My friend @Dicksondavid in #PortHarcourt #Nigeria is #LookingForWork - he has worked before in #foodservice and has skills as a #barber and interest in #CivilEngineering / #construction

If anyone from the area knows of opportunities (including assistance for interview travel expenses) and/or can advise how a young man in this can get genuine work (he has had previous issues with unpaid wages and paying for travel only to find there are 0 vacancies) it will be much appreciated..

Some states in America will do anything to avoid roundabouts!

#CitiesSkylines but realistic; you have to create propositions, get them past committees, make concessions, pay contractors, everything takes years to do, everyone hates you

Sounds like the right book at the right time. The field of Transportation Engineering needs to open up to more than just accommodating automobiles and delivery trucks. We need to put the needs of pedestrians and cyclists front and center in the design and decision process.

Offshore wind energy? Hell yeah! The University of New Orleans #UNO prepares to offer certificate programs in wind engineering, and the school’s inaugural Wind Scholars program was launched in September 2023.

Well, hi everybody. I guess I should do an introduction. Hi, I call myself Expert Plus, I am a 3D Artist (using a fork of Blender, known as K-CyclesX and Luxcore's Blender render addon), my avatar and banner are made by me. I'm privacy focused, so, if you are too, tell me, and I'll follow you :-) I've been on Internet since 2016. Joined Mastodon in 2021 but left it at the time. Now, I'm here :-) I would like to have some followers on here, I only followed back myself on my current Mastodon account. This website, I think, should be useful for Twitter migrants. I'm mostly spending activity at @expert , so to see me active, please follow it. Otherwise, I'll try to be active here as well :-) #privacy #b3d #blender #blender3d #fediverse #mastodon #twitter #twittermigration #mastodonmigration #introduction #art,#creativeart,#disability,#disabilityawareness,#Engineering,#CivilEngineering,#immigration,#migration,#refugees,#nature,#wildlife,#coding,#programming,#technology,#tech,#technews

'Around-the-clock repairs continue on the 10 Freeway Los Angeles — and Angelenos can now watch the work in real-time via live stream at FixThe10.ca.gov.'

The Tunnel of Eupalinos was built in the 6th century BCE in Greece. It's just over 1km long, goes through a mountain, and was built from both sides.

And! It was built as an aqueduct, so it has two parts; a footpath and a lower water channel. It was in use for a thousand years before the channel silted over.

AND! It still exists and can be visited and we mostly know about it and rediscovered it due to Herodotus mentioning it. How cool is this?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_of_Eupalinos

'Calendars made ...featuring gigantic cats overseeing construction projects are back, and this year they’ve also gone to the dogs. The Portland, Ore., branch of the Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to release the second edition of its pet calendars by midday Monday, in a follow-up to its viral social media campaign last year.'

(The calendars are a free PDF download.)

Hi, I'm Steven! new #introduction

I am a research scientist and lecturer at the #UniversityOfWashington #Seattle in #Hydrology #CivilEngineering #EnvironmentalEngineering .

My research involves #RemoteSensing of #snow, and I am interested in #AppliedScience for #ClimateAdaptations , #NaturalHazards , #WaterResources , #teaching and #OpenSourceSoftware .

Food for thought:

Why not build the long sought rail connection between Boston’s South and North Stations — finally connecting Amtrak’s east coast passenger rail service between Florida and Maine — not through downtown Boston, but through Logan Airport?

Hear me out:

Building the Ted Williams Tunnel (Mass Pike/I-90 extension) consisted of lowering prefab tunnel sections to the bottom of Boston Harbor. The Central Artery/I-93 depression (Tip O’Neill Tunnel) required constructing a tunnel in-place after massive utility relocation and while supporting existing infrastructure above — far more complex, far more expensive.

A direct South/North Station connection downtown follows the Central Artery method. Connecting the link through Logan Airport would involve harbor tunnels.

It’s a longer connection, sure, but it may prove less expensive. And Logan Airport could use a direct rail connection.

I’m not sure many people appreciate, or are even aware, that the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America is currently under construction between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario. Here’s an incredible video from the agencies responsible for building it.

Yankee | noun | 1a: a native or inhabitant of New England (Merriam-Webster)

Though not native, I grew up and continue to live in New England — “the hard, impenetrable core of the United States” as described by the late British journalist Patrick O’Donovan.

Married with two children, I am an Eagle Scout, a career Civil Engineer, and member of the United Church of Christ. My interests include American history (particularly the colonial and Revolutionary periods), transportation infrastructure, home improvement (electrical and HVAC), model railroading, Rock & Roll, art, science, moderate politics, and Christian Universalism.

What is #concrete made with? And how do we know that a concrete recipe will be strong enough to build safe bridges, freeways, buildings, and structures?

Civil #engineer Mimi Nwosu shares the answers to those questions in this #video visit to her lab at Portsmouth University. Plus: Watch her show Dr Shini Somara how concrete is mixed and tested.
