Civiltech’s Jennifer Hyman, P.E., and Phillip Hutchinson, PLA, LEED AP, lead a breakout session at the 110th Annual Transportation and Highway Engineering (THE) Conference, held February 27 and 28 in Champaign, IL. Jen and Phil together with CDOT’s David Miller and IDOT’s Kimberly Murphy presented, “Overview of the North DuSable Lake Shore Drive Phase I Study.” The presentation included the history and importance of the corridor, major project components, and the transformational opportunities that the project creates. It also provided a summary of community and stakeholder outreach efforts, as well as an update on project costs, construction, funding, and schedule. Kimberly opened the presentation with an introduction and overview. Jen then covered the history of the corridor and highlighted current safety and design deficiencies and challenges. She also presented overall project goals and shared information on the shoreline modeling. Phil walked through existing and proposed renderings illustrating existing challenges and proposed solutions. Phil included both aerial and pedestrian eye-level perspectives for discussion of the user experience. Dave then summarized the critical and involved public engagement efforts and spoke on project funding, costs, and the anticipated project schedule.

Bringing vegetation-based solutions into geotechnical engineering design: how do we make it happen? 14 Nov | 19:00 Hybrid This lecture explores how geotechnical engineering design can help protect aging infrastructure from the effects of climate change through the design and adaption of vegetation-based solutions. https://lnkd.in/etiS8dUb

Now that's what we call interesting engineering.

NBS and living shorelines are so important to coastal resiliency. Tetra Tech is providing communities the resources and support.

Great news! The Potable Water Reuse Report published by USC's new ReWater Center led by USC Professor Amy Childress, will be a major resource for the reuse community! Everyone interested should click on the link, view the introductory video, and sign up for the newsletter with your email. And I am very happy to serve on the Report Advisory Panel! #waterreuse #recycledwater #potablereuse #directpotablereuse

The use of rigid inclusions has evolved significantly over the last 20 years, as the engineering community has accepted them, but through this evolution, their purpose has changed. Evaluating that purpose and the potential risk (or lack thereof) associated with a project is key to optimizing the benefit of #RigidInclusions.  Read more about it in this Deep Foundations magazine article written by Menard USA Director of Engineering, Sonia Sorabella Swift, P.E.: https://lnkd.in/eU8x-NUv  #WhySettle #GroundImprovement #GeotechnicalEngineering
