At GFY, he looks forward to being challenged by the projects that he will work on while continuing toward his PE license. There is no doubt that Benjamin loves the work he does; as he puts it, "I enjoy knowing that I'm working to improve safety on the roads across the state and improving people's lives in the way that I'm capable of doing."

After a hectic few weeks, we're happy we could come together and share our love for football and, of course, catch up with our colleagues. We had a football-themed potluck in our St. Pete, Lakewood Ranch, and Birmingham offices. It was a touchdown of delicious food, team spirit, and camaraderie. #gfy #georgefyoung #civilengineering #surveyandmapping #subsurfaceutilityengineering #footballseason #collegefootball #NFL #celebrate

Last week, our partner Moss & Associates (Construction) broke ground on Hollywood Police Headquarters. Daniel Diaz, P.E., John D. Perdue, PE, and Jeremy Lunsford, PE, from our structural team, were excited to be a part of the event after providing structural engineering services for this project. The GFY structural team analyzed the structure using 3-D analysis software, we also utilized BIM software to model the structures, allowing collaboration with architectural and MEP disciplines to perform clash detection before construction. GFY reviewed the project at multiple stages to ensure all project and code requirements. We would like to thank our design partners for their efforts, especially ODP, which successfully led the project as Architect of Record. We can’t wait to see this one go vertical!
