Geotechnical Engineers Work on Everything from Skyscrapers to Spaceports!

The field isn’t just about buildings and roads. Geotechnical engineers are involved in:

Designing foundations for offshore wind farms
Preparing launch pads for space missions
Building tunnels, dams, mines, and even underground cities
🚀 Bonus Fact: NASA studies the mechanics of lunar and Martian soils — a form of “exo-geotechnical engineering” — for future space habitats.
Florida's new $15.1 billion transportation budget for fiscal year 2025-26, supported by FDOT, allocates $13.7 billion for infrastructure projects. These include significant investments in highway construction ($5.4B), resurfacing ($1.5B), bridge work ($961.2M), and other areas like rail, aviation, seaports, and trails. The budget also funds safety initiatives and local grants.

Additionally, Senate Bill 1662 introduces policy changes to prepare Florida for future transportation needs. Key provisions include:

1. Establishing the Florida Transportation Research Institute (led by UCF)
2. Creating a Transportation Academy for workforce training
3. Developing new funding for spaceport infrastructure and protecting space-  designated land at seaports
4. Creating a state plan for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
5. Authorizing the construction of vertiports for AAM testing

Throwback to July 9, 1877! 🗓️ It was on this day that the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London, hosted the very first Wimbledon Championships. This wasn't just any tennis event – it was the world's inaugural official lawn tennis tournament, later cementing its place as the first-ever Grand Slam "Major." Incredible how far it's come!
What structure notorious for its 3.97 degree tilt is the freestanding bell tower of a cathedral in its namesake Italian town? The structure's tilt comes from the soft ground of its unstable foundation.
