Can you guess the location for this particular spot that we've worked on? Our case study will reveal all this Friday, but I've given you all a head start! ? 1. Built as far back as 1799, these docks were the largest and most expensive building project in the world at the time. They cost ￡82m in today's money — and stretched for almost a mile. When completed in stages over the next few years, the entire site encompassed 90 acres, including 35 acres of water, 50 acres of warehouse space, 2.5 miles of quays and jetties and seven acres of wine vaults. 2. In the 19th century the 'call-on' system relied on there being more dockers than there was work. Chaotic daily scenes ensued with thousands of men climbing over the heads of those in front to get chosen for work. A contemporary noted that, "Coats, flesh, even ears were torn off. Men were often crushed to death in the struggle". Those who were unsuccessful were said to be 'left on the stones'. Thankfully the great docker strike of 1889, involving 100,000 strikers, was the first time Britain's workers had organised on such a massive scale. The strikers successfully obtained a minimum wage of six pence an hour. 3. In the spring of 1970, community campaigner Ted Johns became fed up with the way the local council was treating this area — home to many of the docks. Johns declared the isle independent from the rest of Britain, and with him as its president, it was cut off from the rest of the city for more than a week. Now, who can tell me where this is...?? #AGS #AGSGroundSolutions #geotechnical #civilengineering #landscape #guessthelocation #geotechnicalengineering #structuralengineering #geotechnics #geology #surveying #geotech

Erress Ditch, Americas first RRIC, rapid rate infiltration channel, using an augmented permeability system as a vertical outfall to accelerate exfiltration in a flood mitigation design. Thank you Lumon May, Escambia County Commissioners District 3 for thinking outside the box to protect the citizens of our community and Jason Lashley PE of Sigma Consulting Group of Pensacola, Florida. PHI hopes this design will inspire other engineers to consider innovative technologies to break the historical cycle and culture of "putting" water somewhere, of "moving water horizontally" seeking an outfall to discharge. Infiltration BMP infrastructure, no matter the device, is a proven technology to supercharge the acceleration of water into soils. https://lnkd.in/e8dZKVEJ

Did you know that Waterford's programs include activities that are aligned with the latest research in early childhood education? Our approach is rooted in the Science of Reading, which not only helps children learn to read but also enhances their critical thinking and comprehension skills. Dive into our resources to see how we support every learner's journey to literacy success. ???? #WaterfordScienceofReadingSaturday https://hubs.ly/Q02xLDdJ0

Counties across the country are realizing the limitations of high RAP and RAS content in their asphalt mixes. This County Road in Alabama was overlaid with a high RAP and RAS mix just a few years ago and is already showing serious signs of raveling. Total Asphalt Rejuvenation applied Veritas Green? in the clear and black formulations to give the County Highway Superintendent two options that extend the life of the asphalt without significant interruption in traffic flow. Veritas Green?, an Aztec Asphalt Technology product, is a spray applied asphalt rejuvenator that dries to the touch in 30 minutes and is ready for traffic in about an hour. Veritas Green? penetrates deep into the surface of the pavement lowering the viscosity of the binder with no significant reduction in the coefficient of friction. Veritas Green? is non-hazmat and contains no solvents or VOC's. Rejuvenating your existing asphalt saves you a significant amount of money. It's an affordable alternative that maximizes the lifespan of your pavement, protecting your investment for years to come. #aztecasphalt #asphalttechnology #asphaltinnovation #asphalt #sustainability #pavementpreservation #roads #infrastructure #publicworks?#asphaltmaintenance

Saving the Century and Consumers Buildings from demolition was the right decision, because it unlocks the environmental benefits of reusing existing buildings while keeping Chicago—the city where the skyscraper was invented—economically and architecturally vibrant. I commend GSA leadership for conducting the Section 106 process in a manner that valued community input and for avoiding the potentially catastrophic precedent of needless destruction of buildings that were both savable and worth saving. THAT SAID, any rehab will go through Section 106. Anyone who wants to facilitate making these buildings “climate-smart” or converting them to housing should weigh in on THIS proposal, which aims to do just that, by October 9: https://lnkd.in/dvascnnY

??Happy Lincolnshire Day! ?? Famous for its stunning landscapes Lincolnshire is home to historic landmarks, beautiful coastlines ??, and delicious local produce like the iconic Lincolnshire sausage ??. But also, and what some may forget, it is famous for its contribution to the evolution of engineering ?and manufacturing. Did you know that Lincolnshire is home to the very first Norman castle built in England? Lincoln Castle??, constructed in 1068, stands as a testament to the county’s pivotal role in British history. These Norman castles, and let’s not forget, the majestic Lincoln Cathedral ?are both enduring symbols of medieval military engineering. Fast forward several hundred years and Lincolnshire is also the birthplace of the tank! The first tank, known as ‘Little Willie,’ ?? was developed and tested in Lincoln in 1915. This groundbreaking invention marked a significant advancement in engineering and manufacturing, revolutionizing warfare and significantly impacting the outcome of World War I ??♂?. Since, the counties manufacturing has diversified across multiple industries including machinery, aerospace ??, defense, pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages, generating thousands of jobs ??♂?. Lincolnshire’s legacy in Engineering and Manufacturing is profound and continues to drive innovation and growth. #LincolnshireDay #Engineering #Lincolnshire #Manufacturing #WorkingForYourTomorrow #Hays #EngineeringJobs #ManufacturingJobs
