It's always a great day when we get to talk with future design professionals! Yesterday, Senior Engineer Ken Sides, PE, CNU-a, LCI led instructor Tina Boyd's University of South Florida graduate transportation class on an exciting tour of local roundabouts. #tampa #florida #EngineeringStudents #engineering #design #TrafficEngineering #EngineeringEducation

There are many benefits to choosing used equipment over new. Innovations aren't added to models year after year, meaning you can get similar technology at a better price. 💲 Get your construction jobs done with ease when you get your used equipment from Dynamic Equipment Group. 💪

Engineering and architectural firms are faced with risk-versus-reward-related decisions at virtually every turn. Sometimes the decision is squarely within the wheelhouse of the engineering and architectural professionals: Can a project be designed such that risk of damage to the structure, related structures, people, etc. be avoided? Or is the assumed risk on a particular project properly aligned with the potential to earn a profit? Those questions may be at the heart of a professional services practice, but today a successful firm must pay attention to so much more. In the most recent issue of Zweig Group's The Zweig Letter, Garver’s General Counsel Kurtis John shares four areas of concern that firms shouldn't overlook when mitigating risk.

I've written a new (premium) post in the series of articles that describe how engineering leaders can do more with less in the post-zero interest rate era: Doing more with less, part 3: Buy don’t build using Wardley Mapping. It describes how to use Wardley mapping to identify those parts of your application you should buy instead of building. This will free up resources to focus on building those parts of the application that provide a competitive advantage. To learn more, please read the article: https://lnkd.in/g-wQHP-Z

[Sponsored content] Enhancing standards of comfort in both work and living environments necessitates the consideration of building isolation. Elastic building isolation offers the means to strike a harmonious balance between dynamic optimisation and structural integrity. This webinar by Getzner - engineering a quiet future explores the interplay between the elastic bearing, serviceability limit state (vibration reduction), and the ultimate limit state.

I’ve had the pleasure of catching up with a few midstream companies here in the Denver area where I’ve known the key decision makers for Engineering & Design services for quite some time, yet Freezer Engineering wasn’t part of their selection set for consideration on upcoming projects. I opened the conversation acknowledging that they most likely aren’t looking for Engineering & Design services today, however, when they hypothetically are looking for Engineering & Design services 3 months from now what keeps Freezer Engineering from being part of that selection set. The information was just fascinating. Getting that upfront and straight feedback was so helpful for both of us. After comparing perceptions, we found that there were many services they were looking for the Freezer Engineering now has great capability in. In other words, Freezer Engineering had grown in capability and execution abilities since that first perception was drawn. And as well there were some areas that Freezer Engineering needs to grow into. Bottom line, I know that we are catering our facilities services for a niche in this market and never want to be all for everyone. But where we provide good solid services, I want to get that message out. We keep growing our team and increasing our competitiveness. Could we schedule a slide show / catered lunch for you and your team? Or grab coffee or lunch and learn more about what you look for when selecting Engineering & Design companies?
