None from me, I’ve constructed some pretty big spreadsheets though!

I have also created some big spreadsheets but my work I much more about repair than building. However there is a soak away (part of a drain) in Norfolk I designed, not that you would see it as it’s buried underground.
My work isn’t as dramatic as some engineers but it is still pretty vital in ensuring we have roads that cars can drive on, without fear that a bridge will fall down.

I’ve not actually constructed anything myself. However, I’ve carried out analysis on a pipeline that is over 50 km long, which I think is pretty cool!

Does lego count? If it does, I’m a shoe in. I’ve made some pretty big models!
Everything is also awesome (obligatory when talking about lego!)

@matthew gall yes Lego does count and everything is awesome including the lego movie! @philipa jefferies that is a huge effect on drainage and the system which allows liquids etc to flow through! @neil taylor WOW! thats quite long how long did it ake you to do so? @pete symons aha! it was worth the asking anyway, we have to amke spreadsheets at school in ict but we have never had to construct a huge one:)!
Pete commented on :
Hi Zoe, If you are creating spreadsheets, you’re already halfway to becoming an Engineer!
Philippa commented on :
Spreadsheets are such a big part of engineering.
Neil commented on :
Hi Zoe. It took many weeks, but it was a great feeling of accomplishment when it was finished!
