June 5th is World Environment Day and Canada’s Clean Air Day – a day to show our appreciate and efforts towards bettering our environment.  Our efforts today lay the foundation for tomorrow’s generation, a responsibility we at AME don’t take lightly. This is why we have a dedicated, in-house Building Performance team; an integral part of the project team, they work directly with the client and other disciplines to understand and optimize the building configuration, systems, and controls. Resulting in high-efficiency buildings that meet project energy goals, sustainability targets and schedules.

People often have misconceptions about what it means to work in Parks and Recreation. Things I've heard over my nearly 10 years in the field: 🌲 What do you do in the winter? 🌲 So do you mow grass too? 🌲 Well isn't that just playgrounds and stuff? 🌲 There can't be that many people working there? 🌲 That can't be a stable job - you should pick a different field. 🌲 Parks and Rec people do that too? 🌲 Don't you get bored? (HA!) 🌲 That must be a fun job! (The only one from the list that is actually true) Although working in parks and recreation IS a fun job, it is also a hard job. We do work year round, we do focus on making a difference and impacting the communities we serve - AND people don't realize that it take lots of different fields and experts to manage and run a park system. Everything that's needed to run a business - Finance, HR, Marketing, IT, Purchasing, Management, Warehousing, etc. - PLUS everything that's needed to design, build and maintain them - Engineering, Natural Resources Management, Planning and Development, Grant Writing, Programming, Maintenance, Operations and so much more. This video highlights one of those departments that most wouldn't think exist in park systems (and doesn't in all), but the Huron-Clinton Metroparks is fortunate to have dedicated in-house engineers behind every construction project with a focus on quality and serving our communities. Happy Engineer's Week to them and to all other engineers I know!

🌟 Exciting News from Radius! 🌟 Radius is thrilled to announce the successful energization of Cityline Block 3S in Sunnyvale by PG&E – and yes, the team did so on schedule, despite the challenging weather conditions in California.  Cityline Block 3S is a downtown infill project, consisting of 800,000 square feet of new construction, including retail, 479 total apartments, 53 affordable housing units, and a one acre public park. Ever wondered how a large and complex project achieves PG&E energization ahead of time with minimal plan revisions? Here's the winning formula: 1. Stellar Project Team Assembly: Hats off to Thor Hoskins, Jeff Smith and the rest of the Sares Regis Group team for putting together and leading an outstanding project team; BKF Engineers, Radius Design, Helix Electric and an extra shout out to Wes Sims of Build Group. Their collaborative approach has been evident in every aspect of the project. 2. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Our success story is woven with strong communication, dedication, and teamwork. Shoutout to the entire Cityline 3S team for fostering collaboration among various disciplines, ensuring a consistent flow of information and conflict resolution. 3. Top-notch Utility Support: We’d like to personally thank Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Industrial Power Engineer Visakha Bounlutay for her outstanding teamwork, responsiveness, and unwavering willingness to lend a hand. 4. Partnership with PG&E: Treating PG&E as a true partner has been pivotal. Special thanks to Matthew Ventura, PMP Kevin Douty and the PG&E New Business Technical and Advisory Committee for working closely with CBIA to streamline processes, resulting in vastly improved energization lead times.  5. Proactive Communication: Communication is the backbone of success. Another big shoutout to Visakha Bounlutay for her responsiveness and careful attention to the project's needs. And to Radius Project Manager Michael Cole, PE - your tireless efforts and strong communication skills are truly commendable. 6. Engineering Excellence: A round of applause for Radius Engineers Michael J. Eli and Franklin Dang, E.I.T. for engineering a rock-solid design that has successfully persisted through various challenges. At Radius, we believe in turning challenges into opportunities, and this achievement is a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit of our incredible team. Here's to more milestones ahead! #TeamWork #ProjectSuccess #EngineeringExcellence #cooperation #complexity When PG&E arrives to light up a new project, they do so in force:

Development across the Boston area is slowing as high interest rates and inflation make builders more hesitant to start new projects. But when the next wave of development comes, it will notably not take place downtown, in the Seaport or even Back Bay. It’ll be in underutilized stretches of Dorchester and Somerville, and historically industrial tracts of Allston, Charlestown and South Boston.

In the #engineering and #railway industry, gaining experience directly at the project site across diverse environments is invaluable 📚 Here are 10 takeaways that I learned while working in the field: ___ #RailwayEngineering #RailIndustry #OnSiteExperience

At the end of last year, our entire team took a day away from project tasks, coming together to discuss various company-related subjects. We explored the core values that unite us and influence our successful project deliveries. Additionally, we covered our aspirations for the upcoming years - both project and personal development-related. While much attention was given to looking ahead, we also paused to reflect on the accomplishments of the previous year. Here we share those reflections: https://lnkd.in/eeCJFUQ5 #CivilEngineering #Construction #Tier1
