The Lane Construction Corporation’s Post

The Brandywine River bridge makes up a portion of the Delaware Turnpike, carrying I-95 traffic over the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Delaware. The bridge was constructed throughout the mid-1960s and, as it happens, the opening ceremony for the Delaware Turnpike was one of John F. Kennedy’s last public appearances before his assassination. When this project was in its planning phases, the structural engineers were tasked with analyzing the bridge using today’s design vehicle loads. The bridge contains two types of piers, hammerhead piers in the approach spans and arch piers in the middle spans. The structural engineers decided the strut-and-tie method was the most appropriate and accurate way to analyze these piers.

#CommitteeSpotlight History Committee - Bellevue: Built on the Whaling Industry Who could imagine that Bellevue owed its early economy to the whaling industry? Or that the construction of the Ballard Locks allowed one of the last commercial whaling fleets to winter in Lake Washington and contributed to the birth of the City of Bellevue, Washington. Two years after the Ballard Locks project was completed, the American Pacific Whaling Company moved from Gray’s Harbor to Meydenbauer Bay in present day Bellevue. American Pacific processed up to 450 sperm, humpback, and finback whales a year. Their fleet included 4 ships: the Aberdeen, Moran, Paterson, and Westport. They were one of the last commercial whaling fleets in the country.

🐍BROUGHTON CAPITAL VIEWS: PREVENTABILITY, CULPABILITY, IMPACT 🐷 🟩 DONALD BROUGHTON has interesting views as he is an expert on transportation especially materials requiring special handling. 🐷 HIS "PIG THROUGH A PYTHON" analogy means that a mega ship like the DIVA should never have been squeezed through what is basically a river and an inland bay. ⛴ NO TUGS WERE guiding the ship (!!!) which is totally anathema to marine logistics for a vessel of this size. Why not? 🌉BRIDGE REBUILDING not in his expertise, but it will take years. Distribution managers already rerouting and rendering this wounded port to the sidelines. #logistics #shipping #portofbaltimore #maersk #distribution #broughtoncapital #blackswan #resilience
