Thinking of all of our team members and communities affected by the recent storms. We are in this together, and we will rebuild together.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the ESP team remains committed to supporting our communities in their efforts to assess and rebuild critical infrastructure. Immediately following the storm, our team mobilized to support NCDOT with the section of I-40 that collapsed into the Pigeon River Gorge near the NC/TN state line (pictured).   For approximately 5 miles of I-40 and the Pigeon River from the state line to the Waterville Lake Dam, ESP's survey team deployed a SkyFront Perimeter 8+ UAS to collect high-resolution oblique and nadir imagery, as well as high-density lidar point clouds for terrain surface development. In addition to UAS data, ESP has also collected mobile lidar of the roadway and surrounding areas, has run baseline control, and will collect full surveys of the damaged storm structures. ESP's water resources team is also developing a detailed 2D hydraulic model for the 12-mile reach of Pigeon River, including pre-conditions, Hurricane Helene simulation, and post-erosion simulations. This advanced modeling will assist with the I-40 rebuild/repair.   Our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Helene, and we stand ready to support our communities and clients through the long and difficult process of rebuilding.

Hurricane Helene is a solemn reminder of how precious each day is and how quickly our lives can change. We're grateful to report that impacted team members across the ESP enterprise are safe and receiving support as they take the next step after this unprecedented natural disaster, and our greatest hope is that our neighbors across the Southeast are also safe and supported amidst ongoing relief efforts throughout so many of our communities in need. While the process of rebuilding will be long, we are all in this together as we continue reaching out to one another and leading with kindness.

We will also be exhibiting at the Fajita Fest Dinner, presented by the ACEC of Texas, on Monday October 7 from 7pm – 10pm. Please stop by our booth (#4) at the Brazos County Expo in Bryan, TX.
