. Kudos to Stevens Cresto Engineers for their collaboration with Chad Bunn and CMB Services, utilizing the CMB drone technology to record the progress of this important project. I have been curious, impressed, somewhat excited, as well as intrigued by the potential of drone-applied technologies. In the civil construction industry sector drones are useful for video and still photography, as well as photogrammetry and now LIDAR data collection. Integrated with data processing technology from companies like Propeller, used by CMB Services, and Trace Air, used by a growing number of companies, the daily, weekly and monthly accrual of information, held in an electronic format for ongoing access is almost staggering. I have personally utilized the technology record to go “back in time” to see the captured images of work in progress. It literally changes the conversation when the record shows the “when and where” of a question. I’m of the opinion that drone technology in civil engineering and construction should be embraced. It changes the appeal of our industry. Will we continue to work hard at our industry? Well, yes. Civil construction is inherently labor intensive and thus, somewhat unattractive from that perspective. But the reward of hard work is the culmination of a project that serves our community. Drones can capture that process and that historic narrative enhances the “cool” factor. Chad Bunn Stevens Cresto Engineers
