In this episode of The ConTech Crew, host Jeff Sample explores the “Wild Wild West” of construction engineering with Jasper Calcara of D.H. Charles Engineering. From Olympic downhill inspections to life-threatening trench collapses and sheared structural columns, Jasper shares what it means to be the “sheriff” in an industry where seconds matter and safety is everything.
Construction engineering is one of the most overlooked and most dangerous aspects of the building industry. While architects and structural engineers design permanent structures, construction engineers operate in the high-risk, fast-paced world of temporary works: scaffolding, excavation shoring, crane picks, structural stabilization, and emergency site interventions.
Key Takeaways
Why construction engineering (temporary works) is one of the most dangerous and under-supported disciplines in construction
What really happens behind the scenes on massive projects like the Bay Bridge and the Olympics
The hidden dangers of trench work and why even a 5-foot excavation can be deadly
How technology and custom-built systems can improve safety, response time, and team collaboration
Why modern, accessible education is critical as experienced construction knowledge retires out of the workforce
