Find out what happens when William LeMessurier is faced with a huge moral dilemma long after the crucial construction mistake in the Citicorp Center, NYC, could have been rectified. His process of decision-making under the shadow of a potentially catastrophic act of nature should bring some light to the issue of integrity within the field of engineering. A must-watch for lessons on accountability and guts to own up to the mistake. An important story for all times, which shares the profound impacts of the ethical choice of professional practice. #structuralengineering #steelstructure

In the ever-evolving world of construction and structural engineering, leaders like John McErlean, P.E., C.E., S.E. propel us forward. As Principal, Founder, and CEO of Plan B Engineering, John's career is marked by resilience, creativity, and a commitment to excellence and societal benefit. John's path was shaped in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, a time that presented unprecedented challenges to the construction industry. The disaster highlighted the necessity for innovative and thoughtful approaches to construction engineering, particularly in dealing with structural stability and site safety in dense urban settings. Early exposure to these issues inspired him to tackle engineering problems with creative solutions, focusing on designing for risk rather than avoiding it. This approach laid the foundation for Plan B Engineering's ethos. The subsequent building boom in Manhattan further defined John's career and Plan B's trajectory. The city's push for super-tall skyscrapers and increasingly complex reuses of historic structures offered the perfect platform for growth. These conditions allowed Plan B Engineering to grow and evolve with the city, contributing to the next chapter in New York City's built history. Under John's leadership, Plan B Engineering has become synonymous with creativity, safety, and providing practical solutions to complex problems. John’s journey and the mission of Plan B Engineering remind us of the importance of considering the broader impact of our work on society and the environment, inspiring a commitment to responsible innovation that ensures the well-being of all members of society. Join us in celebrating his contributions and the continued success of Plan B Engineering.

The weekend is nearly here and with the forecast looking pretty grim we can't think of a better way to spend it than keeping warm indoors. Here is a beautiful image recently shared by The Bell in Charlbury. SOLID were appointed as Structural Engineers on its renovation. The gastropub is the latest addition to the Daylesford Stays collection. Our case study on the project is coming very soon. In the meantime why not check out The Bell for yourself? Planning your own renovation? Contact the SOLID team to learn how we can help overcome any structural challenges your project may face. #engineering #structuralengineering #engineeringchallenges

🚫 Silence, Suicide, or Acknowledgment... These were the options that William LeMessurier, a structural engineer, considered after forgetting to account for quartering winds during the design of the Citicorp Center in New York City. Watch this amazing story to learn from others' mistakes, and not your own.❌ #newyork #structuralengineering #civilengineering #construction #steel #design #steeldesign #buildingdesign #engineering #arhitecture
