Assessment Software

Welcome to This Week in Civil Engineering (TWiCE), the first weekly audio and video podcast covering weekly news stories and events related to civil engineering and its sub-disciplines. In this week’s episode, we provide you with the latest news in the Civil Engineering industry including covering how the founders of Niricson, a Victoria. British Columbia-based Technology Company have developed a novel drone-based collection and damage assessment software system to inspect and detect problems with aging infrastructure. We also cover how Thornton Tomasetti’s CORE lab, designed a computer vision, machine-learning algorithm that can identify damage to building exteriors in photos or video.

Career Inspiration of the Week:

This project is what inspired me to take on a career in civil engineering –  A 50-kilometer railway channel tunnel that links to the UK was first designed in 1802 and the first excavation attempt was made in 1880 but was then abandoned. Restructuring started in 1987 and was finished in 1994. The tunnel boring machines were laser-guided and when the two tunnels were a hundred meters away from each other, the lateral offset was only 380 millimeters.

Quote of the Week:

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”~ Booker T. Washington
