Today we remember the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. To commemorate Memorial Day 2024, the Society of the First Infantry Division, the veteran's organization of the U.S. Army's First Division, held a Dedication Ceremony for a recently completed First Division Memorial expansion within President’s Park located on the White House Grounds.   The First Division Memorial was originally dedicated in 1924 to honor the souls lost in World War I. In 1957, the Memorial expanded west to honor those who served in World War II. Further expansion included an addition in 1977 for the Vietnam War addition, and for Desert Storm in 1995.   Alpha proudly served as Construction Manager from Fall 2023 through Spring 2024, to expand the Memorial again, with the addition of granite plinths with bronze name plates to honor 631 names lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom New Dawn, Operation Enduring Freedom Afghanistan, and Desert Storm, with landscaping improvements surrounding the additions.   Alpha worked closely with the White House Operations, U.S. Secret Service, National Park Service as well as the incredible design team, HOK, and General Contracting team, Terra Constructs, to successfully complete this uniquely challenging project within budget and on schedule for the Memorial Day 2024 Dedication.   Alpha expresses our deepest gratitude to those who served and sacrificed for our nation. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten-in this memorial they will be forever remembered and honored.

Alpha remembers the six men and women, fellow construction workers and inspectors, who lost their lives when a speeding vehicle entered the work area behind the jersey barrier one year ago today on the Maryland I-695 project north of Baltimore, MD. Let this tragic event remind us of our role in ensuring our own safety and that of our co-workers and communities.   Please join us for a moment of silence held in honor of the one-year anniversary of the I-695 accident at 12:40pm on March 22nd. The ATSS Foundation offers the “The National Work Zone Memorial - Respect and Remembrance: Reflections of Life on the Road” program as a living tribute to the memory of lives lost in work zones: https://lnkd.in/e32wpYbw

The Alpha Maryland Team enjoyed attending the 31st Annual Maryland Quality Initiative (MdQI) Conference! The theme for this year’s #MdQI Conference was “Transforming Transportation in Maryland”.   Alpha’s Paul Bender, Area Engineer, proudly accepted the “MdQi” award for “County Engineers Association of Maryland (CEAM) above $5M”. Alpha Corporation supported MCDOT with construction management services with WR&A and OC&L. The CM at-risk team included Corman Kokosing Construction Company and the design team was led by Stantec Consulting Services. Alpha’s Heidi Van Luven, P.E., Vice President, Mid-Atlantic Transportation Engineering, moderated session “ACEC: Effective Legislative Advocacy | Making Sure Your Voice is Heard”. The session highlighted how the transportation industry can effectively advocate for legislation that promotes the interests and needs of our industry and addresses critical issues including transportation safety and mobility. In this session, Baltimore County Councilman and former Delegate Patrick Young, and ACEC’s lobbyist Rory Murray, shared their experiences, effective approaches and lessons learned.   Stephen McVeigh, PMP, Director of Construction Management, facilitated an interactive roundtable discussion with the Partnering Committee called “A Page Out of the Playbook (Highlighting the Partnering Guide)”. Session attendees were given a project ‘problem’ scenario and then worked as a team to discuss a resolution. Stephen’s guidance gave the members a better understanding of how to use the MDQI Partnering Playbook to help resolve issues.   MdQi attendees included Kathleen Linehan, PE, Jason R. Backover, CCM, Heidi Van Luven, P.E., Sara Power, Stephen McVeigh, PMP, and Paul Bender.
