#Gabion130📍Bologna, Italy 🛣️ The construction of the Variante del Valico, a new section of the A1 Autostrada, aimed to enhance #transportation connectivity and #safety along the major north-south Italian highway. ➡️ In an area known for steep hillsides, rocky outcrops and geological complexities, we played a crucial role in the design and supply of materials for #retaining works, #hydraulic protection and #rockfall protection: our #environmentally friendly engineering solutions were pivotal in addressing the challenges posed by unstable soils, erosion and landslides. ✅ Our expertise ensured the #safety and #stability of the highway through the implementation of advanced retaining systems, #gabion structures and protective barriers, providing essential solutions for ground reinforcement, water management to prevent erosion and rockfall protection to safeguard the mountainous slopes. 🌱 Our solutions also help mitigate the project’s impact on local #ecosystems, preserve #biodiversity and protect #habitats, representing the harmonious convergence of the engineering world with environmental consciousness. #SustainableConnectivity #OurLegacyInEveryTwist #MaccaferriWorld

A Time-lapse video of #Dam #Removal (Copco2) Witness the stunning 5-month deconstruction of Copco2 through 15,000 images! Explore the grand transformation of this first and smallest #dam of the four slated for removal by October 2024. It signifies the most extensive #river #restoration project in history and is a key element of a 6-year independent future film, "Undamming Klamath". Could you please tell us a bit about the positive and negative consequences of a #dam #removal project? Could you please explain how a #dam #removal project in your country/hometown has brought benefits in various sectors within your country? ✔ To find out more interesting clips, check out Emad Khanahmadi's profile.

🐜 Unveiling the Eastern Subterranean Termites 🐜 Meet the tiny yet formidable Eastern Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) – silent invaders lurking beneath the soil, posing a significant threat to wooden structures across the eastern region of North America. Thriving in warm, humid climates, these termites can adapt to various environmental conditions. From Ontario, Canada, to Key Largo, Florida, their distribution spans the entire eastern region of North America. Nestled underground, they construct intricate tunnels and mud tubes, providing access to above-ground food sources while maintaining a humid environment essential for their survival. The economic impact of eastern subterranean termites is significant, with repair costs, decreased property value, and business losses attributed to their destructive feeding habits. Let's shed light on these underground architects and work together to fortify our structures against their silent invasion! 🌱 #termites #subterraneantermites #termiteswarming #pest #pestcontrolservice #pestcontrollife #pestcontrolexperts #pestcontrol

Co-Founder, CTO | Revolutionizing the Concrete Industry | Creating Tech Products Customers Love | Forty under 40 | Globe and Mail's 50 Changemakers
Beyond construction sites, concrete is driving innovation that can protect marine life and coastal communities for future generations! Researchers at the University of Miami have developed a new kind of artificial reef called Seahives. These 18-foot-long, hexagonal-shaped hollow tubes are stacked in pyramid-like shapes on the seafloor just offshore. The perforated 2,500-pound concrete structures allow seawater to flow through them. The aim is twofold: + To dissipate wave energy and slow down potentially destructive waves before they hit the shore. + To provide a hospitable environment for corals or mangroves to grow. https://hubs.ly/Q02nBN390 #artificialreef #innovation #coralconservation #sustainability

Discover how this case study explores innovative tandem lift techniques which enabled the seamless installation of 220-ton bridge girders in the Rocky Mountains, transforming the landscape of the TransCanada Highway! #BridgeEngineering #Spannovation #BridgeDesign
🔍 Fascinating case study in our latest technical post 👉🏼: https://lnkd.in/gJcUfvac 🏗️ We explore the innovative tandem lift approach used to erect 80m long bridge girder pairs, each weighing a hefty 220 tons! ⛰️ The site, located near the Kicking Horse Canyon Route in the Rocky Mountains, features dramatic slopes that prevented access along the span. 👀 Learn how strategic crane placements on the existing bridge and a carefully sequenced series of steps led to the installation of three girder pairs during just three night closures of the TransCanada Highway. 🌉🌙 #bridgeconstruction #bridgeengineering #constructionengineering #constructionexcellence #constructionengineer #bridgeengineer

"In the so-called critical sections of the river, intensive morphological changes are observed and the trajectory of the shipping route often changes. Forecasting sediment movement would help: For timely moving of the marking signs according to the greatest depths. To assess the need for future dredging activities. To assess the needs for trawling and cleaning the waterway. To design engineering facilities. To select a location for seizing alluvial deposits from the Danube River for commercial purposes. For all permits related to the use of a water body, predicting the location of anchorages, winter shelters, etc." https://lnkd.in/dNdbR9zM

🚗 Pavement of Auto Tour Route - Manzanar National Historic Site 🚗 HECO Engineers play a role in enhancing National Historic Sites like the Auto Tour Route in the Manzanar National Historic Site. Visit their website: https://lnkd.in/gjayQDfK HECO Engineers managed the rehabilitation of Manzanar National Historic Site's 3.1-mile Auto Tour Route, which follows the perimeter of the former World War II camp. Preserving its historical significance, the route was paved with hot mix asphalt and chip-sealed to resemble its original macadam surface. Sensitive cultural resources were considered during design, and improvements were made to accommodate large vehicles. Additionally, storm drainage solutions were implemented to minimize future damage caused by stormwater. 👀 Check out our Project Page: https://lnkd.in/dSPsEhFg #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Construction #WaterResources #CivilEngineerLife #NationalParks #SustainableDesign #StructuralEngineering #WasteWater
