There is nothing like a cold morning safety huddle after a 3.5" rainy 🌧 weekend. Project: #E52 Rex Road Elementary Balfour Beatty US #zeroharm Skyrock Construction #theGOLDstandard #safetyfirst #safetyculture #concrete #minorityownedbusiness #blackownedbusiness

Today's engineer geek out moment brought to you by CORE... We get SUPER PUMPED to see our designs in action! This video was captured by our project partner Cuningham in the aftermath of the gnarly rainstorm on June 22, 2023 at Littleton School's new EPIC Campus, while still under construction. CORE helped devise cutting-edge underground detention facilities incorporated underneath a main parking lot and via porous landscaping in the courtyard and permeable pavers in other parking areas. Along with a pipe system and surface flows, these three elements SOAK UP STORMWATER LIKE A SPONGE, hold it on site for the proper amount of time, and release it responsibly into the greater storm system offsite. On a rainy day like today, it feels darn good to know we're playing our part to maintain, improve, and protect our immediate environment.

"It's always cool to see new stuff. You know we're always in a different place, different neighborhoods, different states. You get to see nature. I've always been one for the woods and stuff like that - it's nice to be outside."   John enjoys his career in utility construction and doesn't find it tedious or overly stressful.   Please share this video & the link below with young people, parents, teachers, guidance counselors & anybody who knows a person looking for a rewarding & long-lasting career.   Get more information at PCCA's Careers page: https://lnkd.in/gxkAbg_C. #careerpath #HighPayingJobs #powergrid #broadband #criticalinfrastructure #career #earnmoney #careergoals #lifegoals #CareerPathways #debtfree #jobopening #CareerDevelopment #onthejobtraining #startnow #teachers #parents #guidance #counselors #ShareThisPost #Repost #FinancialStability #jobopportunity #careeropportunities #jobsecurity #careergrowth #careersuccess #PCCA #Careers https://lnkd.in/gAbi8iJd

Case Study: The Sidewalk That Never Floods Assessment: As an engineer with over 15 years experience, Tom Batroney, P.E. decided to put HIS actual money into a severely deteriorating sidewalk and actually practice what you preach.” After receiving quotes to have his sidewalk removed and replaced with concrete in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Tom decided to take matters into his own hands, literally. Solution: Western Pennsylvania representative Anne Duggan of Kevcon, Inc. knew Tom from previous meetings and discussed a game plan for Tom to install the PaveDrain system on his 200 square foot sidewalk. Tom stated that once the old concrete was ripped out, she installed a permeable geotextile and 6" of open graded rock, and compacted it into place. Anne delivered and unloaded the three pallets of PaveDrain and within a few hours it was all in! Nothing to it! She even sealed it after it was installed. Results: Tom said, “We used to have water ponding problems on this sidewalk which led to a premature deterioration. But not any more. The water just goes right through the PaveDrain and into the base. No frost heave at all. After 3 years, only real maintenance has been sucking out some debris with a shop vac a couple of places.” https://lnkd.in/gGK3aAxW Credits: https://lnkd.in/gwWNRdPx Kevcon, Inc. www.kevconinc.com #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain

Time for a candid conversation about the Commercial Construction industry culture. Below are a list of things I have experienced during my career journey. ❌ Bullying & Sexual Harassment ❌ Verbal Abuse (yelling, screaming, swearing, aggression) ❌ Threats of physical harm ❌ Narcissism and gaslighting (Extreme forms) ❌ Things physically thrown at me ❌ Ostracised This culture is NOT acceptable. It makes our industry unwelcoming, especially for young people, minority groups, and women, leading to high turnover and low retention. I'm now at a point where I get 'Mumma Bear' angry if I see this behavior and I'm quick to protect others. If you see something - Say something - Stand up for yourself and advocate for others. Remember, support groups like Rise and Mates in Construction exist because of unacceptable behaviors like this. (They are Great, I just wish we didn't need them) #constructionculture #RISE #MatesInConstruction
