A little #TBT, construction style. The Hoover Dam project. As the largest concrete structure ever imagined (at the time), the Boulder Dam as it was called was officially authorized in 1928. As you can imagine, the project was a first-of-its-kind in many different ways. Here are just a few stats on the magnitude of the effort. ONE model city built just as the HQ. FIVE years to construct. SIX different contractors. ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY degree peak temperatures. FIVE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED plus craft a peak. ONE HUNDRED & TWELVE confirmed dead in construction accidents, 96 of which happened on the site itself. Also, that doesn't include any deaths that resulted from pneumonia (reportedly 42 more). And one of the recorded deaths was simply a visitor to the site. It is easy sometimes to complain, or at least get annoyed by the safety rules and regulations that "hamper" or "slow" production. But when you're talking about over 100 lives, at the end of the day it's worth it. I've taken the Dam tour twice, and I would highly recommend it. I plan on doing a recurring series of TBT posts on fascinating historical projects, feel free to click follow if you want to come along for the ride. #Construction is cool, tell your friends! #capitalprojects #contech Kahua #constructioniscool

#Didyouknow? Pervious concrete is an ideal solution to mitigate flooding on parking lots, driveways, sidewalks & trails. It captures #stormwater and recharges groundwater by easily draining to the underlying soil. See this case study from Pave Ahead: https://lnkd.in/exX-7PTf

Before any demolition work begins, a thorough structural assessment is essential to understand the load-bearing capacity of the structure, the potential impact of its removal on the overall building, and the presence of any utilities or services within the structure.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         #Buildingdemolition #concretebreaking #concretecrushing #concretecutting #corecutting #industrialdemolition #factorydemolition #chimneydemolition #silodemolition #foundationdemolition #civilstructuredemolition #plantdemolition #silentdemolition #controldemolition #controlblasting #chemicalanchoring #retrofitting #civilalteration #civilrepairs #soilexcavation #rockexcavation #implosionblasting #implosiondemolition #piledemolition #highreachdemolition #shearcutting #structuralshearcutting #grouting #rockbreakeronrent #trandingposts

What is The Purpose of Concrete Barrier use on Roadways

Constructor failure demolition is the safe tearing down of a building or structure that is damaged and at risk of collapsing. This is needed when a structure is unsafe because of severe damage from events like natural disasters, construction problems, or other dangers. The main goal is to carefully take apart and remove the damaged building to avoid any further risk or harm. #Buildingdemolition #concretebreaking #concretecrushing #concretecutting #corecutting #industrialdemolition #factorydemolition #chimneydemolition #silodemolition #foundationdemolition #civilstructuredemolition #plantdemolition #silentdemolition #controldemolition #controlblasting #chemicalanchoring #retrofitting #civilalteration #civilrepairs #soilexcavation #rockexcavation #implosionblasting #implosiondemolition #piledemolition #highreachdemolition #shearcutting #structuralshearcutting #grouting #rockbreakeronrent #trandingposts

Building demolition refers to the deliberate destruction of a building or structure, typically carried out to make room for new construction, remove hazardous structures, or repurpose the site for another use. #Buildingdemolition #concretebreaking #concretecrushing #concretecutting #corecutting #industrialdemolition #factorydemolition #chimneydemolition #silodemolition #foundationdemolition #civilstructuredemolition #plantdemolition #silentdemolition #controldemolition #controlblasting #chemicalanchoring #retrofitting #civilalteration #civilrepairs #soilexcavation #rockexcavation #implosionblasting #implosiondemolition #piledemolition #highreachdemolition #shearcutting #structuralshearcutting #grouting #rockbreakeronrent #trandingposts

This plan includes detailed information about the building, site conditions, and the proposed demolition methods. It outlines the sequence of demolition activities, identifies potential hazards, and specifies the safety measures to be implemented.                                                                                                          #Buildingdemolition #concretebreaking #concretecrushing #concretecutting #corecutting #industrialdemolition #factorydemolition #chimneydemolition #silodemolition #foundationdemolition #civilstructuredemolition #plantdemolition #silentdemolition #controldemolition #controlblasting #chemicalanchoring #retrofitting #civilalteration #civilrepairs #soilexcavation #rockexcavation #implosionblasting #implosiondemolition #piledemolition #highreachdemolition #shearcutting #structuralshearcutting #grouting #rockbreakeronrent #trandingposts
