Doak credits most of his accomplishments and success to golf course designer Pete Dye.

The Rio Grande would later change its course, making the fort about 1 mile from the river.

Originally, it was thought that the bridge could not be built in its present location. No trace of rock could be found on which to build the bridge foundations. In 1946, two high-ranking Government engineers visited India to inspect a number of bridges built on sand foundations. The same technique was used for the Burdekin Bridge and it is the only bridge in Australia not built with a firm foothold. The bridge rests on 11 huge, hollow, concrete caissons sunk into the river bed.

As the pit was so deep the lorries used to move the sand around were left buried when it was filled in because it was not economical to extricate them as the pit was so deep.

In 1939, the Greek industrial output was 179% that of 1928. These industries were for the most part "built on sand" as one report of the Bank of Greece put it, as without massive protection they would not have been able to survive. Despite the global depression, Greece managed to suffer comparatively little, averaging an average growth rate of 3.5% from 1932 to 1939. The dictatorial regime of Ioannis Metaxas took over the Greek government in 1936, and economic growth was strong in the years leading up to the Second World War.

Nehoshtan Tower, Neve Tzedek The "First International Bank Tower" in Tel Aviv's financial district Tel Aviv has been ranked as the twenty-fifth most important financial center in the world. As it was built on sand dunes in an area unsuitable for farming, it instead developed as a hub of business and scientific research. In 1926, the country's first shopping arcade, Passage Pensak, was built there. By 1936, as tens of thousands of middle class immigrants arrived from Europe, Tel Aviv was already the largest city in Palestine.

Freight train passes to new work at Mammendorf, February 2010. New work near Hattenhofen New line being built on sand embankment at Haspelmoor The 43 km section between Augsburg and Olching line was rebuilt to four-tracks between 1998 and 2011 to carry significantly more traffic. One pair of tracks was dedicated to regional services (RB, RE) and goods traffic and the other to (IC/EC) and high-speed traffic (ICE) services. Heavy and more slowly running freight trains no longer obstruct the passage of faster ICEs. The permitted speed on the high-speed tracks is now 230 km/h.

Because HafenCity is subject to periodic flooding from storm surges, using innovative flood protection technologies has been an important part of its redevelopment. The threat from flooding is even more grave due to the predicted effects of climate change. While dikes were initially considered to shield the islands from storm surges, it would have been impossibly expensive and taken away from the view. Instead, there are strict flood-protection rules in places within the special development zone, such as requiring new roads and public spaces to be built on sand terraces over above the normal high-tide line.

Greece went off the gold standard in April 1932 and declared a moratorium on all interest payments. The country also adopted protectionist policies such as import quotas, which a number of European countries did during the time period. Protectionist policies coupled with a weak drachma, stifling imports, allowed the Greek industry to expand during the Great Depression. In 1939 Greek Industrial output was 179% that of 1928. These industries were for the most part “built on sand” as one report of the Bank of Greece put it, as without massive protection they would not have been able to survive.

Patricia Golan, Built on sand, Jerusalem Report, June 26, 2012 Then the 45 participating dispersed localities had a total population of 76,000 inhabitants; these communities range in size from 500 to almost 5,000 residents. The RCUV is supposed to be an elected body, and the residents of each community (village) elect a local committee of 3-7 persons, who become members of the general assembly of the RCUV. The general assembly democratically elects the chairperson and the executive committee once every 4 years.

Of the seven locks required, the upper two were built on sand, while the lower three were built in a peat bog. Both environments required the sinking of piles and the provision of paved floors to the lock chambers, neither of which were adequately done. The lower reaches were very close to the river, which flooded it when there was plenty of water, and drained it when there was not. While the much longer Newry Canal has only taken ten years to complete, the Coalisland Canal was still not finished, and the work was financed by £25,000, awarded from public funds between 1746 and 1782.

However, Zetkin was deeply opposed to the concept of "bourgeois feminism," which she claimed was a tool to divide the unity of the working classes. In a speech she delivered to the Second International in 1899 she stated: :The working women, who aspire to social equality, expect nothing for their emancipation from the bourgeois women’s movement, which allegedly fights for the rights of women. That edifice is built on sand and has no real basis. Working women are absolutely convinced that the question of the emancipation of women is not an isolated question which exists in itself, but part of the great social question.

A character named Hagar is prominently featured in Toni Morrison's novel Song of Solomon, which features numerous Biblical themes and allusions. In the 1979 novel Kindred, by Octavia Butler, the protagonist Dana has an ancestor named Hagar (born into slavery) whom we meet towards the end of the novel, as part of Dana's time travel back to Maryland in the 1800s. Hagar is mentioned briefly in Salman Rushdie's controversial novel The Satanic Verses, where Mecca is replaced with 'Jahilia', a desert village built on sand and served by Hagar's spring. Hagar is mentioned, along with Bilhah and Zilpah, in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, a dystopian novel which centres around the women whose duty it is to produce children for their masters, assuming the place of their wives in a rape ceremony based upon the biblical passage.

Mornin's first play, Mum and Son, produced at the Riverside Studios, West London, in 1981 (and subsequently at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast, in 1984) opened a rich seam of original drama in the 1980s that included Resting Time (Tring), Kate (the Bush, West London), Short of Mutiny (Theatre Royal Stratford East), and the radio play Scuttling Off (BBC Radio 3). Comrade Ogilvy was staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican in 1984. The Murderers (1985), set in East Belfast at the beginning of the 1970s, directed by Peter Gill at the National Theatre was called by Irving Wardle "the work of an able and impassioned writer" and for which he won the George Devine award for most promising playwright. This was followed in 1987 by Built on Sand at the Royal Court directed by Lindsay Posner and by Weights and Measures, a black comedy based on the Dennis Nilsen murders, was enthusiastically received by an invited audience at the National Theatre studios in 1987 but considered too dark for a full-scale production.
