𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 Our team at GWES has been actively conducting wetland delineations throughout the month, and one of the most fascinating projects comes from Glynn County. This area features a beautiful wetland savanna habitat, home to native pitcher plants and other unique ecosystems. Our work here has focused on evaluating the aquatic features while supporting sustainable development. During our field investigations, we captured some stunning images of the wetland savanna and its rich biodiversity, which you can check out below. At GWES, we are proud to combine our expertise with environmental stewardship, helping to preserve these valuable ecosystems for future generations. #GWES #EnvironmentalEngineering #WetlandDelineation #GlynnCounty #SustainableDevelopment #CivilEngineering #ProjectHighlight

A) Bran Castle 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚’𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 Bran Castle, located in the Transylvanian region of Romania, was completed in 1388 under King Louis I of Hungary’s authorization. Built as a bulwark against the Ottoman Empire's expansion, it later gained fame as "Dracula's Castle," due to its association with Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Though the connection to Vlad the Impaler (the real-life inspiration for Dracula) is tenuous, the castle's imposing structure and eerie presence have cemented its place in popular culture as the home of the infamous vampire. 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰? Bran Castle is one of Romania’s top tourist attractions, drawing visitors from around the world with its spooky atmosphere and historical significance.

#𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝-𝐢𝐧-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐞 (𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐏) – 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 This #ThirstyThursday, we’re highlighting 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝-𝐢𝐧-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐞 (𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐏), a game-changing technology in water and sewer pipe repair that keeps our essential water systems flowing without the need for disruptive digging. As aging infrastructure continues to be a challenge across the country, CIPP offers a trenchless solution to extend the life of water and sewer pipes, ensuring communities have access to clean, reliable water. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐏? CIPP is a trenchless method that rehabilitates damaged pipes by inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into the pipe, which is then cured in place to form a durable new pipe inside the existing one. This process restores the pipe’s functionality without having to dig up streets, yards, or disrupt water services for long periods. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐏 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬: 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒓𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆: Unlike traditional pipe repair methods, CIPP allows repairs to be made without extensive excavation, keeping roads, sidewalks, and landscapes intact. ▪ 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒔: CIPP adds decades to the life of aging water infrastructure, helping prevent leaks, bursts, and contamination in drinking water systems. ▪ 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑸𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: By sealing cracks and breaks, CIPP prevents groundwater infiltration and contamination, ensuring that clean drinking water reaches homes and businesses. ▪ 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕-𝑬𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆: The trenchless nature of CIPP reduces labor, time, and materials, making it a cost-effective option for municipalities and utility providers managing large water networks. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐏: ▪ 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈-𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: CIPP extends the lifespan of pipes by 50 years or more. ▪ 𝑭𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕: Repairs can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. ▪ 𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒚: Because CIPP requires fewer disruptions, water supply can often continue with minimal interruptions during the repair process. As we face increasing challenges with aging water infrastructure, CIPP provides a critical tool to keep our water flowing safely and efficiently. At GWES, we’re dedicated to using innovative methods like CIPP to help ensure that clean, safe water is available for everyone. This #ThirstyThursday, let’s celebrate the technologies that help keep our water infrastructure resilient and ready for the future. #ThirstyThursday #StayHydrated #CIPP #TrenchlessTechnology #WaterInfrastructure #GWESImpact #GWES #EngineeringExcellence
