ROCK BLASTING VS. HAMMERING: BEST METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTION EXCAVATION
We love watching stuff blow up – what a rush! Blasting in construction is an efficient way of getting a job site prepped. Using controlled explosives in the excavation has been a popular method for breaking rock for over a hundred years. The size of the rock you’re demolishing will dictate the velocity of the explosives. The harder the rock type, the higher the velocity.
3 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO REDUCE COSTS
There is so much for a PM to consider when managing a construction project. Establishing and maintaining effective monitoring and control protocols improves project success. With so many moving parts and the potential for changes arising at any point, how can you best monitor and control your job site?
BREAKLINES: WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT IN SURFACE MODELS
Breaklines are essential for creating a precise 3D surface model. Breaklines connect data representing specific features on a surface, such as the centerline of a road, a ridgeline, or a ditch's flowline. Whether to use spot elevations or contour lines to determine your breaklines is not always clear. Here, we help shed some light on the differences between contour lines and spot elevations and provide guidance on when to use which one.
ADA COMPLIANCE IN CONSTRUCTION: HOW 3D MODELING PREVENTS COSTLY MISTAKES
The American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is one of the most important considerations that must be factored into all construction projects, whether new construction or renovation. Numerous ADA guidelines must be followed when constructing, for example, sidewalks, ramps, parking spaces, or buildings. Not following them will result in hefty fines, which can reach as high as $150,000 depending on the number of violations.
3D GRADING MODELS: ECI & S&K CONTRACTING’S PARTNERSHIP
We genuinely value our client partnerships and want to share some of our experiences with you whenever possible through a Client Spotlight. In particular, we are working with a contractor out of Western Virginia, S&K Contracting Inc., that approached us recently about a subdivision project. Their enthusiasm for their work is contagious, and for that reason, we have decided to shine a light on them.
