Celebrating the legacy of Jim Nichols, our first president after incorporation in 1976. Jim believed in the power of personal connections, often driving to meet clients and understand their needs. His leadership spanned decades, and after his tenure as President, he served as Board Chairman Emeritus. Jim’s influence extended from #water projects across #Texas to the creation of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). His dedication to #engineering and community service remains an inspiration. Read more about Jim’s legacy: https://lnkd.in/e_ZbWPjh #Since1894

Evolving tools of the trade: In the 1920s, our firm designed a water supply reservoir for Paris, Texas, and mules helped with site preparation. A century later and 23 miles to the west, we helped develop Texas’ first new major reservoir in 30 years – and #drones were essential to documenting construction. Bois d’Arc Lake went into service in 2023 as an essential new #water source for 2+ million customers of North Texas Municipal Water District Learn more about our history: https://ow.ly/KsPj50TK3aR #Since1894

Taking better control of a sometimes-underappreciated step in the #wastewater treatment process could result in improved operations. In a #TexasWET magazine Tech Talk article, our Nicholas Landes, Water and Wastewater Treatment Engineer, covers one of those: secondary clarifier operations. He equips operators of #water resource recovery facilities with a practical, step-by-step process for using state point analysis to improve compliance and reduce costs, as well as a free, downloadable spreadsheet tool to get them started.

Freese and Nichols has been Making Our Mark to support the Tarrant Area Food Bank through CANstruction Fort Worth for almost as long as the 25-year-old event has been fighting hunger through community service-oriented friendly competition. From a playful seal to a giant rainbow to an “Ask What You CAN Do” portrait of President Kennedy, our teams have found #innovative ways over the years to live our values of “Serve Always” and “Engage as Family.” During our 130th anniversary year, we embraced the can-do spirit of another enduring figure, SpongeBob SquarePants - and the "Patty Wagon" picked up both the "People's Choice" and "Best Meal" awards. Take a spin through our CANstruction memories album below.

We know #PFAS are everywhere, and new #drinkingwater limits are set extremely low. So, when public #watersystems collect samples for analysis, they need to follow unique procedures to help guard against false-positive lab results. Our #environmental and #treatment teams can help with guidance and with conducting sampling. Learn how: https://ow.ly/IOOR50TGaFE #cleanwater #EPA
