Our Modern Relationship with Drones

In the engineering industry, every project presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Engineering managers are at the helm, steering their teams through complex processes, tight deadlines, and high stakes. One of the most powerful tools available to these...

Accessibility in the built environment is more than a compliance checkbox; it is about creating spaces that serve everyone. Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), engineers and designers have been tasked with ensuring that parking lots...

Concrete is one of the most reliable materials in modern construction, valued for its strength, durability, and versatility. However, even the best-designed concrete structures can develop cracks over time. These cracks are not always a sign of failure but rather...

The foundation is the backbone of any structure, whether it’s a modest house or a towering skyscraper. For commercial buildings, the integrity of the foundation is paramount, as it ensures the safety and longevity of the structure. Foundation problems can...

In the ever-evolving world of land surveying, the integration of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the industry. Traditional methods, while reliable, are often time-consuming and labor-intensive. The advent of autonomous drone operations and AI-driven data processing is revolutionizing...

In today’s construction industry, the demand for accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness is higher than ever. As projects grow more complex, the tools engineers use must evolve. One of the most revolutionary advancements is 3D models derived from photogrammetry and LiDAR...

Subsurface or Borehole investigation, a fundamental aspect of geological and geotechnical engineering, provides crucial insights into subsurface conditions, aiding in the design and construction of various civil engineering projects. From skyscrapers to transportation and utility infrastructure, understanding the geological makeup...

As the leaves change and the temperatures cool, the fall season presents unique opportunities for land surveying, particularly with the integration of drone technology. Harnessing the benefits of fall conditions can lead to more precise data collection and efficient project...

Stormwater management is a critical component of site/civil engineering that ensures new developments are not only functional but also sustainable and compliant with environmental regulations. As urbanization accelerates, managing the runoff from rain and snow becomes increasingly vital to prevent...

Sinkholes represent a significant geological hazard in the Northeastern United States, posing threats to infrastructure, property, and public safety. From the karst landscapes of Pennsylvania to the urbanized areas of New York and New Jersey, various factors contribute to sinkhole...
