Engineering Ventures

Clark Agnew, P.E. and Sara Dorr, E.I., took a trip to the VT State House last Friday to observe the Ceres statue raising.  They loved seeing their structural engineering design in action as the yellow temporary lifting steel structure and internal steel support mast provided enduring stability for her return home to the top of the dome. 

Once lifted and placed, the statue was connected to the refurbished dome with beefy (that’s a technical term!) steel plates and cushioned with neoprene pads.  Additional reinforcing  was added within the statue pedestal to keep her safely affixed for years to come.

Check out the very cool video at the bottom of this post!!

EV provided the civil engineering and permitting services for all phases of the Channing Cox parking lot improvements at Dartmouth College including 3 FocalPoint brand biofiltration systems with an expanded R Tank.  

Check out this great video of the installation of these new biofiltration systems.

“On Thursday, November 8, 2018, the Vermont and New Hampshire Sections of ASCE met at Hotel Coolidge for a joint dinner meeting to discuss the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) Forest Canopy Walk. With nearly 50 in attendance, Tom Weller, lead project architect of Weller & Michal Architects, and Chris Collier of VINS, presented on the inspiration and background of the VINS Forest Canopy Walk in Hartland, Vermont.” “The 300-foot-long canopy walk, which will begin behind the raptor houses, will be at an approximate elevation of 40 feet, give or take. It will lead visitors through a classic New England mix of hard-and softwood trees, and would offer views of the Ottauquechee River and Dewey’s Pond.” (https://www.vnews.com/VINS-plans-forest-canopy-12874819).

EV is providing the civil engineering and permitting for this beautiful outdoor project.

Matt, Peter, Alex, and Trish, were in good company last night networking at the UVM CEMS Networking Night. Thanks to the organizers and students for making this a fun event.

Another great project has come to life. The new GEOKON building had it’s groundbreaking ceremony in Lebanon, NH yesterday. Engineering Ventures provided the structural, civil and permitting services for this great project from programming though construction.
