How to build once and right.

Some sites we install 400 plots. Some sites we install piles to a porch. Here we have it. The final conclusion of a site that was pure teamwork. Installed by our very own contracts manager (this is not his job) Mark Medhurst ! (I owe your a big big beer) It helps having a team of amazingly skilled people, that not only go above, but also go beyond. As a manager, my job is a doddle. It’s these people on the ground doing the tough stuff. Honestly. I wouldn’t have a job without the team I have. Proud beyond words. £1,300,000 house about to go sky bound.

Segments from the Past! A look into our construction archive finds winter construction photos of the new I-76 Allegheny River Bridge in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Daily winter temperatures in nearby Pittsburgh averaged 20oF during the construction of this project. Balanced cantilever construction began from pier tables cast in place atop twin wall piers to provide a platform for launching the traveling forms. One side of the pier table was 16’ long while the other side was 24’ long. The asymmetry kept the cantilever balanced within a half segment, minimizing out-of-balance loads on the piers. Constant 16’ long segment lengths were used for ease of construction. Year-round cantilever construction utilized four traveling forms for the superstructure to meet the project schedule. The I-76 Allegheny River Bridge is the first cast-in-place concrete segmental bridge in Pennsylvania and features a 532’ main span across the Allegheny River. FIGG designed this bridge for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and provided construction engineering and inspection support to the Owner. #civilengineering #transportation #bridge #SegmentsFromThePast

A beautiful sunrise greets the #OHLAUSA project team as they start their workday at the Montebello Corridor Grade Separation project in Montebello, California. This contract is one of several Grade Separation procurements that OHLA USA has performed for the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments.   The project, which was awarded in 2023, calls for the construction of a bridge at the Union Pacific Railroad crossings at Montebello Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard, creating a roadway underpass at both locations. The contract will eliminate potential train collisions with vehicles since motorists will travel below grade while trains traverse the track unimpeded. The effort will also significantly reduce traffic congestion and emissions and enhance safety by upgrading signal systems and adding pedestrian crossings.   Located eight miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the grade separation requires the demolition and excavation of substructure elements followed by the construction of a steel girder bridge with concrete fascia and earth retaining structures. Also included is the installation of CIDH piles, abutments, and columns. To advance the project, the OHLA USA team will grade and prepare the site within the Union Pacific Railroad right of way, construct support of excavation systems, build roadway structural sections, and construct a temporary track detour to allow trains to remain operational through the construction zone. Extensive paving activities and concrete work for curbing, gutters, and sidewalks are also part of the contract.   #heavycivil #railroad #roadway #highway #gradeseparation #construction #weareOHLA #webuildexcellence 

An excellent choice for this challenging jobsite, Chance tieback anchors were chosen to tieback this concrete soldier pile wall. See how it was done in this interesting case study. https://hubs.ly/Q02gFg6X0

What's look like inside a (11.7 x 11.7 x 2.5m) pile cap supported on. 8-D1.5m bored piles. It is always a fulfillment to see our accomplishments after days of hard work. Salute to all construction workers out there. #Substructure #infrastructure

"To the untrained eye it may not look like much, but you can see a piece of groundbreaking concrete on Interstate 15 at Exit 80 in Fort Hall thanks to the work of researchers at Idaho State University. The new interchange features a precast concrete pier supporting the 222-foot long and 88-foot wide bridge spanning the Interstate. Unlike their cast-in-place counterparts, precast concrete components are cast off-site in controlled environments and transported to the construction site for final assembly. The pier is one of only a handful like it in the Gem State." #engineering #structuralengineering

Falkirk Wheel ( Scotland ) The two canals served by the wheel were previously connected by a series of 11 locks. With a 35-metre (115 ft) difference in height, it required 3,500 tonnes (3,400 long tons; 3,900 short tons) of water per run and took most of a day to pass through the flight. I love engineering solutions! #engineering #construction #insfrastructure
