To enhance the Coney Island Boardwalk post-Hurricane Sandy, a new access point near the Cyclone Roller Coaster on West 10th Street was planned. Anticipating heavy foot traffic, a deep foundation system was necessary to support the design loads. MPS helical piles were selected for their minimal disruption to existing structures and pedestrian areas. Galvin Brothers Inc. successfully installed 161 helical piles, ensuring the new access point was ready for the summer of 2016. Read more on the case study at: https://lnkd.in/e49Cx_Ma

Shallow Mount Bollards – why do we need them? 🤔 Shallow Mount Bollards are perfect for application within security schemes that have very limited foundation depth available, such as bridge decks, suspended slabs and within cities where underground services are dense and close to the surface. By using shallow foundation bollards, you can forgo the need to carry out structural changes to your site, like arranging for underground services to be moved, which can be labour intensive and extremely costly, causing inevitable delays to a project. ATG Access offers a wide range of Shallow Mount Bollards, across a span of foundation depths and crash test certifications – helping you to secure your site, without worrying about the implications of limited foundation depth.

Why do we need Masonry Support? 🏢 Masonry support is necessary to provide loadbearing support for external masonry facades at horizontal movement joints. Customised support helps to prevent cracking in the façade due to several natural factors, such as heat and slab movement. 🔥 ↔ Here's the rundown from our CEO Henry Chart ✍

One of the great benefits of precast concrete is it’s resilient. Being resilient can offer a long service life, be low maintenance, and provide structural durability. DC Blox in Alabama is a great example of resiliency. The precast concrete shell provides blast security ratings and the ability to withstand 150 mph winds. Read more about this award-winning structure: https://lnkd.in/egZDung During PCI Precast Days, we will highlight a specific benefit of precast concrete. Stay tuned to read about tomorrow’s benefit, and follow #precastdays to see which plants are opening their doors. #howprecastbuilds #precastprotectslife #precastconcrete #precastbuilding #precastis #PCIprecastdays

What do you think of this tilting bridge? Officially inaugurated in 2001, the Gateshead Millennium #Bridge is the world's first and only tilting bridge and allows the connection between the shores of Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, in the north of England The structure, designed by WilkinsonEyre in collaboration with GIFFORD AND PARTNERS LTD, covers a total of 126 metres along the Tyne River and is reserved exclusively for pedestrians and bicycles. The main peculiarities of this masterpiece of #engineering lie both in form and operation. The bridge consists of two rigidly joined #steel parabolic arches that converge on a transverse cylindrical structure: one arch is intended for pedestrian passage and the cycle path for crossing, the other acts as a support and thins in the central part providing support for the path through 6-metre long steel cables. The entire #structure is characterised by a weight of over 800 tons. #structuralengineering #steelstructure For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔 and select “All”
