Our team in Jupiter, FL has been making major progress on the US 1 Bridge Replacement Project. The SR 5/US 1 Bridge over the Loxahatchee River/Intracoastal Waterway is being replaced with a twin double-leaf drawbridge with up to 42 feet of vertical clearance. Enhanced safety, reduced traffic noise, and improved traffic flow are all part of this project to better connect the community. #BuildingGreatThings #bridgeconstruction #jupiterflorida #engineering #bridgereplacement

🌊 Dive into the World of Quay Walls! 🌊 Ever wondered what keeps those towering structures along waterfronts standing tall? Quay walls, my friends, are the unsung heroes of coastal engineering, safeguarding shores and enabling maritime commerce. But what exactly are they, and why should you care? Let's break it down: 1. The Anatomy of a #QuayWall: Picture a fortress guarding against the relentless assault of waves. Quay walls are essentially retaining structures built parallel to the shoreline, providing stability and support to waterfront infrastructure like ports and harbors. 2. Engineering Marvels: Behind every quay wall lies a masterpiece of geotechnical engineering. From selecting the right materials to designing robust foundations, every aspect is meticulously planned to withstand the forces of nature. 3. Meeting Maritime Challenges: In a world where rising sea levels and increasingly severe weather patterns threaten coastal communities, quay walls play a crucial role in adaptation and resilience strategies. But hey, enough with the technical jargon! Whether you're a seasoned engineer or simply fascinated by the wonders of the world, quay walls have something to offer everyone. So, next time you stroll along the waterfront, take a moment to appreciate these silent guardians of the sea. Curious to learn more? #CoastalEngineering #Infrastructure #maritimes #civilengineering

Geotechnical, Civil & Structural Engineer Recruiter | Building Engineering Teams Throughout North America.
I was curious the other day about the most notable geotechnical failures in the U.S. As I've been having conversations with forensic engineers lately it made me wonder, so I looked it up! 1. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Washington, USA - The Tacoma Narrows Bridge's original design couldn't withstand strong winds, leading to its dramatic collapse in 1940. It highlights the significance of accounting for dynamic loads in design and construction. 2. The Big Dig, Boston, Massachusetts, USA - This massive tunnel project faced numerous geotechnical challenges, including leaks and construction issues. It showcases the complexities of underground engineering and the need for meticulous planning. 3. Skyscraper Sinkholes, San Francisco, California, USA - Several skyscrapers sinking due to excessive groundwater pumping are a stark reminder of the need for sustainable land use practices and careful groundwater management. 4. The Millennium Tower, San Francisco, California, USA - The Millennium Tower has been sinking and tilting due to poor foundation design and construction practices. It underscores the importance of thorough geotechnical site investigations and quality control. 5. The Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle, Washington, USA - The viaduct's structural issues and susceptibility to seismic events necessitated its replacement. It highlights the significance of geotechnical considerations in infrastructure projects, particularly in earthquake-prone regions. This intrigued me, so I wanted to share the info. Have a great day ya'll! #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering

MidAtlantic's Marine Group recently performed an ASCE Routine Level above and underwater condition inspection of a 1,500 linear foot dock consisting of pre-cast piles in San Juan Puerto Rico. Following the inspection MidAtlantic developed a routine level report with recommendations and we are currently developing repair details and issue for bid repair plans. Nice work team! MidAtlantic – Integrity. Expertise. Ingenuity. #civilengineering #environmentalengineering #marineengineering #survey #architecture

Senior Solutions Architect, Helping Partners and Customers with their Streaming Analytics Use Cases at SAS IoT
One of the reasons I love working in Streaming analytics and IoT domain is the impact it has on real world critical scenarios. My first project in the IoT division at SAS was to integrate some of the calculations that Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) already had to calculate water surge, into SAS Event Stream Processing (ESP) to do real time calculations in buoys deployed out in the sea. Today morning when I was reading this post, the first thing that came to my mind was the possible impact those ESP servers running those calculations were having here. #iot #streamingdata #realtimeanalytics
Ok so history was made last night in the Netherlands - late last night my Dutch friends and colleagues at Rijkswaterstaat were taking the brunt of #stormpia. Winds blowing across the north sea resulted in surges across their coastal defences with the Maeslantkering (Maeslant barrier) being closed in anger for the first time in its history to protect Rotterdam against a forecast storm surge of +3.17m NAP. Peter Vlam and his team were calm and professional in the first official deployment of the barrier monitoring the computer system known as 'BOS' and co-ordinating with the Port of Rotterdam ensuring the navigational traffic was stopped allowing the barrier to close. The barrier was closed at 20:10 with water levels rising to +3.34m NAP on the downward side of the barrier preventing a forecast level of +3.17m NAP of water in Rotterdam; some 170mm above the operational closure level of the barrier. The team successfully managed the closure through the night re-opening the barrier around 03:00 this morning and reinstating navigational traffic to the Port of Rotterdam. This barrier is the largest barrier with a ball-shaped joint hinge in the world, with the hinge diameter measuring 10 metres, and weighing 680 tonnes. The construction of the barrier cost 450 million euro and is the height of the Eiffel Tower - each side. More information can be found here on the structure - https://lnkd.in/enwncJMJ Well done to the team and everyone involved in ensuring we protect people and infrastructure. Often the unsung heroes working in the middle of the night when most are asleep not knowing how they are being protected. I wish you all a safe and well recovery from the event and a less 'excitable' Christmas and New Year.

Dear our #housebuilders connections and #planners, by 1st November every year we are entering to 'winter' or 'wet' season which is ending on the 1st April, while any proposed #earthworks (#consruction of #embankments/ #bunds) will be postponed or ceased until next year's 'dry' season, this new episode is popular to carry out BRE 365 #Soakage Tests or #Deep #Boreholes #Permeability Tests to simulate the potential flooding on site. ***A Brief Hint*** During the #BRE365 tests, our #chartered site engineers will make sure that the test pit has not been over excavated or insufficiently excavated. Because if you have over #excavated the pit, you would be testing the underlying bedrock which is mostly ‘#impermeable’ across SE England and if you have insufficiently excavated the pit, that means you are mostly testing the organic #topsoil layers rather than the target subsoils. At IBEX Consulting Engineers Limited, #welovewhatwedo and we offer #awardwinning #service, therefore, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need Phase I and Phase II ground investigations as well as #geotechnical/geo-#environmental services across the #unitedkingdom Our fees and lead times are unbeatable, please feel free to contact us on: E: info@ibexconsultant.com T: 01737 452622 W: www.ibexconsultant.com #BRE365 #soakaway #floodrisk #suds #permeability #boreholedrilling #structural #structuralengineer #ISTRUCTE #ICE #geotechnical #soils #geology #civilengineer #quantitysurveyor #chalk #slopestability #soilstabilization #environmental #geotechnical #geotechnicalengineering #slopestability #geology #groundinvestigation #geoenvironmental #solarpanels #solarprojects #phase1 #phase2 #unitedkingdom #slopestability #earthworks #soilstabilization #soiltesting #reinforcedslope #gabions #retainingwalls #design #cad #deskstudy #wac #waste #wasteclassification #hazwasteonline
