VEGO Building System by MAH (My Affordable House): High-quality, energy-efficient, and robust building components produced at a rate of 20,000 square feet per hour.
Industrialized manufacturing looks much different and will give you speed and lower cost. You don’t get there by pre-assembling a steel frame and adding wall panels. Using a volumetric approach will not get you there. True industrialized construction needs to mass produce precision building components at the speed of 1000sf per hour. Those components are then shipped flat packed to the site and assembled super fast, no skill, no crane. The result is affirdable housing for less than $50 /sf. I don’t want to criticize your approach, the offsite industry needs to work together on standardization. We need to develop components which ca be used by anybody. I will help anybody which want to improve their operation, just ask. We all want the same thing, improve profitability and lower the cost of housing which has gone out of hand.
A few of the ICS team had a great trip to California Modulars yesterday to see their operations and brainstorm optimization approaches for in-progress LGS volumetric projects! Stay tuned for exciting project updates! #industrializedconstruction Matthew Comber, SE, PE John Jackson Mike Norris Jang Hyung Lee
Safety is one of WisDOT’s top priorities, which includes work zone safety and minimizing delays for the traveling public. To help achieve these goals, TADI collaborated with WisDOT on a comprehensive solution - a standardized tool designed to predict work zone queues and delays. It is named the Work Zone Traffic Analysis Tool (WZTAT), and it helps engineers and construction managers choose time periods for lane closures. The WZTAT comes equipped with numerous capabilities including: · annual volume imports · analysis of multiple lane closure scenarios · outputs for Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) · local road diversion volume estimates · Wisconsin-specific work zone capacity and queue models Please mark your calendars for April 23 where WisDOT, along with TADI's John Campbell, P.E., RSP2 and Christian Sternke, P.E., RSP2I will present the new tool at the ITE Traffic Engineering Workshop in Waukesha, WI. For more information about the tool, please visit this link: https://lnkd.in/gT3MxMZ3
Read CIHT’s 8 questions, where we ask senior figures in the sector the questions every business leader and ambitious professional wants answered. In this edition we ask Kier Transportation’s Senior Engineer - Bridge and Highway Structures, Josh Moorhouse, what is needed to deliver successful infrastructure projects. https://lnkd.in/g_DUf4QV
Join us on May 10th for our next AIA CES webinar! Building movements from wind and seismic forces can negatively affect architectural building components if they are not properly detailed and accounted for. Over time, the building code added several requirements for many of these issues. During this presentation, attendees will learn how building drifts are generated, how they influence architectural components, and we’ll review some practical solutions to mitigate these risks.

Transportation Engineer at TxDOT | Infrastructure Resilience Researcher
Bridge reports indicate that off-system bridges managed by local governments in Texas are underperforming compared to on-system bridges overseen by the State Department of Transportation. In a research study funded by the Research and Technology Implementation division of the Texas Department of Transportation, we examined the design, construction, and maintenance procedures for Texas off-system bridges to compile a set of recommendations aimed at improving how local governments manage their bridges. The results were collected from survey questionnaires and interviews with subject matter experts. Many thanks to Dr. Mohsen Shahandashti, the co-author and Principal Investigator of this project (TxDOT RTI# 0-7146). If you are interested in learning more about the research findings, please feel free to visit the following link to our recent publication in the ASCE International Conference on Transportation and Development, 2024:
