Had a fantastic turnout for our Lunch & Learn, where Ash Gardner and I presented on civil design of traffic barriers for structures, based on DTP’s Bridge Technical Note BTN-001. Key topics covered included: • Structural Barrier Performance Level Assessment • Determining Extents of Off-Structure Barriers • Design Considerations for Road Safety Barriers • Application of Traffic Barriers for Retaining Walls We also discussed lessons learned from past projects and clarified some uncertainties in the barrier design process. It was a valuable opportunity to enhance coordination between civil and structural engineers, ensuring smoother collaboration in future projects. Looking forward to putting these key takeaways into practice with the team! #WGA #Engineering #WGAcivilonthemove

Finally! Full release of our guidebook on module transportation engineering. With energy projects constantly chasing economies of scale, highly interdependent stakeholders and assets keep growing in number. How do you optimize the design of your assets in terms of the costs and risks while also accounting for contracting and planning? By giving an overview of the transportation engineering challenges, we aim to assist project managers in solving this complex problem.

Overcome modular construction challenges with smart engineering, early planning, and logistics—explore key insights in our latest guide. TWD!

Facing challenges in modular construction? The rise of modular construction offers incredible benefits—speed, cost savings, and efficiency. However, these advantages come with new engineering and logistical hurdles. The guide delves into transportation engineering complexities, such as managing load cases and ensuring modular designs meet marine standards. Key topics include: 🔹 Method engineering to balance modules, vessels, and infrastructure 🔹An overview of all critical load cases 🔹Impacts of overconservative accelerations 🔹Connection design considerations for sea transport Learn how early-stage planning, strategic engineering, and smart logistics can help you overcome these challenges and maximize your modular construction projects. 🔻 Download now: https://bit.ly/3ChIwuX #TWD #Engineering #Module #Construction #Guide

Earthworks are a key feature of most construction projects, and when delivered successfully are largely unseen. However, poorly designed or constructed earthworks have been consistently shown to be a major cause of delay and expense on projects often requiring complex and costly remedial measures. Attend our earthworks training course on 10-11 June to avoid common pitfalls and gain a comprehensive understanding of how to deliver successful ground engineering projects. https://buff.ly/3k3McUx

From biscuits to automobiles, building things in factories can have many benefits. Applying this methodology to the construction world is gathering pace.

The GSA picked HENSEL PHELPS for a $274.7 million design-build contract to expand a border station in Douglas, Arizona. The New Douglas Commercial Land Port of Entry project is funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the agency. In all, the GSA plans to upgrade 38 federal land ports of entry along the United States’ northern and southern borders using $1 billion in IRA and IIJA funds, with the goal of modernizing the facilities while boosting domestic clean manufacturing and sustainable technologies. The agency aims to use low embodied carbon asphalt, concrete, glass and steel materials for the Douglas project, which will be designed to achieve LEED-Gold standards.
