CONSOR Engineers

So proud of Brianna Yu and the many others who recently wrapped up their summer internships at Consor! Hands-on internships are important because they help students apply those concepts learned in class to real-world infrastructure. And we need more talented, driven people delivering public works projects in our communities.   To every #ConsorIntern, thanks for working hard and bringing curiosity to our team! 🤩

From small wildlife bridge crossings to billion-dollar elevated highway structures, the range of Consor’s concrete bridge design services was captured in the Summer 2024 issue of ASPIRE - The Concrete Bridge Magazine. Read the article below for a full look at our concrete bridge capabilities and what sets us apart. A preview of what Chief Engineering Officer Sandeep Patil had to say: “Consor takes a regional approach to designing bridges across the country to make sure the design considers local construction practices, materials, and techniques… Our structural assessment practice provides insight into the types and causes of deterioration in bridges, which we draw upon to design resilient structures.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d_ksRgJd 🔗 #bridgedesign #bridgeengineering #structuralassessment #bridgeinspection #consorprojects

Catch Nick Clark, P.E., and Spencer Olson, PE in action as they give a behind-the-scenes look at their inspection of two truss bridges in Benton County, Oregon. From ladders and waders to kayaks to industrial rope access, our #structuralassessment team employs a variety of methods to reach even the most hidden bridge elements. Our team supports the Oregon Department of Transportation under the local agency bridge inspection contract, performing National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) for nearly 100 local-agency-owned bridges across four counties in Western Oregon. This effort includes routine, initial, and hands-on fracture-critical inspections. They also perform specialized tasks like inspecting fatigue-prone steel details and timber boring (find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ghz9fYFq). These inspections are vital to monitoring bridge conditions and maintaining safe, secure connectors that keep our communities moving. #bridgeinspection #dayinthelife #ConsorProjects #bridgepreservation 

The ocean has always been a constant for Ikaika Kincaid, PE, CCM. Growing up on Oahu, Ikaika developed a profound connection to the sea, which evolved into a career that blends engineering and environmental stewardship. A professional engineer and commercial dive supervisor who leads Consor’s Pacific team, Ikaika has cultivated a thriving structural assessment and transportation planning and design practice in Hawaii. His current focus is building a coastal engineering practice deeply rooted in the challenges of island life. Read the full feature to discover how… 🤿 Diving influenced Ikaika’s career, from inspection through engineering to leadership. 🏄 Hawaiian culture shapes Ikaika’s life at work and beyond. 🌊 Ikaika, Nicole Kapasakis, Andrew Cronin, Gavin Kondo, and Charlotte White address the long-term health of coastal systems with a unique blend of science and engineering. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g_56zRCH 🔗 #consoratwork #structuralassessment #commercialdiving #coastalengineering

Our new office in Kennewick, Washington, is open and ready to support clients across the Tri-Cities and Central/Eastern Washington! This new location enhances our ability to deliver tailored wastewater solutions while expanding our conveyance and distribution services. With a focus on responsive, community-driven solutions and collaborative partnerships, our team is ready to make an impact! #Kennewick #TriCities #Water #Wastewater #Stormwater

On May 15, a barge impacted the bridge that connects Pelican Island with Galveston, Texas, spilling oil into the waterway. Responders quickly got to work removing the barge, recovering 22,000 gallons of oily water, and implementing tactics to protect wildlife (https://lnkd.in/gTRawQk6). Within 6.5 hours of receiving the call from the Texas Department of Transportation, our team was authorized to perform an emergency underwater damage inspection. On May 18, the morning after the barge removal was completed, our #inspection team was on site and ready to assist TxDOT in assessing the structural integrity of the bridge. First, our team performed acoustic imaging of the pile bents and surrounding channel bottom to identify the debris field. Then our dive inspectors got in the water to perform a visual and tactile inspection of the piles supporting the roadway. By that same evening, TxDOT reopened the bridge to load-restricted traffic, restoring a crucial connection to Pelican Island, which is home to Texas A&M Galveston, Seawolf Park, and the Galveston Naval Museum. Construction on a new bridge will begin in the summer of 2025—the Pelican Island Causeway Bridge had been slated for replacement before the crash. Shout-out to the many people who quickly took action to keep community members safe! #consorprojects #bridgeinspection #emergencyresponse #commercialdiving

Our teammates recently joined community members in celebrating the grand opening of the San Bruno Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC)—a 49,360-square-foot facility featuring indoor and outdoor pools, a gymnasium, a walking track, fitness rooms, and community halls. Designed to bring people together and promote wellness for all ages, RAC welcomed over 1,000 people for the ribbon-cutting celebration! Consor is proud to have provided project management services for the City of San Bruno, overseeing quality, safety, and delivery through every step of construction. Under Rodrigo Macaraeg’s leadership, our team served as the primary point of contact for the City, Group 4 Architecture (designer), Ninyo & Moore (geotechnical), Griffin Structures (construction manager), and Lathrop Construction Associates (contractor) to keep everyone informed of progress and coordinate issue resolution. Largely funded by $51.5M in restitution from a 2010 PG&E pipeline explosion, RAC is not just a place for recreation but represents community resilience. Recreation centers like this are vital third places—public spaces where people can connect with community outside of their workplace and home. Shout out to everyone who helped make this vision a reality! 🌟 #projectmanagement #PMCM #consorprojects

Major kudos to Lael Alderman and our other teammates who spent last Friday cleaning up Portland’s waterfront! By making the most of their group volunteer time off, they demonstrated how #integrity and #grit drive us to positively impact our communities at Consor. 👏

This #constructionappreciationweek, we’re recognizing the hard work of the construction professionals who build and shape our communities and everything in between. High-quality construction is the foundation of resilient infrastructure that keeps our roads safe, our water clean, and our communities thriving. Our team of inspectors, construction managers, and engineers are proud to collaborate with contractors to see that every project is completed with safety, precision, and the highest quality standards. “At Consor, we often work behind the scenes to make construction projects run smoothly. Whether we’re out in the field or managing from the office, it’s not always glamorous, but the impact is real. Everyone involved in building infrastructure faces challenges like working in extreme conditions and solving complex issues, but knowing we’ve made a difference makes it all worth it. I get excited to tell my kids about intersections and roads I worked on during our morning commute!” — Eric Fuller, Colorado Construction Services Group Manager “Construction is an act of creation. Turning a concept or a plan into something real, tangible, and lasting—in spite of every challenge from weather to supply chains—is a unique art form that requires determination, problem solving, and creative thinking on a constant basis. The people who do it thrive on it and take pride in it, and they deserve our appreciation and every effort to protect them while they do it.” — Ken Thomas, Director of Safety Thank you to all the construction teams making a difference in our communities! #construction #constructionmanagement #constructionservices
