What a great night out at Law Rocks last night!

The Scala was taken over by some excellent legal bands. Music ranged from indie, songs from Shrek, and 80’s bangers!

Rock on 🤘🏻

Construction delays can be complex, contentious, and costly. Having someone who understands both the technical details and the legal process can make all the difference.

My background in engineering and project delivery gives me a real-world lens that adds value in disputes.

At Secretariat, I work with lawyers, contractors, and developers on delay analysis for adjudication, arbitration, and litigation.

I bring structure, independence, and deep project knowledge to help legal teams understand the causes and impacts of delay—and how to move forward

@pix3lpro @scotlandpage I understand that Loch Ness is very deep (200m+) which is why it has such a large volume.

@PeterBrophy10 He’s explaining that online abuse contributed to his breakdown yet here you are abusing him online. Also I’m not sure why you’re expecting an apology from him.

… or designed to withstand impact of a ship.

It also seems odd that at such a busy port, no protection barriers to the piers were installed.

The investigation will of course reveal more.

My thoughts on the Baltimore bridge disaster.

First, my thoughts go out to the families of those lost in the incident. Very traumatic and sudden.

Second, I understand that the bridge was built in 1977, so it’s unlikely that the design would have considered an impact…

[Sandy Webster @SWebsterCEng]

due to a ship of the size and weight of a modern container ship.

Bridges will be designed to take wind and water impacts and maybe some ship impacts to the base of the bridge. This impact seems to have been higher up. The ship hit steel members which would not have been able…

@BertDalziel When I would make a cup of tea for my Dad and perhaps didn’t top it up enough, he’d complain that I’d given him an Edinburgh cup of tea 😂

@JohnTuckersaur @RichardBlyth7 @watling_samuel the article itself states: “most co-ops own both the land and the building, there are exceptions. The exceptions are called “leasehold co-ops”

This doesn’t seem like a common ownership model. In the UK it is almost the only way to own a flat.

[Sandy Webster @SWebsterCEng]

@RichardBlyth7 @watling_samuel I would argue that demand to live in London enabled those mansion blocks requiring a lot of flats in a small plot of land. The same was achieved in New York and Paris without leasehold.

@elonmusk Huge achievement. Congratulations
