Water Utilities Tackle PFAS Remediation
According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is linked to increased risk of a variety of health concerns to humans and other mammals, including some cancers. Many PFASs were used in the mid-20th century in products and on materials due to their enhanced water-resistant properties, such as within Teflon or aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) used to fight fires. Much is still being learned about PFAS, but these “...

Engineering The Future: The Future Starts Now
One of the new catch phrases in our field is “Smart Infrastructure.” My gut response: if this is what we’re doing now, were we building “dumb infrastructure” for decades? But seriously, we’re now looking at designing solutions that have many elements of AI and consider the asset’s lifecycle from the ground up. We’re regularly looking at the “cradle to grave” approach, from planning to design, construction, operations and ultimately decommissioning. As engineers, we look not at disparate element...

Executive Corner: Manage Conflicts of Interest When Selling Your Shares Internally or Externally
The “Executive Corner” column has discussed conflicts of interest in the past, but it’s worth revisiting to remind companies of their fiduciary obligations to minority shareholders, especially considering the recent number of mergers and acquisitions in the architecture, engineering and environmental consulting industry during the last few years. According to government statistics, through the next seven years, 10,000 Americans per day will be retiring—more than 25 million people. As firms explo...
