Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project
TL;DR: The Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project (Rouge Project) as mentioned in this paper is a watershed-based national demonstration project to demonstrate effective solutions to water quality problems facing an urban watershed highly impacted by wet weather and develop potential solutions and implement projects which will lead to the restoration of water quality in Rouge River.

Simulation analysis of productivity variation by global positioning system (GPS) implementation in earthmoving operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the productivity improvement from GPS implementation in earthmoving operations using construction simulation and show that the GPS-based system can increase productivity by 21.74% and cost savings by 12.92%.

3-D strong tilting observed in tall, isolated brick chimneys during the excavation of the Athens Metro
TL;DR: In this article, a metro tunnel in the historical centre of Athens (Gazi/Technopolis area) in soft rocks produced considerable tilting, up to 7.5 cm, but no damage to three isolated historical brick chimneys, 26-34 cm high.

Combining photogrammetry and robotic total stations to obtain dimensional measurements of temporary facilities in construction field
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost-effective modeling technique was proposed to obtain dynamic dimension measurements of a moving object in a time-dependent, dynamically-changing context by integrating photogrammetry and robotic total station tracking.
