Parsippany, NJ — As  SESI Consulting Engineers  (“SESI”) marks its 50th anniversary, the firm is addressing a fundamental shift that is reshaping real estate development across the Northeast: engineering feasibility is increasingly determining whether projects move forward long before design or approvals begin. Rising construction costs, evolving environmental regulations, infrastructure limitations, and extended municipal review timelines are driving developers to evaluate risk, cost, constructability, and sustainability at the earliest stages of site selection. As a result, geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering input is now central to development decision-making, not simply design execution. “For fifty years, engineering often entered the process after a site was already under control and a concept was defined,” said Michael St. Pierre, President of SESI Consulting Engineers. “Today, we are involved much earlier in the process, and ...

ST. LOUIS – Lawrence Group is providing architecture, interior design, and planning services for East Central College’s new Allied Health and Advanced Manufacturing Building in Rolla, MO.

An £18 million investment in stormwater management infrastructure at Walton-on-the-Naze will bring essential additional protection to the Essex coast in the event of severe weather conditions. Forming part of Anglian Water’s ongoing programme to improve resilience within its network, the scheme involves the construction of a new 5,000m³ storm tank and associated tunnelling works adjacent to the existing Walton-on-the-Naze terminal pumping station. Work will be delivered through Anglian Water’s @one Alliance, the strategic delivery vehicle for Anglian Water’s Integrated Main Works programme, with civil engineering, MEICA and infrastructure specialist Barhale acting in the role of principal contractor for the scheme. The new storm tank will feature an innovative “pill shaped” design to avoid the course of an existing aquifer and sewer and will be built using a diaphragm wall with excavation from within. It will be connected to an existing storm tank through a new 84m lon...
