Management of Waste Generated from Building Demolition
Early buildings in America were primarily constructed of timber, stone, brick, and other materials readily sourced from the area local to the construction site.
Asbestos Surveys – Highlighting Inconspicuous Materials
Apart from owner-occupied one- to two-story dwellings where the owner performs work themselves, an asbestos survey must be completed whenever a project has the potential to disturb suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
Concrete Testing and Investigations to Support Structural Retrofitting
Certain concrete building structures may be retrofitted for purposes that differ from the original design.
Best Practices to Achieve Stabilization
Achieving Final Stabilization is one of the parameters required for terminating construction general permit coverage for a project site; therefore, it is beneficial to properly manage erosion and sediment control practices throughout the duration of the project to protect exposed soils from erosional elements.
The Benefits of Wave Equation Analysis for Driven Pile Hammers
Driven piles are a common and essential foundation system in construction, particularly when shallow soils are insufficient to support structural loads. By transferring these loads to deeper, more competent soil layers or bedrock, driven piles ensure the stability and safety of various types of infrastructure.
NYSDOT Materials Method 29, Updated April 3, 2025, and Standard Specification Section 703-02
In 2024, NYSDOT removed Magnesium Sulfate 10-cycle Soundness (NYSDOT 703-07P,G) completely from coarse aggregate source approval testing and replaced the test with Freeze Thaw of Coarse Aggregate (NYSDOT 703-08-2).
