Today’s People Spotlight features Stefanie M., a project manager from our AECOM - Water business in the U.S. West region. While taking classes for her mechanical engineering degree, Stefanie learned the importance of the human element of engineering — engaging with communities and making a positive impact in their lives. This realization led her to the water sector and, since joining our Water team 15 years ago, she hasn’t looked back. Today, she and her team are working on a 150-mile pipeline project that will deliver water from East Texas to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Once complete, the project will bring a sustainable water supply to the area’s growing population, supporting the community for years to come.

Check out our article on why Carollo Engineers launched its new water resources and resilience and sustainability practices from our January issue. Carollo Engineers is celebrating 90 years of specialized service in the water industry. Originating as an engineering design firm, the company now offers a comprehensive suite of water-related services, including planning, design, construction management, and owner’s advisory services. Recently, Carollo added to its 12 existing formal technical practices by establishing 2 more: a water resources practice and a resilience and sustainability practice. In this interview, we speak with Sarah Deslauriers, a vice president and the director of the new resilience and sustainability practice, and Inge Wiersema, a vice president, the director of the new water resources practice, and the national One Water lead, about the new practices and how they will strengthen Carollo’s offerings. https://bit.ly/3NT6Sy4 #CarolloEngineers #WaterEngineering #WaterResources #SustainabilityPractice #ResilienceInWater #EngineeringServices #OneWaterApproach #WaterIndustryInsights

ICYMI: The Pacific Coast Collaborative this week released its Vision and Action Plan to promote a regional low-carbon construction sector that advances equity-centered policies, job creation, and regional markets. The action plan strengthens decarbonization efforts already underway from British Columbia to California. Buildings are the second largest contributor of global energy-related carbon emissions, responsible for at least 39% of annual emissions. Additionally, 11% of emissions come from embodied carbon, which is the collective greenhouse gas emissions of a building, road, or other form of infrastructure throughout its entire lifecycle. Addressing embodied carbon is a priority identified by the 2021 State Energy Strategy. So, what’s being done in Washington to decarbonize buildings and reduce embodied carbon emissions? The state has strong laws and codes for reducing emissions from building operations. A vital step toward a clean energy future is the Buy Clean and Buy Fair policy being considered by legislators. The Commerce requested legislation will address embodied carbon in building materials and state building construction projects, an effort led by our State Efficiency and Environmental Performance Office. Washington is also collaborating with other states and the federal government to bring awareness to embodied carbon and promote low-carbon construction as part of the Federal-State Buy Clean Partnership.

🚧 Exploring Innovations in Infrastructure: The Rise of Pipe Bursting 🛠️ As we continue to innovate in the realm of infrastructure development, one method that's gaining traction is pipe bursting. 🌐 This technique, known for its efficiency and minimal disruption, is reshaping how we manage and upgrade our underground pipelines. 🔧 What is Pipe Bursting? Pipe bursting involves replacing an old or damaged pipe with a new one by fragmenting the existing pipe outward. This method not only reduces excavation but also minimizes environmental impact and lowers overall project costs. 💡 💼 Types of Pipe Bursting: 1. Static Pipe Bursting: Uses a static pulling machine to draw a bursting head through the existing pipe, breaking it apart and pulling the new pipe in behind it. 2. Pneumatic Pipe Bursting: Involves the use of pneumatic tools to fracture the existing pipe and install a new pipe of the same or larger diameter. 3. Hydraulic Pipe Bursting: Utilizes hydraulic power to burst the old pipe and pull a new one into place simultaneously, suitable for larger diameters and longer distances. 🌍 Advancing Sustainability By reducing the need for extensive excavation and construction, pipe bursting helps preserve surrounding landscapes and minimizes disruption to communities. It aligns with sustainable development goals by promoting resource efficiency and reducing carbon footprints. 🌱 📈 Driving Future Growth As we look ahead, innovations in pipe bursting technology promise even greater efficiency and capabilities. Embracing these advancements will be crucial as we strive for resilient and sustainable infrastructure worldwide. Let's continue to explore and champion innovations like pipe bursting that enhance infrastructure reliability and sustainability. Together, we can build a more connected and resilient future. 💪 #Infrastructure #PipeBursting #Sustainability #Innovation #UrbanDevelopment #Engineering

Insightful!!!!! must watch video about Decarbonisation
Decarbonising the built environment is crucial to addressing climate change. So how can we decarbonise our industry at the scale and pace needed? At WSP in the UK, our range of engineering, environmental and other technical experts work collaboratively with our clients and supply chain partners to drive decarbonisation in the design, delivery and operation of buildings and infrastructure projects. In the below video, Lewis Barlow WSP Technical Director for Decarbonisation and Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Trustee for Carbon and Climate hosts an ICE Knowledge Tech Talk which highlights six ways in which we can work collaboratively as an industry to drive change.
