Procore Technologies

What a project. This 130-year-old New York rail bridge was completely replaced without any major disruption to services – and it all came in UNDER budget and AHEAD of schedule. Join Fred Mills on the ground in Manhattan to see how Procore Technologies helped teams at Halmar International and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority pull it off 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebqUBVh4 #AD #infrastructure #construction #NewYork #rail #MakeConstructionFamous

That was mega! Huge thank you to everyone that came to The B1M's special Mega Builds event in partnership with Procore Technologies at the top of London’s 8 Bishopsgate skyscraper yesterday. It was an incredible day! We wanted to do something different with this event. We wanted to get beyond the headlines and the glossy renders, and hear directly from the people actually delivering some of the most ambitious construction projects on Earth – and we certainly achieved that. We unpacked three very different schemes, on three completely different continents. What united them was their immense impact, the extraordinary teams behind the scenes making them happen and their ability to speak not just to the best of construction, but to the capabilities of humanity in an increasingly challenging world. I was really struck by how the conversations kept coming back to construction technologies, physical and physiological safety, risk and, most importantly of all, the people and skills needed to turn enormous ambition into built reality.   We build extraordinary things. If we want to address the skill crisis, we should be far louder about it. I hope more people will follow The B1M's lead and help me Make Construction Famous. An extra special thanks to our speakers: ✅ The World's Biggest Infrastructure Upgrade Laura Mason, VP Capital Delivery at Amtrak, took us inside the extraordinary task of transforming the US Northeast rail corridor, all while keeping one of the country’s most critical pieces of infrastructure moving. ✅ The World's Longest and Deepest Subsea Road Tunnel  Anne-Merete Gilje, Project Manager at Statens vegvesen - Norwegian Public Roads Administration, shared what it takes to break new engineering frontiers on the Rogfast Tunnel project, deep beneath the Norwegian fjords to connect a nation. ✅ The World's Tallest Building Ian Norman Miller, Senior Executive Project Director at Saudi Binladin Group (SBG), gave us a rare look inside the construction of Jeddah Tower, a skyscraper that will see steel and glass climbs to heights never previously attempted. We even had The B1M’s large-scale physical model of the tower in the room.     #MakeConstructionFamous #architecture #engineering #construction #skyscraper #infrastructure #build

A trench gets backfilled once, and most teams come away with a few phone photos someone took from the edge. We are running a webinar tomorrow with two people who do it differently. Jan Ahner, a superintendent at Alvin H. Butz, Inc. and John McDermott, senior VDC manager at Kast Construction, scan trenches and in-slab sleeves before backfill with an iPhone. That record holds up six months later when a question comes up about what sits beneath the pour, in a way a photo album does not.
