2015/09/24   1812 Constitution Bridge (La Pepa), opens to road traffic

Road traffic on La Pepa Bridge. This milestone of Spanish engineering represents an investment over 500 million Euros by the Ministry of Public Works. With a 540 m long central span and two 185 m tall towers. Oritia & Boreas has taken part of both the design and the monitoring of the works for the aforementioned bridge. In particular, and regarding the structural design, O&B has developed the full aeroelastic model of the structure and the aerodynamic performance analysis of the wind barriers. From timestamp 2:10 of the attached footage onwards recordings are taken from the boundary wind tunnel testing of the model of the structure that O&B conducted at the facilities of the Western University in Canada, official technology partner of O&B.

2015/08/14   Microburst Timelapse

A microburst is a very localized descending wind column originated inside a storm. As opposed to tornadoes, wind inside the microburst does not twist. Its average duration is in the order of 15 minutes. Microburst are a potential hazard for aircrafts, especially during landing. See the video for an example.

2015/07/14   The downdraught effect at 20 Fenchurch St.

The drowndraught effect or descending current effect affects skyscrapers with exposed flat surfaces. Wind hits the envelope of the building and a partially descends towards the base of the structure  where it can disturb pedestrians or even originate dangerous situations. At 20 Fenchurch St, London, the Walkie Talkie Building, a person passed away hit by a car overturned by this type of wind. Winds generated in the base of the building are becoming increasingly annoying for pedestrians. The Authorities have announced an investigation on the issue.

25/05/2015   1812 Constitution Bridge deck finally closed in Cádiz

The last section of the Cadiz Bay Bridge deck was erected and put in place. The 50m long-1000Tn heavy section was erected after 7 years of construction. Oritia & Boreas has played an active role during this years as it was in charge of the environmental and structural monitoring.
