❓How can you ensure the longevity and safety of your buildings and infrastructure? Structural failures are a serious risk to both property and human lives, but they can often be prevented with the right approach to proactive maintenance and early detection. In the latest Bridging the Gap Podcast with guest Stanley Stoll, PE of Knott Laboratory we explored this topic at greater depth. Listen to our full conversation today - link in comments below. From water management strategies to the value of open communication and trust between stakeholders, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to protecting your investment. What proactive steps do you take to maintain structural integrity?

Here in Colorado, weather conditions can be tough on infrastructure. That’s especially the case in our ski resort towns. Sitting at 9,500’ brings its challenges! The cycle of snow, ice, melting, and runoff can rapidly produce concrete and steel degradation, foundation problems, and moisture intrusion in buildings and parking structures. These types of issues not only devalue the asset, but also pose trip, slip, and fall hazards for visitors (especially in ski boots 🎿). In this case, our Reconstruction team is working with crews to re-slope problem areas, repair concrete and retaining walls, and relocate drainage systems to prevent future problems. #reconstruction #forensicengineering

For those attending the Arizona Multihousing Association Education Conference this week in Phoenix, head straight to our booth because: LEGOS! The tradeshow's theme is "game shows" so we've chosen Lego Masters...with an engineering twist. See you there! Zach Miller Ginny Campbell

Unfortunately, summer is drawing to a close, but it’s clear the Knott Lab team made the most of it! We’ve loved seeing everyone’s adventures with family and friends. #knottlab

What's the most dangerous time of day to be on Colorado roads? Part 5 of our series on Colorado Motor Vehicle Accident trends has the details. We looked at each hour of the day to discover the peak times for crashes involving injury or fatality. "Rush hour" is the most dangerous timeframe due to a number of factors: ◾ the volume of drivers on the road ◾ workday stress ◾ distractions and hurrying to pick up the kids, get to extracurricular activities, run errands etc. Drivers who have numerous things on their mind are more susceptible to accidents. The routine nature of driving can deceive us into complacency, but as accident reconstructionists we see the devastating outcomes. Stay focused out there! #accidentreconstruction #forensicengineering

It was a blast to sit down and talk structural assessments and the state of the industry. Thanks for having us Bridging the Gap Podcast.
