Today, we delve into a critical aspect of project success – effectively managing subcontractors. If you've faced challenges in this area, you're not alone. As a site engineering company, we recognise the importance of seamless collaboration. In this post, we'll explore strategies to optimise subcontractor management, incorporating key insights for site engineers to enhance project efficiency

In this instalment, we look into site engineering and Land surveying in the UK by addressing some of the more complex questions that often arise in the field. Whether you're an experienced professional such as a project manager, construction director, supply chain manager or a newcomer to the construction industry, we're here to provide clarity and insights into the multifaceted world of site engineering.

Deep drainage systems are critical components of modern infrastructure, responsible for managing water flow and preventing flooding, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Proper setting out of deep drainage is crucial to ensure that these systems function effectively and are built to last. This guide is tailored for construction project managers, engineers, and students who are looking to understand and master the process of setting out deep drainage systems. 

Traverse surveying is a foundational technique in the field of construction and engineering, the main purpose of traverse surveying is measuring and mapping the land. This surveying method is instrumental in creating accurate maps, planning construction projects, and even in the legal definition of land boundaries. Its application is vast, touching various aspects of engineering and construction management. This week's AKN Engineering blog post aims to guide project managers, engineers, and students through the fundamental steps of traverse surveying, ensuring a solid foundation for anyone looking to apply these principles in the field.

It all begins with an idea.In the realm of civil engineering, Piles are essential for transferring the loads from buildings and other structures down to a competent bearing stratum where the load can be safely accommodated, with a reliable factor of safety. 

Site engineers bring their technical proficiency to the forefront by conducting comprehensive site assessments. They meticulously analyse soil conditions, topography, and other pertinent factors to devise effective groundworks strategies. By leveraging their expertise, site engineers help in the formulation of detailed plans that address the unique requirements of each project, laying the groundwork for a solid and reliable construction process.
