In the heart of Ethiopia, a colossal dam construction project is taking shape – The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). This mammoth structure is no ordinary dam either; it’s a mega-dam towering twice the height of the Golden Gate Bridge, and covering a reservoir expanse almost as big as London. With its ability to generate over 5,000 megawatts of electricity, the dam holds the potential to lift millions out of poverty.

Effective structural design is challenging as the process requires an engineer to carefully consider loads, stresses, and forces at every step. They must also think about the environment in which it will be built and how it might affect other nearby structures. In this article, we share a few of the most important structural design considerations an engineer should keep in mind at all times. But first, let’s recap what exactly is meant by structural design.

Deep hole drilling is a machining process that can produce holes up to ten times deeper than the diameter of the hole and is suitable for a variety of metals, including the strongest of superalloys. Deep hole drilling services require special tools and setups to deliver high-pressure coolant, cleanly evacuate chips and reach the depth-to-diameter. Deep hole drilling, also known as gun drilling, is a highly-specialised machining operation that only a few engineering companies can perform, including PRV Engineering. Here is a closer look at some of the processes, applications and pros and cons.
