Tuesday, May 15th, 2018
Clean water is vital to public health, environmental and social well-being, and economic development. One of the most important elements in maintaining clean water in urban areas involves a system of sanitary sewers that direct wastewater to treatment before it is released into surrounding streams, rivers, lakes or oceans. This responsibility largely falls to local governments. Most large urban areas in New York State are served by municipal sewer systems, many of which commingle the water from rain and snow melt (“stormwater”) with the wastewater from homes and businesses in “combined sewer systems.” The flows from combined sewers can overwhelm treatment systems and have a harmful impact on the environment.

Friday, April 20th, 2018
Already a marvel of 20th century engineering, the new Bayonne Bridge is now also a 21st century sensation.

Engineering firms HDR and WSP USA joined forces to modernize the bridge and allow larger ships to cross under it. At the Engineering Excellence Awards Gala, hosted by ACEC on April 17th, Milestone 1 of the “Raising the Bayonne Bridge” project was awarded the highest honor of “Grand Conceptor.”
