Grady has a popular YouTube channel by the same name (Practical Engineering) with great photos, videos, graphs, and homemade demos. I am not a real engineer, but his videos bridge the gap between complex mechanical ideas and the layperson with well-designed experiments.
I watched the video version of this article. I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd video in his "practical construction" series on the channel.
I assume there's many more currently in the works, based on how long this one was in production during the replacement of the flood gates. I'm glad that the city, engineers, and contractors let him document the construction process and make a video about it.
I also thought it was pretty cool in a strange sort of way to see each of their logos in the video's credits. Not something I'm used to seeing from independent (if you ignore nebula studios) youtubers.
