After a long effort locating Utility Protection Structures, I realized how much the degree of skewness impacts corridor alignment. And the result? Redesigning them. That means I have to change not only the LISP routines, but also the plan itself to adopt the right skew angle. But redesigning for what technical necessity, or because attention wasn’t paid in the first place? #CivilEngineer #UtilityManagement #TransportSystems

Advancements in pavement testing are transforming how agencies uphold safety, manage costs and certify quality — and Atlas is helping lead the way. In this episode, Baron Colbert, Ph.D., Senior Engineer at Atlas, shares the human and technical sides of updating legacy infrastructure standards. From award-winning innovations like the Stop-and-Go Inertial Profilers to research that streamlines testing and reduces costs, Baron offers a fresh perspective on collaboration, safety and challenging the status quo. It’s an inside look at the roads we rely on and the engineers working to make them safer, smoother and more sustainable. 🎙️ Listen now: https://loom.ly/lKrv06Q Help us spread the word by sharing the episode with your network. #EngineeringExcellence #PavementTesting #Infrastructure #Innovation

Rapid Align™ – Smarter Continuity in Slope Monitoring Frequent redeployments no longer mean starting from scratch. Rapid Align™ is Reutech’s automated alignment feature that eliminates the need to redraw scan regions or recreate settings every time a radar is moved. Once the MSR is geo-referenced, scan regions and data realign automatically, keeping your original database intact. Key benefits of Rapid Align™: • No need to create a new database after each move • Historical data and alarm thresholds are retained • Scan regions can be extended or reduced without losing past movement history • Enables long-term monitoring with improved trend visibility Some deployments run for weeks. Others for years. With Rapid Align™, the full story remains in view, supporting informed decisions over time. #ReutechMining #SlopeMonitoring #RapidAlign #RadarTechnology #MSRModular #GeotechnicalMonitoring #MiningInnovation #ReutechAustralia

When unexpected sink holes appeared at the Muskingum County Jail site, Granger’s Visual Capture team turned to drone-mounted Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to find answers. The scan revealed an undocumented dump pit and a suspected abandoned coal mine shaft—critical insights that helped the team and client protect the integrity of the project.

5 field-proven ways to reduce blast surprises Blasting is never just about detonation. It’s about what happens after—vibration, fragmentation, flyrock, fines, delays. And in many cases, the problem starts before the blast even begins. Here are five ways experienced teams cut down post-blast problems before they escalate: 1. Use VoD to validate timing sequences early - Don’t rely solely on design software. Track the actual detonation velocity and adjust with data, not guesswork. 2. Sensor placement beats sensor quantity - A few well-placed vibration or overpressure sensors often provide more usable insight than a dozen thrown across the site. 3. Track stemming quality and length - Poor stemming can spike flyrock and airblast issues. Make it part of your standard inspection checklist. 4. Time-mark high-risk areas for review - If you’re working near structures, high walls, or underground openings, flag that footage for frame-by-frame post-blast review. 5. Share post-blast data with drillers, not just engineers - When drillers see how holes perform after detonation, accuracy improves in future rounds. At ShotTrack, we’re seeing more crews treat blast analysis as a team sport. When everyone gets the feedback, the entire cycle improves. #blastsafety #miningoperations #vibrationmonitoring #blastperformance #ShotTrack

Pinpointing leaks accurately can save significant time and resources. This involves using sonar equipment to listen for the specific gurgling sounds produced by a mixture of air and water being fed through isolated lines. The frequency jumps on PDA remotes, allowing professionals to confidently identify the exact location of the leak. It's a testament to the power of precise technology in addressing complex problems. #leakdetection #sonartechnology #watermanagement #innovation #engineering

Did you know that you are required to have the LARC drawings of your racks on hand? In this expert webinar snippet, our chief engineer explains why today’s rack systems must be fully engineered and analyzed, especially under the latest seismic codes. 🎥 Learn why seismic forces, out-of-plumb effects, and impact loads must now be factored into every rack analysis—and why this matters more than ever. #WarehouseSafety #RackEngineering #SeismicDesign #Prevention #RackSafetyStandards

With satellite and aerial imagery plus derived overlays, you can verify phase boundaries, quantify work completed, and confirm site status on a time-stamped map, without waiting for a site visit. “Phase 1 complete” stops being an estimate and becomes a measured area with supporting imagery. The impact: faster approvals, fewer disputes, clearer hand-offs, and an auditable record for owners, contractors, lenders, and insurers. Use cases include phase acceptance, earthworks volumes, access checks after weather, and compliance evidence tied to contract milestones. To implement, define the level of detail (fit-for-purpose resolution), cadence (weekly or event-driven), and delivery medthod.

Real-time underground data is changing how we blast Until recently, most underground operations relied on surface setups, manual downloads, and pre-blast estimates to monitor performance. It worked well enough for the time, but results were often delayed or incomplete. That’s no longer the case. Robotic systems can now enter active headings and collect real-time blast data. Timing, VoD, vibration, and overpressure can be logged safely, without stopping production or sending a crew in. The data flows directly to analysis tools while the drill cuttings are still fresh. This shift does more than improve safety. It shortens the feedback loop. Crews can validate patterns faster. Engineers can adjust timing before the next round. Sites spend less time waiting and more time optimising. At ShotTrack, our tools are already designed to plug into this reality. Devices like the VoD-305 and ViB-Pro can record and deliver usable data from rough environments, without needing lab conditions. When paired with field-calibrated setup and remote syncing, they make real-time insight possible across complex underground networks. This is how a blast becomes part of a living system, not just a one-time event. With the right tools, your blasting strategy becomes smarter each shift, not just each month. #blastmonitoring #undergroundmining #fieldtech #mininginnovation #ShotTrack Image By Calistemon - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://lnkd.in/gAjdt4pn
