CONNOR Interning(3)- DDG

Hey yall! I just got payed and am feeling good because it's Friday! This blog post is gonna be mostly pictures but still with juicy updates.
This is one of the streetscape projects I've been involved in. We're basically making the sidewalks all ADA and adding in some pedestrian crosswalks. Just showing what the sidewalks look like and showing a big crack that would totally bring a struggle to any wheelchair rider. Fun fact... the curbs on these sidewalks are over a foot high from the road up.

This is a percolation test for
some bioswale soil at one of our sites. All you do is let water drip through a cup of the soil and measure how fast the water level drops every 30 seconds with this tube doohikey thing. You do this about 3 times then average all the ending numbers together and that's how you get the MPI(minutes per inch). Crazy stuff right there
I could not figure out how to rotate this but this is a study area I'm thinking about for my Cap Stone Project. Not sure if I'll stick with it but it's good to already be thinking about a location. I do research for this on my free time.
This brings me back to Kathy's class. The messy handwriting, the question marks. This is a marked up street design I've been working on for a project in Broussard. Jokes on them I've been here before.
Yall better be keeping track of all these commands we're learning. They will definitely come in handy later on.

That's all folks🐷

Blog #1 – Jalen Winburn Hello all, I hope everyone is having great times at their internships! In my first week at Confluence in Minneapolis, it was all about learning the systems and how things work here: file structure, licensing, AutoCAD standards, company structure, and how project timelines and budgets work. On my first day, I was able to introduce myself to everyone in the office and get settled onto my desk and computer. In our office there are only 10 of us, including myself and another intern who is also a 4th-year landscape architecture student but at the University of Minnesota. After the first week, and once I was settled in, I was able to start helping around the office for several projects. One thing that surprised me in my first few weeks here was how many projects we are working on at the same time. After my first month and a half, I have already worked on about 30 different projects ranging from amenity decks on rooftops for condos/apartments to city parks around the M...

GREETINGS ONCE AGAIN! I am attempting to get better at this blogging thing, I think my delivery of the last one was a bit bland and robotic. Fortunately, they say in life growth is inevitable and the same applies to my internship experience. I feel the level of trust is being raised with us interns. From the increased workload to the level of work being that is tasked to us. I don't know if it's just me but having my judgement and skill trusted to the level of having a deliverable that I had a large role in being presented to others is a slightly nervous but very rewarding feeling. It also acts as a motivator to keep learning and increase the quality of my efforts.  Assignment updates! Mikala and I did tree warranty work at Greenwood Park in Baker. Our task of was to walkthrough a portion of the park and tag the dead trees and ground shrubs so they could be replaced under their one-year warranty.                         ...
