Structural Group
Monthly Meeting

Speaker:             Scott Eshleman, P.E., S.E. (Principal Structural Engineer at Stanley Consultants)
Topic:                  EWB’s Bridge Adventure Story in Guatemala

Synopsis:           In 2005, Hurricane Stan swept over the eastern region of Guatemala and completely destroyed a key pedestrian bridge over the El Benque River that left eight Mayan villages stranded without reliable access to the outside world. In March of 2008 a Chicago team of engineers and friends belonging to a group known as Engineers Without Borders (EWB) traveled to Guatemala on a mission to work with these Mayan villagers to construct a 100-foot suspension replacement bridge. The bridge was located in a remote mountainous region in eastern Guatemala only accessible by foot or mule, five miles from the nearest primitive road.
