Calling infrastructure enthusiasts - have you ever thought of your work this way? (see quote from one of Burns & McDonnell and 1898 & Co. founders). While I'm not so sure the "romantic" part resonates in 2024, the rest of Robert McDonnell's words from nearly 100 years ago ring truer to me than ever before. Planning, designing, building and maintaining all kinds of critical infrastructure saves human lives and adds to the health, happiness and prosperity of our communities. Having worked in the public and private sectors (a couple of times each) and seeing infrastructure sectors converging - I know what you do matters! We can all look for opportunities to collaborate more in our work teams and across sectors keep those words vibrant for another 100 years!

Getting this week started with a course on Critical Infrastructure and Community Lifelines! #southcarolina #alwayslearning #criticalinfrastructure #criticalinfrastructureprotection #disasterpreparedness #emergencypreparedness #emergencymanagement

How ready are you to face the worst? Major infrastructure disasters are thankfully rare. But every infrastructure designer, builder, operator, owner and public authority should plan to face their own, and be ready to learn from others. #disasterresponse #emergencyresponse

It's #InfrastructureWeek in DC, and #TeamDMOI hopes you join us in celebrating the Bowser administration’s significant investments in infrastructure programs, like bridge, roadway, & environmental projects; workforce development; & more. Learn more at infrastructure.dc.gov.

Transit systems are a part of everyday lives and are one of the most important services that our communities can offer, so what happens when a crisis hits, and they can’t provide everyday services to the public? Transit systems face potential risks every single day, so it’s important to always stay aware and prepared. Check out our recent blog to discover what challenges transit infrastructure could face and how Sasser is ready to be the expert helpers in times of need.

Excellent panel discussion from The Leaders Moving the I-4 Corridor Foward. Several exciting infrastructure improvements planned for Central Florida roadways.

More than four million miles of public roads run through the U.S., and while they are crucial for the movement of people and goods around the country, they also affect the ecosystem by disrupting the movement of wildlife and other natural processes. Rivers and floodplains are constrained or altered by bridges and levees; salmon are prevented from swimming upstream by culverts or other barriers; the movements of elk, moose, and cougars are restricted by highways that wildlife can’t cross. Funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act presents us a chance to rethink the ways that transportation infrastructure interacts with the environment. Tribes, state agencies, local governments, and nonprofits are working together to plan and complete infrastructure improvements that contribute to Puget Sound ecosystem and salmon recovery. This relationship between the recovery and transportation sectors creates better outcomes for people, salmon, and the environment. Long Live the Kings is excited to be working with our partners to make positive infrastructure improvements that benefit both our communities and ecosystems. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gZ7BXr5S.
