Did you know that as the BCCEI we have six Collective Agreements in place which protect both the employers and the employees in the civil engineering industry? Further information can be found on our website www.bccei.co.za #BCCEI #CivilEngineering #BargainingCouncil

Debunking the Myths: Understanding the BCCEI’s Role in #CivilEngineering "The BCCEI is vital in fostering stability and fairness across the civil engineering industry." – Lindie Fourie, Operations Manager, BCCEI - Bargaining Council for the Civil Engineering Industry In this article, we clear up misconceptions surrounding the BCCEI and explore how it ensures fair practices for everyone involved in civil engineering. Whether you're a contractor, employee, or industry stakeholder, understanding the BCCEI's role is key to navigating the future of civil projects. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dWAQjPA7 #IndustryStandards

Check out this awesome write-up Tighe & Bond did on me for a #ProfessionalLeadershipSpotlight. Big thanks to my firm for giving me leadership opportunities and for supporting my role in ASCE CSCE, and to my fellow Younger Members board!

Today we celebrate licensed Professional Engineers (PE) across the Country. It’s the stamp of a PE that sets a project into motion and begins the process of building America’s Infrastructure. #theDGLdifference #CivilEngineering #TransportationEngineering #TrafficEngineering #StructuralEngineering #SiteandFacilityDevelopment #ConstructionEngineering #LandSurveying 

Happy ASCE Day from #asceSTL! Today, we celebrate the civil engineers who help make our city – and the world – a better, safer place. Together, we’re building on a legacy of innovation and community impact that spans over 170 years. Here’s to the St. Louis engineers driving change every day! #asceSTL #asce #ascelocalnews #ascemademe #ascefoundation #civilengineering #construction #environmentengineering #geotechnicalengineering #materialsengineering #structuralengineering #transportationengineering #waterresources

THIS WEEK'S BTS EVENING LECTURE 📅 Thursday 12th December 🗺️ Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), 1 Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AA The last evening lecture of 2024 is being delivered by some of the team working on the HS2 Main Works Lots S1 & S2: Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture The lectures will focus on Cross Passage Construction including the use of Artificial Ground Freezing and be delivered by: 🗣️ Ala Hammad BEng MSc MIEI – Tunnel Agent, STRABAG UK 🗣️ Philip Allvey – Tunnel Engineering Manager, STRABAG UK 🗣️ David Terry – Lead Tunnel Engineering Manager, SCS JV This lecture will discuss an integrated method for safely constructing cross passages in challenging geological conditions between two Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)-driven running tunnels on the HS2 Project. Of the 20 cross passages to be constructed, 14 are utilising Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) and 3 are employing dewatering and depressurisation methods. Traditionally, AGF has been utilised primarily for rescue operations. However, its application within the UK has been limited due to cost and time constraints. The implementation of AGF on this project is the most extensive AGF application undertaken on a single project within the UK. Lessons learned from this approach will also be discussed, providing insights for future projects. Post-lecture food is sponsored by CK-Tech whilst the drinks are sponsored by Normet Group Follow the British Tunnelling Society for the latest insight on tunnel-related matters To learn about the benefits of joining the British Tunnelling Society click here: https://bit.ly/3r0MPoU #BritishTunnellingSociety #civilengineering #undergroundconstruction #tunnelling

Efforts to build a new bridge connecting Interstate 83 in Harrisburg with the West Shore and Cumberland County got a big boost after it was announced that Pennsylvania had secured $500 million in federal funding for the project. The $500 million investment will help cover the cost of an estimated $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion plan to replace the existing structure, which is 64 years old and deteriorating. State transportation officials say cracks in the structure may prompt weight restrictions, and the increasing need for repairs has prompted partial and full closures at times.

What is the state of the art in uncertainty quantification? How can we model uncertainties in Civil Engineering? We were pleased and honoured to have Professor Bruno Sudret (Chair of Risk, Safety and Uncertainty Quantification at ETH Zurich) giving a very interesting lecture in this topic for the fourth CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting 2024-2025. #uncertaintyquantification #modelling #ethzurich
