Love to see the deconstruction movement gaining steam! City of San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation and Savannah are real leaders in this space! If we are going to lose buildings, let's at least be sure it's done sustainably. It's crazy how much construction debris goes to landfills. #urbanplanning #historicpreservation #sustainability

REMOTE_SITES ! sightings Let's take a deep breath.... The location of a remote site is a challenge by itself due to the remoteness of the project. The remoteness creates unique problems like shortages or non existent skilled and qualified human resources, materials, plants, communications/cellular services or road transportation and most of other services we usually take for granted. The dilemma of managing a remote site and risks due to physical, geopolitical, local politics, village politics are enormous. It is difficult to factor in all anticipated problems and risks associated with a remote site since some problems are unique to that particular remote location. In conclusion, all the problems/challenges faced by remote sites have cost and time implications on the overall project. The Civil Site Engineer+++ must be imaginative and creative in order to face the challenges and achieve positive results when leading a construction project in a remote area. by Daniel Kabwe:- A civil site engineer+++ successfully worked with some of the world's Best international companies in multi-millions Dollar infrastructure projects like BROWN & ROOT/ Coyne et Belier in Ethiopia Hydro power projects. TFM mine U$ 2 Billion in DR Congo by Freeport-McMoRan. “Comfortable in the boardroom, in the office and on site”

When it comes to underground utilities projects, scheduling can be a nightmare. It's like trying to juggle flaming swords while riding a unicycle. I've seen it all and here are the most common pitfalls that can derail your project. 1. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 Permits and approvals can take forever. Thinking they'll get done in a week? Think again. Plan for delays. They will happen. 2. 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 Rain, snow, extreme heat, they all slow down the work. Always factor in weather related delays. It's not just a “maybe”, it’s a guarantee. 3. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 When field and office teams don't communicate well, projects fall apart. Use tech to bridge the gap. Daily updates, clear instructions, and constant communication are non-negotiable. 4. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 Assuming there are no conflicts with existing utilities? Big mistake. Always do a thorough check and expect the unexpected. 5. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Things will go wrong. Have a Plan B, C, and D. A solid contingency plan can save you when things go south. 6. 𝗜𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆𝘀 Skipping detailed site surveys can lead to unexpected obstacles. Invest time in thorough site assessments to avoid costly surprises. 7. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Underestimating the manpower and equipment needed can cause delays. Make sure you have enough resources to handle the project efficiently. 8. 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Not keeping stakeholders informed can lead to dissatisfaction and conflicts. Regular updates and clear communication are key to managing expectations. 9. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Incomplete or missing documentation can lead to misunderstandings and legal issues. Ensure all project details are well documented and accessible to the team. Getting a handle on these issues can transform a chaotic project into a smooth operation. It’s not about avoiding problems, it’s about being prepared for them. With the right mindset and preparation, you can handle anything that comes your way. #FiberOptics #ProjectManagement #Telecommunications #Construction
