ACEC’S ENGINEERING INC. — 2018 Engineering Excellence Award Winners
Wednesday, June 13th, 2018Guest on The Infra Blog: David A. Raymond, President & CEO, American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC)
Thursday, May 31st, 2018
We do not lack any capacity to do what’s needed to be done. We have thousands of engineering firms and contracting firms who are ready to take on an increased workload, and what we’re waiting for is for government agencies and private parties to pull the trigger to unleash that capacity. The constraints on moving forward can be summarized in two words: political will. There’s insufficient political will to undertake such a program, both in the administration and in the Congress.

Friday, April 20th, 2018
Already a marvel of 20th century engineering, the new Bayonne Bridge is now also a 21st century sensation. Since 1931, the iconic superstructure, formerly the world’s largest steel arched bridge, has spanned the Kill Van Kull, one of the most heavily traveled cargo-carrying waterways, accessing the port of New York and New Jersey. 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.”

Thursday, March 22nd, 2018
“I believe we need more engineers in elected office across the board. I talk to a lot of engineering groups and to engineering students, and I always encourage them to get involved in politics, whether they are going to run for office or not. The fact is the laws and rules propagated by those in elected office can have a lot of impact on engineering careers and what happens with the economy. It’s just important that engineers become more involved. I don’t know the exact number of engineers currently in Congress, but I do know there are two engineers who were just elected by special elections—Ron Estes, R-Kansas, and Greg Gianforte, R-Montana.”

Infrastructure made a brief appearance, but many stakeholders around the country, on both sides of the aisle, are left with questions about the exact nature of Trump’s $1.5 trillion infrastructure proposal.

Monday, January 29th, 2018
Will 2016 Election Promises for Significant Infrastructure Investment Be Kept? Today’s political environment can be summed up in two, frustrating words: partisan gridlock. Aside from the year-end sprint to pass tax reform, it has become next-to-impossible to enact major legislation in several areas, including transportation, water infrastructure and energy. Expectations for 2018 nonetheless, remain high.
