We are thrilled to share that our contribution to the Hornsey Depot Bogie Drop project has been shortlisted for the Innovation Award at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) London Awards 2024. This facility pioneers a cutting-edge approach to bogie replacements, greatly improving efficiency and reducing downtime. Its innovative design features an external crane system that effortlessly moves across three tracks, suspending trains for quick removal of old bogies and installation of new ones. This streamlined process not only boosts productivity but also sets a new benchmark in railway maintenance by minimising disruption and optimising operations. INVVU served as the Multi-Discipline Designer, Engineering Lead, and Principal Designer for the Bogie Drop Extension. Starting with site surveys and detailed design, the team secured final approvals within an accelerated 5-month timeline. The project required complex civil engineering with near-zero error tolerance, overcoming strict site and time constraints. Success was achieved through extensive R&D, specialist #collaboration, and #innovative temporary works solutions, leading to enhanced efficiency and #carbonsavings in train maintenance. #engineering #civil #structural #rail #complexengineering #teamwork #designers #constructionconsultants https://ow.ly/WRtI50T2QTX

Precision in Motion: Sliding an Underpass into Place with Engineering Excellence An impressive and efficient engineering feat involved sliding a massive concrete rail underpass into position using a method called box-jacking. This technique was employed for the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) expansion project at sites like Urban Avenue and Covert Avenue in New York. Instead of traditional bridge installation methods, which can disrupt train service for extended periods, the box-jacking approach allowed the 2,000-ton concrete structure to be slid precisely into place over a weekend. Hydraulic jacks pushed the pre-cast concrete box into the excavated area, with teams monitoring alignment down to millimeter precision. By minimizing disruption, this technique not only reduced installation time but also exemplified a modern approach to rail infrastructure that could benefit other projects nationwide. The successful use of this method demonstrates its potential for more efficient rail and road intersection upgrades in urban environments. video rights : Machinery Magazine #underpass #bridge #engineering #construction #civilengineering #civilconstruction #engenheiro #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

?? Terras-Tiefbau-Gruppe und Zeppelin arbeiten zusammen ?? The TERRAS Tiefbau Gruppe, a powerhouse network of 13 medium-sized civil engineering firms, has signed a groundbreaking partnership with Zeppelin Group to support infrastructure expansion across Germany. With a shared vision under the motto "Building Connections", this collaboration marks a significant step in addressing key industry challenges such as the skilled labour shortage and the push for digitalization. The framework agreement goes beyond just equipment supply; it establishes a strategic alliance where Zeppelin will provide the Terras-Tiefbau Group with flexible rental options, cutting-edge Cat technology, and custom-tailored services. This partnership strengthens the group's ability to tackle complex projects in civil engineering, foundation engineering, track construction, and more, while also bolstering their resource-sharing network across Germany. Dr. Dirk Sojka, CFA and Ralf Sojka, managing partners of #TerrasTiefbau, emphasized that this alliance with #Zeppelin is about unlocking synergies to enhance competitiveness and market presence. The partnership aims to create significant benefits for the group’s subsidiaries, allowing them to leverage Zeppelin’s advanced technology and responsive service, which are crucial for driving innovation and operational efficiency in #infrastructure projects. Founded just four years ago, the Terras-Tiefbau Group has expanded its sales volume from €15 million to €180 million and grown from 80 to 700 employees. With this new partnership, they’re set to amplify their impact even further.

Over 450 local residents have now registered support on the Council’s planning portal for Ballymore and Sainsbury’s Kensal canalside scheme using Just Build Homes. Each one setting out in their own words why they support it. It’s not a one off - across the country, on schemes of all shapes and sizes, people are using Just Build Homes to register support. We now have a suite of services in place to engage supportive audiences at all stages of the planning process - from Local Plan allocations, through pre-app to post submission. So how do we do it? How do we reach this audience? Here’s three tips. 1. Talk about housing. 2. Engage those most likely to gain. 3. Talk about what interests them. Come and talk to the Shared Voice and Just Build Homes team if you’d like to know more. Your communications should be about more than a tick box exercise, it should be about building advocates and allies.
