The perfect geotech morning doesn’t exi… wait wait wait Waking up in Miami this morning, I was greeted by a spectacular sight—a vast construction site right outside my window. There, the symphony of heavy machinery in action: a dynamic compaction machine methodically densifying the soil, while not one, but two pile drivers stood ready, one already pounding away. Let me explain you what I just saw: - Dynamic Compaction: This process involves using a heavy weight dropped from a crane to consolidate the soil, a critical task in preparing the ground for future development. It’s a method that reduces soil settlement under future loads, crucial in areas with loose granular soils. - Pile Driving: The sight of pile drivers at work is not just about laying the foundation literally but also metaphorically setting the stage for what will soon be a part of the city’s skyline. As I admired the efficiency and precision at the ground level, another inspiring view caught my eye—the breathtaking panorama of Miami's towering skyscrapers. Each of these architectural marvels stands as a testament to the foundational truth of our field: to build something great, you must first lay solid foundations. These structures encapsulate the essence of geotechnical engineering—where meticulous planning and robust foundation work pave the way for soaring heights and lasting impacts. For a geotechnical engineer, mornings like these are a reminder of the direct impact our work has on shaping environments. It's exhilarating to see theories and calculations materialize into real-world applications that will stand the test of time. Here’s to all the geotechnical engineers out there—may your day be as fulfilling as starting it with a view of progress and potential! Let's continue building the future, one project at a time. #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #sheetpiling #vinylsheetpiles #construction

These helical piles really make building boardwalks so simple

Structural & Geotech Engineers and Trail Builders... CHANCE recommends battered piles for many walkway and boardwalk projects to optimize load transfer, reduce pile bending moment demand, and enhance stability. 💡 The benefits:  1️⃣ Efficient Load Transfer: Battered piles efficiently distribute shear and moment loads, stabilizing structures and reducing reliance on passive pressure.  2️⃣ Reduced pile Bending Moment Demand: Minimize pile bending moment requirements with battered piles, leading to more cost-effective designs with smaller shaft.  3️⃣ Stiffer Pile Head Response: Battered piles offer a stiffer pile head response for improved stability and rigidity. 🦅 Helical piles for elevated walkways and boardwalks reduce environmental impact. The use of helical piles means a small installation "footprint". It matches perfectly with the need for minimal disturbance to the sensitive environmental surroundings. Using battered piles increases the opportunities to use helical piles for the remote, environmentally sensitive trails needing elevated walkways.

Here's just a few of the ways our Underground Tools add-on for PointStudio and PointModeller can streamline your surveying: ✅Import multiple different file types at once ✅Easily filter out underground services and mesh to provide a ‘clean’ point cloud for modelling ✅Compare designed and actual solids or surfaces to view underbreak and overbreak ✅Generate and share reports in minutes Are you ready to extend your survey applications? Check out this and our other geotechnical, design conformance and reporting add-ons here https://loom.ly/BurEd08 #Maptek #MineSurveying #MakeItSimple

In a few years, all Earth data' will be in your Smartphone

The quest to get my hands on every single piece of surveying equipment in the world goes on... now using a Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon BLK2GO from SCCS to capture the interior of a newly finished apartment, then extracting the floorplan area from the cloud using @n4ce . Not quite as fast as the vid but miles quicker than a tape / disto, which is just as well.. That's one down, another 439 to go.....

Join us today at the opening ceremony of #ASCE Geo-Congress in #vancouver #canada! #geotechnicalengineers know that #slopestability is very important when excavating in slopes. In this real case, a deep excavation with #reinforcedconcrete piles supported with three levels of prestressed ground anchors in our #DeepEX software with a 2D #geotechnical #finiteelementanalysis and a #slopestability analysis in one file. Always consider proper #constructionstaging in your model. Conventional limit-equilibrium analysis was also examined for apparent earth pressures, together with a Winkler based non-linear analysis. The animations show the #structural bending moments of the wall as well as the bending capacity. In other words, a complete #deepexcavation design! Follow Deep Excavation LLC for more!
