Its Feedback Wednesday............................. 😎 Sometimes #BAMRitchies Material Testing Team doesn't get the recognition it deserves. After delivering an exceptional service at EDF Hinkley Point C it has now establised itself on an 80Km stretch of that linear construction project between London and Birmingham 😎 It has two bases delivering the earthwork and concrete testing to ensure right first time delivery for this under pressure project, meaning the teams have had to step up and deliver exceptional service non-stop in 2023. So its great to get this scored feedback back from our Client which demonstrates how well the team has delivered in the past year. Max score on each question is 10, Question 7 relates to design which is not applicable 😉 Well done Shahzad Asghar, Iain Ritchie EngTech TIMMM Jack Maxwell MIMMM and the team, all going above and beyond. #BAMRitchies are delivering actions not words and Making Possible #teamwork #feedback #laboratory #materialstesting #concretetesting

As we honor National Engineers Week, we turn our focus to water engineering and its impact on the everyday world around us. The work of water engineers provides the underpinning for almost any development project, delivering critical infrastructure and promoting economic growth. One example is in the City of Tracy, where the installation of a 6,300 gpm pump station and a partially-buried 2.0 mg concrete water storage tank on a two-acre site at Cordes Ranch provided the basic infrastructure. This enabled development of the entire 1,200-acre site into the International Park of Commerce, and the economic returns have been phenomenal. “The tax revenue from this development grew more than tenfold in a ten year time frame, while adding thousands of jobs,” recalls William James Miller, Jr, PE, manager of K+W’s Water Development Services. “All of it was supported by the water storage and booster pump station.” Water engineering projects are often the linchpins that determine a project’s initial viability; please join K+W in saluting water engineers and the economic impact they unlock as we celebrate engineers across the nation.

Meet the team. Today’s people spotlight features Andrew Treble , our technical director CoMade.        A highly capable leader with extensive industry exposure across mining, transport, renewable & utilities sectors, Andrew has a reputation for process excellence. We sat down with Andrew for a 'fast five' - five quick questions to share a little bit more about himself and what has been his most memorable project to date. Here's what Andrew had to share.       1. What is your favorite part of your role? The favourite part of my role is working with the awesome employees and partners we have at CoMade. Second to that would be taking a project from a preliminary design phase right through to construction and commissioning phases       2. What do you wish people knew about delivering major projects? Major projects are extremely complex and you can’t under-estimate the importance of having extremely competent people that have direct exposure to construction & commissioning delivery experience. By leveraging experienced personnel you will obtain years of lessons learnt, have the confidence to execute and reduce the cost/risk exposure.       3. If you had to choose a standout CoMade project, which one would it be and why? Melbourne Underground Rail Loop project is a favourite of mine and it is up there for overall complexity in brownfield underground rail system environments. With 24/7hr rail occupations spanning weeks at a time and continual weekend occupations, the CoMade team continues to deliver on its promise in what are considered very tight windows to undertake major construction activities. The main works for this project are being completed under target cost estimate (alliance contracting) which has allowed complete transparency with our client and has also assisted in creating a highly desirable workplace culture between our client and other sub-contractors who have been working in great collaboration to deliver this project. We’re extremely proud of the team that has been delivering the works since OCT 2022 incident and injury free and to program and budget!       4. If you weren’t leading from the front at CoMade what else would you be doing? You’ll most probably catch me out on a boat fishing or looking after my three gorgeous kids       5. What is your favorite quote and why? It doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you get there       Learn more about Andrew and connect with Andrew: https://lnkd.in/givVZ_-j       #comade #makingpossible #design #engineering #construction #commissioning #ourpeople

Testwood Water Supply Works: Continuation of the £40m capital maintenance scheme in Southampton including a new chemical dosing building and new abstraction flow meters. Testwood Water Supply Works is located near Southampton within the Southern Water region, supplying up to 80 MLD to around 176,000 properties in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The site was designed and built in the 1960s and consists of the following principal process stages; clarification (flat bottomed and Accentrifloc), filtration (rapid gravity sand filters) and disinfection, comprising super-chlorination, de-chlorination and ultraviolet treatment. The age and condition of some of the assets at this site present a significant risk to water quality and supply resilience. To address these risks, Southern Water initiated a programme of capital maintenance work to extensively upgrade the works in two phases - the Phase 1 Capital Maintenance Scheme is being commissioned, while Phase 2 will be delivered during AMP8. This article focuses on the new ferric/polyelectrolyte building and abstraction flow metering elements of the scope which were delivered towards the end of the Phase 1 project, to the dates agreed between Southern Water and the Drinking Water Inspectorate and Environment Agency respectively.

As we commence to take our first winter break since 2018, Matcon’s rock stabilization division reflects on the challenges and accomplishments from 2018 to the present at a Northern BC mega project. We quietly, respectfully, and safely executed our operations alongside some extremely talented Prime Contractors, Engineers and the Project Owner within some challenging environments. Over the next 10 days, I will look back, and post, some of the challenges and memorable moments that made our group tighter as a team. #healthandsafety #safetyculture #slopestabilization #rockfall #doitright #teamwork #goingaboveandbeyond #dedication #determined #geotechnicalengineering #civilengineering #constructionindustry #civilconstruction #construction #engineers #rockscaling #rockscalers #infrastructure #canada #canadian #europeanunion #britishcolumbia #determination #teccomesh #nevergiveup #successdriven #perseverance #team #geobrugg #engineeringexcellence #lngindustry #lngcanada #rockdrilling #ropeaccess #ropeaccesstechnician #slopestability #oilandgasindustry #oilandgas #failureisnotanoption #safety #safetyawareness
