It's so messed up.

But as I remembered my first column from the first issue of the IB released in January 2003... and how many there were. And what matters / people / topics I touched with a mowing flight... And finally, erstwhile I thought the second time it wouldn't happen, due to the fact that there wouldn't be a second hundredth number, and that chance wouldn't come, I sat on my lap with a laptop. And why on your knees alternatively than on your desk – due to the fact that the desk is covered with 99 printed IB numbers and there is no area for anything else.

But before I started writing, I reviewed again what for 23 years different authors – including myself – wrote about. With large admiration I now see the large influence of this publication on the civilisation of the planet focused around widely understood unearthed technologies, on improving the relation of the awarding entity – the contractor, on knowing how and how to apply various technologies, on promoting best practices and standards, on education at last. And the top value of this publication is continuous like carrying a kagan education for more than 2 decades and reaching under the roof.
All right, just not about history, but about the present and the future of some. But in a planet so rapidly changing, does it make sense to proceed on the marketplace the releases you hold in your hand and read?
Before you answer this question, consider whether the planet of excavation-free renovations is changing, and if so, very much and in which aspects. Is the AI able to replace those guys who are able to soak up the carpet and then make certain the hardening process goes right. Whether in distant mode it is possible to prepare any investment on a surviving body, specified as water supply and sewer systems. yet – how do we learn about further evidence installations, super companies, modern materials and ... Titans presented for this.
And I didn't ask those questions without a goat.
Because if we answer each other, we will find that not only today, but there will be something to compose about for the next 20 years. possibly not fresh technologies, due to the fact that in the no-dig manufacture there are besides many innovations – possibly drones will appear. possibly not about fresh materials – at most something fresh will appear to repair large-scale bus lines. possibly not about problems with deficiency of appropriate planning and money in the market, due to the fact that why keep writing about the same thing? possibly not another amendment to the Public Procurement Law, due to the fact that it's boring and unproductive. About out-of-court dispute resolution – possibly so, but this is besides a bunch of cards(k)a.
But it will always be worth writing about people who make and live in this industry. Who sacrifice and identify with improvement and advancement (whatever it may be). And who just are. due to the fact that it is the people of the excavation manufacture who are the most crucial and impossible to control resources. They have fresh ideas and are implementing innovative solutions that keep the manufacture growing. It is thanks to their commitment, cognition and competence that further success and affirmative perception of the manufacture will be possible. It is thanks to them that sustainable business and social relationships are built, which has a definite impact on the efficiency and quality of cooperation between all stakeholders.
But let's not forget the ones that make the Inexplicable Engineering a top release and a mandatory position on the shelves of everyone in any way related to underground infrarures. Here a small digression – I took the first issue number IB from my desk and compared it to 99. Let me tell you, the large respect for Paul and his band for the level that the paper has led to. And let them keep this level and quality for another 20 years, or even longer.
Because the excavation engineering manufacture without IB would be like Adam without Eve, a lock without a key, a car without an engine or an end without a beginning.
In conclusion, on the occasion of the centenary of the issue, I thank you for already and want that the creative message should not leave the authors, and that a group of readers should constantly grow. An editorial squad of unwavering enthusiasm, many inspiring themes and fresh categories of Titans.
And privately now a small – Paul – and who would have thought it would make so. I'll tell you what, it's a mess! |
