If you’re attending the Texas Chapter of APWA Conference today, stop by Room 7AB at 9:40am to learn how you can add value to your Public Works Project with a Value Engineering Study. #publicworks #valueengineering

End of March results from eGHOST Project and BEST4Hy Project will be presented in Zagreb. Happy to be able to emphasize the importance and the strategy of ecodesign in hydogen technologies. #hydrogeneconomy #ecodesign #lca #lcc #slca #sustainability University of Ljubljana, Faculty Of Mechanical Engineering

We’re excited to share that Katie Castelo, P.Eng from Isherwood Geostructural will be presenting at the DFI conference alongside Shawna Munn, P.Eng and Dave Wiley, P.Eng! They’ll be presenting their paper, "Performance Based Design: Why Aren’t We Leveraging It to Its Full Potential? Managing Opportunity, Safety, and Contract Risk". Here’s a sneak peek at the abstract: The Observational Method plays a vital role in subsurface engineering, but current contract methods don’t fully capitalize on its potential. The paper explores the benefits of performance-based design, drawing on 50 years of case histories to showcase how these methodologies can enhance safety, manage risks, and drive economic benefits. It also addresses the risks associated with specification-driven design parameters and proposes tendering approaches to better integrate performance-based design into contracts while protecting both owners and contractors. We hope you have the opportunity to attend their presentation at the 49th Annual Conference on Deep Foundations in Aurora, Colorado!

March is not just another month at Binnie —it's a celebration of engineering excellence! National Engineering & Geoscience Month, Canada's largest tribute to the world of engineering, applauds the incredible work of engineers and the critical role they play in our society. Presented by Engineers Canada, this annual campaign resonates with the theme, "There's a place for you in engineering,” which celebrates the diversity of thought, opportunities, and people that make up the engineering profession. Today, our goal is to start a discussion that can bring the role of engineers to the forefront this month. Some questions to consider include:  💡 How can we use engineering to contribute solutions to today’s biggest challenges?  💡 ️What do we want our profession to look like in the future? Comment below! 

CONFLATING STRUCTURAL SAFETY WITH LIFE SAFETY If you are confused by the title of this post, I encourage you to read Commentary L, part of the Structural Commentaries of the National Building Code of Canada. Commentary L provides a rational methodology for the evaluation of existing buildings and differentiates between life safety and structural safety.

Will be there in person - and busy. Avoiding Holes Vs Creating Plugs - panel Tuesday at 4 in Safety and Environmental Engineering track (a joint with Architecture). (only lists Luke Thomas) Then I run over to do: Concepts for Assurance of Adequately Secure and Resilient Systems Tuesday 4:30 in the T&E track And on Wednesday: SCRE from an Assurance-Informed Engineering Perspective at 5 in SSE track
