Improving operational visibility through integrated power and process monitoring
Electrical infrastructure is becoming more complex due to renewable integration, decentralized generation, high-speed automation systems and growing use of power electronics.
Austria’s Semmering Railway: A landmark achievement in civil engineering
The leap from pioneering flat tracks made of iron rails across tame English farmland to carving switchback-free routes through Austrian mountains was nothing short of, well, radical.
Spain to Morocco mega tunnel: 60 km to a new era of trade
It's envisioned as a rail connection, integrating a modern, high-speed service that will convey passengers and freight between Europe and Africa via an underground railway system.
The tram, a model of sustainable transport
While they once fell out of favor to make room for the bus and car, trams seem to be making a comeback. And are increasingly autonomous, to boot.
The monumental engineering behind London’s $25 billion Elizabeth line
By the numbers, the underground railway link, aka The Crossrail Project, adds 26 miles (42 km) of new tunnel under Central London Eight Herrenknecht TBMs (Tunnel Boring Machines) took charge of tunnel cutting duties.
Recycled tires boost railway track strength while cutting waste
To confirm the effectiveness of these tire-derived rubber shock absorbers, the team installed track sections with the rubber underlay alongside conventional track sections at a live Sydney Trains freight line for a direct comparison.
Danfoss launches portable ET500 Crimp Machine for safer, easier hose maintenance in the field
The compact device is intended for markets such as material handling, industrial, construction rental equipment, railway and mining among others.
ASCE: America's infrastructure gets a 'C' in 2025 - what it means
Across 18 sectors, the Report Card is the ultimate summary for civil engineers to understand the infrastructure across the country.
When ambition derails: The true cost of HS2
As an example of civil engineering and government oversight gone awry, we suspect no one is in a hurry to repeat this multi-billion sterling pound debacle.
Switzerland's high-tech GoldenPass Express train
Essentially, the train approaches Zweisimmen Station at 15 km/s, the transition zone is entered and the moving components in the bogie mechanism are unlocked.
Everything right - and even more wrong - with The Line megaproject
Two 1,600-ft tall, 105-mile-long skyscrapers are being built in Saudi Arabia, which will make heavy use of AI, digitalization and mobility technologies. What could go wrong?
Los Angeles is in a 4-year sprint to deliver a car-free 2028 Olympics
With the Olympic torch extinguished in Paris, all eyes are turning to Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics. The host city has promised that the next Summer Games will be “car-free.” For people who know Los Angeles, this seems overly optimistic.
The famous 'Chunnel' between U.K and France turns 30
It has been 30 years since the Channel Tunnel started transporting speedy trains under the English Channel. Time flies when massively successful engineering feats are changing the world.
These robots are cleaning up after us
Follow along with GlobalSpec as we review robots designed for picking up after us — whether it’s in our homes or out in the world.
Composite insulators: Unsung heroes of electricity transmission
Better power transmission efficiency over longer distances with less energy loss and cheaper costs is achieved by their exceptional weather resistance, which lowers leakage current.
Exothermic welding applications
What are some well-known uses for exothermic welding?
AI is making China's high-speed railway more efficient
The AI system, which is located in Beijing, China, has a high accuracy level of roughly 89%.
MX90 Mobile Mapping System launched by Trimble
This immersive data can reportedly be processed to extract a range of deliverables for feature detection, inspection tasks and more.
Charging solution for electrified mines
Charging solutions for high-performance commercial vehicles and mobile machinery will be key players in powering a shift toward sustainable mining practices.
