The Grand Canyon Skywalk – USA/Colorado

Uncategorized No Comments »

The Grand Canyon Skywalk The glass bridge which is suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon.

The construction began in March of 2004. On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more than 71 million pounds.)

The bridge is able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel has gone into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

ASDD-Founder interview (Eng.Ahmed S. D. Dalloul)

ASDD-General, Uncategorized No Comments »


Dear All,

We are glad to interview Eng.Ahmed S. D. Dalloul (asdd-engineering.com Founder) who finally accepts this interview to be posted to public… The interview will be in Question/answer style…conducted by: Jinnefer Robertson (CEO)

Q01: Who are you?

A01: My name is Ahmed Saleh Deeb Dalloul. I was born at Qatar and completed all my studies at Doha. I graduated as civil engineer with intensive knowledge in: (Structural/Geotechnical engineering & Management). Iam  holding ASCE Associate membership since 2003 and graduate membership in ICE since 2008. I am a karate player, sportman, and non-smoker. I do love green areas and natural views, so I go off-road from time to time..

Q:02: Can you tell us what are your favoriates things? (Hoppy – Book – Story – Novel – Singer – actress – ect…)

A02: Okey… Hoppy (I have no idea, but I like to take photos, and creating media clips)… Book or novel (David Copperfield for Charles Dukins)… Singer no one specific but I like Celine Dion voice… Actress I think most of my firends know Nicole Kidman & Jinnfer Aniston…. My favoriate drink is strong coffee… My favoriate flower is Blue Rose & Lilies… Favoriate car is Mercedes Benz CLS class which makes me smile every time I see it… Favoriate sport car is Enzo Ferrari no doubt…My favorite movie is Serendipity…

Q03: According to your linkedIn profile, you have a very starnge, diverse experiences… How?

A03: Being an engineer, does not mean to call-off all of your other skills like sports, photography, grahics, web design since it’s part of you… it’s the opposite, you have to develope it and keep it since it’s you way-out from your regular daily life… It helps me to keep my mind fresh and sharp…

Q04: What is your happiest moment in your life? and the most sad moment as well?

A04: Life is changing every second… so no one can tell the right answers for those two questions… However, up to date the happiest moment was when I got out one peice out of my car turn-over due to flat tyer… but the most sad moment was when my father got up from the second brain stroke, and he didn’t know who am I for almost a year… Trust me, it’s painfull when someone you do care about and love treats you and look at you like a stranger…

Q05: Why did you create the web site? where does that idea come from?

A05: I worked once I graduated, but due to wrong choices I made, I end up with being unemployed for almost 5 months where I started to look for jobs or vacancy, but freelance work started to come over and I liked it… so it comes to my mind how can I make my service or expeirence as well accessable to all people and engineers so I might have either a permentant job or a freelance work. However, I was lucky and I got a permentant job where I felt that engineering info and knowledge are not easily transfered or shared due to many sick mentalities which are still exist. I decided to share my own knowledge with all levels of engineers and share what I know with others. Many people said I am crazy and you have to keep the secrets of your success…

I can not deny that many engineers from leading companies, offices, organizations, locally and internationally took advantage of the shared info and make it for themselves where I know them one by one tracked by our system. However, I feel sorry for them where they forget one thing that the world is changing in very fast rate.

Honestly, when I see a smart fresh graduate, where he straggling to get experience I know he has a bad supervisor or a mentor who does not want to share info and experience to secure his job. That concept drive me to create asdd-engineering.com to share knowledge and make it for every one who wants to gain info…

Many engineers thinks that we are an electronic magazine which again shocks me when it comes from a leader in engineering UK consultancy firm…

It was not easy to prove it where I had been insulted, kicked-out, and even described as thief. The way was really hard and at many points I felt that I must quit and call it off. What shocked me the most that the issue was not only in the middle east, but it is even at USA, UK, Australia, and China where engineering info is not transfered smoothly from old generation to new one… and because of that you see an engineer with 25 years experience, but he was doing the same thing all over those 25 years…

Q06: What’s the benefits from asdd-eng? how is it different from ASCE or ICE?

A06: The main benefit from asdd-eng is to share info and build up an open engineering community and financially it’s under process where adv. are going well to cover the expenses where our partners, sponsors knows the benefit they gain from asdd-eng in terms of being exposed to engineers…

There is a huge difference between ASCE or ICE and ASDD-eng where we are just info provider where our platform is an open channel from engineers to engineers to share info and get full benefits where our role is to verify and make sure it’s not breaking copyrights code and it’s properly referenced back. Also, we make sure those info will serve the business streamline directly not pure theory …

Q07: Why did you choose 22nd Jan as the official lunch day rather than 27th Nov 2007?

A07: Simply on 27th Nov 2007 the site was only one single page that has lots of errors. However, choosing 22nd Jan has a purpose and meaning for me on personal level where on that date my life had changed up side down from top to below zero… It was the day I finishes my graduation project and I went home to have lunch and sleep around 2:00pm where I was at the top at that time in all terms. However, at 4:30pm every thing changed from top to below zero where my father had the second brain stroke…

so I choose that date to remind me always where ever you reached going down is always possible and sometimes it will be out of your control… That was a very good experience where it makes me solid and strong… I can not deny it makes me emotionless for a long time, but fair and straight…

Q08: How is asdd-team?

A08: They are just fine! I like all of them and they know that even when they are just being careless sometimes but I choose them based on one criteria (White Heart)… Trust me some of them, I don’t know them personally it’s online only since who ever understood asdd-concept he/she must have a white heart… OK sometimes I become pushy or more sharp, but never hate anyone.

The site is now managed by many manager based on his/her personal interests  where individual can shine… for example (Husam with openSource – FalconEye with Flickr group – You Jennifer as CEO and YouTube manager) and keep coming like others and recently Charlotte Jordan on Flickr…so it’s based on your personal effort to shine where asdd-eng was managed by one person, but now many many engineers… now we can reached 4,000,000 engineers/nonengineers around the world with a short time and medium IT skills…

Q09: We have heard recently that one of your friend and he was in asdd-team make one mirror site to yours… what do you say about it?

A09: Yes, and I found out that recently and I was happy until I saw that asdd-eng materials were copied and placed there with no proper reference to asdd-eng which is against ethical code and copyrights. Every one does a mistake and I did when I choose him to be one of asdd-team; however, I have no hard feelings and I hope him the best… But one of my basic value, since I consider someone as a friend, I would not harm him even if I can because it’s not what I do…and all of my friends know that clearly…

Q10: Final words to say?

A10: why are you going to kill me! (Just kidding)… Just one word… do not kill your dreams… and thanks for every one who supports asdd-eng and open your mind to think out of the box…
