Construction challenge for temporary haul road solved 🚧 ✅ The challenge: Constructing over 17 miles of robust temporary haul roads in the Yorkshire countryside to support the transport of heavy cable drums and materials. This posed a significant logistical and environmental challenge for the Dogger Bank Wind Farm project. The solution: To address this challenge, cutting-edge geosynthetic solutions from Naue were employed, including Combigrid® geocomposites. This approach not only minimized the volume of aggregate needed but also improved stability and facilitated easy restoration of the land after project completion. By efficiently meeting the project's requirements, it was possible to reduce its environmental impact significantly.

Unlocking Trapped Real Estate Value in the Heart of Los Angeles! In 2021, Gunnar Energy Services took on a groundbreaking project right in the heart of Los Angeles, specifically in Boyle Heights. Our innovative technology and services played a pivotal role in transforming previously unusable land into a prime development opportunity. The site is now well on its way to be developed into much needed affordable housing. 🛢️ Plugging the Old Oil Well: The key challenge we addressed was the presence of an old oil well on the site. This old well poised health and environmental hazards. By leveraging our cutting-edge technology, we successfully plugged the well, mitigating environmental risks and setting the stage for transformative possibilities. 📜 Certifications from CalGEM: Our successful services led us to obtain the necessary certifications from the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) of the California Department of Conservation. These certifications were required to gaining approval for the development of the site. 🌳 From Dormant to Flourishing: The once dormant land in Boyle Heights is now poised for vibrant development, unlocking significant real estate value in a bustling part of Los Angeles. Developers who previously had overlooked this site and others all across Lost Angeles are now able to bring much needed housing developments across the city. This project not only contributes to the economic vitality of the area but also aligns with sustainable development practices. 🙌 Team Effort: This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the entire Gunnar Energy Services and our partners over at Di Drill Survey Services Inc.. Our commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and community impact shines through in this transformative project. 🌐 Learn More: Curious about our projects and how we drive positive change through technology and innovation?

💧 The first pipes have been laid in a new 57km water pipeline, which will support supplies to more than 200,000 people across the North East of England.💧 NWG (Northumbrian Water Group) Project Pipeline: County Durham and the Tees Valley is a huge £155m investment in futureproofing the resilience and quality of water supply to customers. We are constructing Phase 1 of the project which will connect Lartington Water Treatment Works in Upper Teesdale with the town of Gainford and across to Shildon, County Durham. The project will see the replacement of sections of the network that have served the area for more than 100 years, alongside new stretches of pipeline. Pipelaying started from Whorley reservoir and the teams are working in the directions of Lartington and Shildon. A second phase is currently being planned, with work scheduled to start in 2025, further connecting the pipeline on to Teesside at Long Newton.

Angus Measurement Services, LP Special Service Group 💪Share Knowledge Good Tuesday morning January 9, 2024 in the old Permian Basin, on the southwest edge of the Llano Estacado, off the east side of the Frankle City Highway, in beautiful, Gaines County, Texas the wind stopped blowing. At least for today. When the fur circus made its business run last night it was still a steady 25 MPH. Some point between then and 5:45 this morning it laid. I live in a pretty well-built house, but the wind still finds ways to get in. Anyone contemplating coming out to this little slice of paradise needs to understand how the wind shapes the scenery and the people. I had a crew working for me in the early 2000's on a project just north of the "Ghost Cemetery" in Winkler County. https://lnkd.in/gQWwaZAD The crew was from Beaumont, and they started the job with the weather and wind in a nice March fashion. Steady 20 with gust to 30 or so from the west. Then we had one of those weeks. The wind started howling from the northwest and the dust started blowing. In the morning it would be a steady 25 then by noon it was 30-35 with gust to 50. A couple of afternoons about break time there would be 70 MPH gust. This went on for a solid 7 days! At night the wind would drop back to a steady 25. You know the wind is blowing when you have to shut down tank work because of the wind. The door sheet was at just the right position where the wind came right in. They tried putting up a tarp a few times but that would not last till the water got hot and the tarps were last seen heading toward FM 1232 and on to Pyote. Later the foreman made a comment to me how where they live the wind during a hurricane could blow harder and higher than what it does here, but after a while back there, it stopped. Seems out here in the Permian, when it gets going, it doesn't. Bloomberg has an article API picked up and dropped in my inbox. Producing, processing and disposal of water in the oilfield is a part of the business. This is something that has to be delt with every hour of every day any place oil is produced. Anyone interested or has a part in production of oil should consider attending the Oilfield Water Management Symposium at Odessa Texas in March. Being able to process and dispose of produced water is essential to continued production. I would highly encourage attending this event. Angus Measurement Services, LP is helping sponsor this event. Everyone have a great, safe day. Be aware of the traffic. There are a lot of dangerous things we do in the "Patch". In driving we only have 50% control of the situation. The other 50% is in the other drivers' hands. Follow the Smith's 5 Keys: Aim high in steering, get the big picture, keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out, and make sure they see you. Find someone today to make their life a little better. Angus Measurement Services, LP

The Lake Powell Pipeline would transport as much as 83,700 acre-feet of water per year from the Lake Powell reservoir to Washington County, Utah, through an approximately 140-mile buried pipeline. https://bit.ly/3tp2qAd

At Black & Veatch, we will always recommend the #naturepositive 🌲 approach, including avoidance of protected #wetlands. However, underground linear projects such as transmission or sewer lines do not always have the space to go around sensitive areas. Our response? Let’s go under it! Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trench-free method for linear installations. One of its greatest environmental benefits is the ability to pass underneath sensitive areas such as wetlands without causing any ground disturbance; which means it will not be subject to Section 404 permitting. It is one of many #sustinable practices we utilize to solve infrastructure challenges.  Let’s talk about the innovative methods that could improve your project 🔊 

The Tunneling Company, in collaboration with Akkerman, took on the challenge of a crucial 1,200 mm pipeline crossing under Ormond Creek in British Columbia. When faced with bedrock unexpectedly on both sides, we navigated a shift in methodology and discovered how the Rock Boring Unit (RBU) proved to be the most environmentally responsible and cost-effective solution, preserving the integrity of Ormond Creek: https://bit.ly/3Q08ibj #TunnelingChallenge #InfrastructureProjects #ProjectInnovation #TunnelingTechnology #EngineeringSuccess
