Work life balance are essential for healthy living. Celebration of 'festival of colors aka Holi' at the onset of Spring in our NJ office is enhanced by multi colored staff participating in the joyous event.

On this day in engineering history in 1908, the Rotherhithe-Stepney tunnel under the Thames was opened!

Site Civil Engineering deals with feasibility studies and design for new development as well as expansion & reconstruction projects. Design documents are generated taking into consideration: site topography, availability and location of utilities, access and regulatory requirements, special land use regulations, and zoning and local ordinances.

Schiavone Constructors Company, LLC (SCC) retained DESI as subcontractor on a NYCDEP project to construct a 2.5-mile long bypass Tunnel on opposite sides of the Hudson River. DESI prepared a Soil Sampling Plan and a Spill Prevention Containment and Control Plan, performed soil characterization for off-site disposal of soils, and provided oversight for closure of a #2 Heating Oil Tank. DESI is conducting periodic residential well water sampling and monitoring. http://ow.ly/1DqA50zU0J2

Concerns about indoor exposure to mold and biological pollutants have been increasing as the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health effects and symptoms, including allergic reactions, infectious diseases, or toxic effects. DESI provides an assessment of the extent of the moisture problem, mold growth, and mold growth associated with human health effects.http://ow.ly/RcC150zU0I0

On this day in engineering history, the Apple II went on sale!

You can thank civil engineers for water slides! Without calculating the correct amount of water to discharge from the pumping system, waterparks wouldn’t be able to exist.

Distinct Engineering Solutions, Inc. (DESI) provided Environmental and Engineering support to Schiavone Construction Company (SCC) retained by the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) for the rehabilitation of the High Bridge. DESI performed worker exposure monitoring for silica during façade cleaning operations and recommended safe work practices and controls that minimized exposure.

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is an environmental engineering feat that uses UV light to kill microorganisms in water, air, and on surfaces.

On this day in engineering history in 1920, Marlan Bourns was born. He went on to invent the trimming potentiometer.

Distinct Engineering had the pleasure of working on the Jersey City Elementary School #3 site-civil and environmental engineering teams. The 2.8-acre site had previously been home to industrial buildings. http://ow.ly/tkXT50zHwWV
