The science behind ground movement is interesting and new. We believe that everyone would benefit from a broader knowledge of predicted ground movements from basement construction and the data gathered from actual monitoring of the phenomenon. However, in the absence of this more progressive approach, what follows is a guide to Ground Movement Assessments and Burland Damage Category Assessments and an explanation of the challenges and complexities. https://lnkd.in/ej-gKDgd

Off-shore or not off-shore, that is the question. The TCC has recently clarified what counts as 'off-shore' for the purposes of the Construction Act. #constructionlaw #construction
The TCC has provided guidance as to whether work carried out in a tidal river was off-shore or part of the land. Read Joseph Hale and Jennifer Fitzmaurice's analysis of this recent development here: https://lnkd.in/emB72bCy #ConstructionAndEngineering

April 19, 2024: Tomorrow is National North Dakota Day! This day recognizes the 39th state to join the U.S. Some interesting facts about ‘The Peace Garden State’ include: · North Dakota may or may not have been the 39th state to have joined the union. Both North and South Dakota were admitted at the same time. President Benjamin Harrison asked then Secretary of State James Blaine, to shuffle up the paperwork to avoid anyone ever knowing the state that was signed first. Still, North Dakota is listed as the 39th state with South Dakota occupying the 40th spot. This is due to alphabetical order. · A few attempts were launched to drop “North” from the state’s name and go by the simpler “Dakota”. The first attempt was in 1947 and the second was in 1989. However, both were unsuccessful due to the pushback from the Legislative Assembly. · North Dakota is the leading producer of honey in the U.S., followed by South Dakota, California, Montana, and Florida. · Lake Sakakawea formed by Garrison Dam on the Missouri River is named after a Shoshone woman named Sacagawea. In 1805 – 1806, she worked as a guide and interpreter during the Lewis and Clark expedition. The lake was created in 1954. It is one of the largest artificial reservoirs in the United States. The Four Bears Bridge in New Town, North Dakota, was North Dakota’s first precast concrete segmental bridge. This bridge crosses the Missouri River, where the river is widened by Garrison Dam, creating Lake Sakakawea. The bridge features a variable depth superstructure that was built in balanced cantilever, minimizing the impact on the environment. FIGG designed this bridge for the North Dakota Department of Transportation Department of Transportation. FIGG also provided construction engineering and inspection support to the Owner. #civilengineering #concrete #bridge

February 15, 2024: Tomorrow is National Wisconsin Day! This day recognizes the 30th state to join the U.S. Some interesting facts about ‘The Badger State’ include: · The state symbol, the badger, does not refer to the animal. Rather, it refers to the lead miners of the 1820s who travelled for work and even dug tunnels to find somewhere to sleep and stay warm—in the same way as a badger. · The largest woolly mammal to have ever been excavated was discovered in Kenosha. · Wisconsin is the #1 exporter of cranberries, sweet corn, and ginseng and the #1 producer of cheese in the U.S. · William Harley and the Davidson brothers (Walter and Arthur) built their first motorcycle in Milwaukee. · The first hydroelectric plant in the world was built at Fox River in Appleton in 1882. The Marquette Interchange is a major freeway interchange located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I-94, I-794, and I-43 meet. These highways are the cornerstone of the southwestern Wisconsin freeway system and link about one-third of the state’s freeway traffic to the rest of the country. Originally built in the 1960s, the interchange underwent a total reconstruction between 2004 and 2008. The project involved 46 cranes and more than 4,000 workers in what was the largest construction project in state history at the time. FIGG Bridge Inspection, Inc. (FBI) provided construction engineering and inspection services for this project. Wisconsin Department of Transportation #civilengineering #concrete #bridge #wisconsin
