Colorado Department of Transportation’s Post

We're kicking off our celebration of Infrastructure Week with Caltrans’ American River Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Sacramento! This essential artery was beginning to display signs of wear — the kind that comes from years of faithful service. Recognizing the importance of timely care, Caltrans mobilized a project team to rejuvenate this key connection. Beyond the immediate need for rehabilitation, this project embodies a forward-thinking approach to urban planning. The introduction of a multi-use bike/pedestrian path as part of the bridge's redesign aligns with Sacramento's 2016 Bicycle Master Plan, bridging the gap between downtown and eastern Sacramento. This path will provide safe, accessible connections to medical centers, employment opportunities, and activity hubs, promoting a healthier, more sustainable mode of transportation. At the heart of this project is our dedication to quality management. With Atlas' on-call Quality Assurance (QA), source inspection, materials engineering, and construction inspection services, we ensure that every aspect of this project meets the highest standards of excellence. #InfrastructureWeek #UnitedForInfrastructure #Connectivity #Mobility #QualityAssurance #QualityManagement #MaterialsEngineering #ConstructionInpsection #UrbanPlanning #SustainableFuture

Introducing the third instalment of our “Meet the Team” series! Today, we’re highlighting Josh Gleadell, our Rail Technical Manager. We’ve asked him a series of questions to learn more about his role and contributions to Rosehill. Stay tuned for more as we continue to celebrate the talented individuals on our team and their positive impact on our community and industry! 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲: Josh Gleadell 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲: Rail Technical Manager 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹: I worked for two summers on the shop floor when I was at school and have been full-time for the last six years. Working in different roles including Highways production, Rail production planning and technical management. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳? In my four years managing the technical department, there are too many to count, but one that stands out is the new Taff’s Well Metro Depot in Wales. It was great to be involved with every stage of the project, from designing the rail crossing panels for an extremely tight radius to installation over a rainy weekend. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀? I spend a lot of my free time with my two-year-old son. He really enjoys watching aeroplanes, so he comes to the airport to watch me off when I travel for work. I also enjoy training in Jiu-Jitsu, where I have attained a blue belt. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿? Work hard and be nice to all people. You’ll be amazed how far you can go with this simple motto. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆? A difficult choice, but it would have to be our Systems Manager, Cath Emmett. I really enjoy developing new systems of work and automating repetitive tasks, so I would like to see what can be done with dedicated hours and resources to this project. Only for a day, though!

As cities grow, managing busier intersections becomes increasingly challenging for traffic engineers and technicians. Springdale, AR, provides a vivid example of a bustling city that experiences moderate to heavy daily congestion. #trafficmanagement#Cyclops https://lnkd.in/gg-89Jgu

Using flaggers for traffic control falls into the bucket of "the way it has always been done." Flagging is extremely dangerous, standing in live traffic for 8-10-12 hours daily. Contractors often default to using flaggers on projects that could otherwise be managed with time-tested solutions, like Portable Traffic Signals. There will always be a need for human flaggers; they just don't need to be used as often as you might think. Here's another example.....

The FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation has five strategic priorities that align our growing team toward a common purpose and drive performance. Priorities also enhance accountability and transparency. Here are our focus areas: Maintain Our Perfect Safety Record: In 40 years of regulation and more than 800 FAA-licensed or permitted operations, AST has an unvarnished record of safety. We have met our mission on every flight – we have protected the public from harm, safeguarded property, and upheld national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. Maintaining safety is the key to the uninterrupted growth and success of this industry that has become an important economic engine for our nation. Make Determinations Faster: The United States has experienced a tremendous surge in demand for commercial space transportation in recent years and AST has been meeting those needs. As recently as 2019 and 2020, we were doing about 30 launches or reentries a year. In FY 2024, we reached 148 operations. Industry, Congress and others want to see us make determinations faster, and we do too. We’ve taken a number of steps to increase our efficiency – including increasing staffing to handle licensing, permitting and inspections. Streamline Processes: We have provided an assortment of simple and transparent aids, including checklists and visual tutorials, to assist operators with license applications. We’re investing in a new tool that will make it easier for operators to track their progress, and communicate with our licensing team, increasing efficiency. Communicate Clearly: We are committed to regulatory clarity so that operators know what it takes to fly safely and protect the public from harm. We want to be sure that our regulations are understandable, actionable and achievable. We have been holding workshops, and office hours – recently expanded to cover a larger range of safety analysis topics – for industry to ask questions and discuss issues. We accept speaking engagements, do media interviews, and are widely available to operators. Be a Transformative Safety Leader: Other nations with burgeoning commercial space industries look to us for leadership and guidance on how to build their programs. As the nation with the most mature industry in the world, we want to continue to lead and demonstrate a safe, responsible, sustainable, peaceful use of space.

Last week I had the opportunity to spend the day with some of the Land Consents team, looking at how we shape our future. A snapshot of some of the questions we asked ourselves: What is our utopia i.e. our vision? Using SWOT what is holding us back from achieving our vision? What are the objectives that will help us achieve our vision? How do we achieve our objectives… what’s the plan? What are our methods for evaluating the objectives and the plan? In asking these questions we were able to develop a coherent and achievable way forward. After days like this you can’t help but leave the room motivated and excited for what’s next. #Savills #LandConsents #Infrastructure #Utilities #Strategy #StrategicPlanning #Change #Leadership #Growth
