Weekly Photo Contest: Construction

Taken January 7, 2015 with my Moto X 2014
no effects (except hdr)
zero edits

Shot this building under construction shared in the sunset located in Aventura FL (gps cordinates on google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/2...1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en&dg=dbrw&newdg=1).
Looked like a good idea for a shot at that time.

To get the job done you need the right tools! I snapped this shot of an air compressor at a construction project near my office on my Nexus 4 back when Image Blur was introduced on Kit Kat and applied HDR filter in Google Photos editor.

Photo was taken a little while ago on a humble HTC One V. A great camera but a largely forgettable phone.

Photo is of a building site which was taken over by a local restaurant. Space in Saigon is limited, and local restaurants grab any open space that they can find, be it on the sidewalk / pavement or in the rubble of a construction site.

This has been clicked via Samsung Galaxy S4. Living in Bombay, India, you can only see construction in nearly every direction you turn. The sky scraper being built and the road being constructed is taking place right where I stay. I have used HDR and Auto Awesome effect and sharpened the image a bit.

This is a Cat Plow. We use it for placing fiber optic cable out in stretches of desert or long spans out in rural areas. First we place the innerduct (the orange and black conduit) then we pull the fiber through it. This was taken with my HTC M8 and edited with the photo app. Nothing special.

Photo taken with an HTC One M8. I have used no photo editing on this one.

The picture is part of a massive project the company I work for has undertaken mitigating flood work in a down town amphitheater in Norther California.

Here is a photo taken with my LG G3 during a recent site visit for a project that I am involved with as a structural engineer.

This is construction of the first two towers (out of three total) for a new stage constructed four lane, two span cable stayed bridge that is being built near Nipigon, Ontario, Canada. The towers are large precast segments (for size reference, those orange blobs in the bottom right corner are people!) that are longitudinally post-tensioned together. Total height of the towers once completed is approximately 74m (aka 243 ft) from the ground level. Once the towers are installed, the deck will be constructed using the balanced cantilever method simultaneous with the cable installation, waterproofed, paved, and opened for traffic. Then the old bridge (the one immediately to the right of the towers in the photo), will be demolished and the third tower and second set of lanes will be installed.

This structure uses many advanced construction methods including precast high performance concrete (HPC) tower segments, precast HPC deck panels, Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) panel reinforcing, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) panel prestressing, Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) field cast deck joints, and a Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) bridge deck waterproofing.

This project is unique in that it is Ontario's only vehicular highway cable stayed bridge (and one of only a handful in the entire country) and, as far as I know, the only stage constructed cable stayed bridge in the world. I am pretty proud of this bridge and I can't wait for completion in 2017!

Taken at a little "skate spot" that is ALWAYS under construction. Someone is always adding/removind from it. Its a fun little place. Taken with an HTC One M7, Instagram editor.

I just find this humorous that the Maryland Wilderness exhibit at the Baltimore Zoo is a construction site. That's a realistic exhibit.
