Across the United States, weather-driven disruption is no longer an episodic challenge but a persistent condition reshaping public investment priorities. Intensifying rainfall, rising seas, prolonged heat, and expanding wildfire zones are placing unprecedented strain on aging infrastructure systems that were never designed for today’s climate realities.   Federal data shows that billion-dollar weather disasters now occur multiple times each year, while state and local governments face mounting costs tied to flood damage, emergency response, and deferred maintenance. As a result, resilience planning has shifted from a long-range aspiration to a near-term necessity. Communities are accelerating design, engineering, and procurement schedules for flood protection, stormwater upgrades, fire response facilities, and coastal defenses, creating a growing pipeline of capital projects expected to create an abundance of contracting opportunities for private sector firms in 2026, 20...

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. —Garney, a national water and wastewater contractor with two regional offices in Florida, has broken ground on the South Hillsborough Pipeline, a new 26-mile potable water pipeline with a capacity of 65 million gallons per day (MGD) for Tampa Bay Water. The $505.7 million investment is the largest project in Tampa Bay Water’s history in both value and pipeline length. Once complete, the project will help meet increasing water demands driven by rapid population growth across the Tampa Bay region. “The south Hillsborough community needs this water; this is water for residents, businesses, hospitals, schools and emergency services,” said Maribel Medina, Planning and Project Director for Tampa Bay Water. “And it will take all of us—Tampa Bay Water, Hillsborough County, Garney and the community—working together to complete this project.” The pipeline is divided into two segments that connect to three key water facilities. Pipeline installation will use a combina...

The spaceframe debuts a new technology that could revolutionize spaceframe design, and showcases innovation, sustainability, and hands-on architectural learning through a multi-year collaboration between The Catholic University of America School of Architecture and the National Building Museum. WASHINGTON, D.C. —Architecture students from The Catholic University of America will build a massive floating spaceframe in the  National Building Museum  in Washington, D.C., using sustainable materials and new technology that was designed in part by a student and professor at the University. This new approach could revolutionize spaceframe design and construction to be more sustainable, efficient, flexible, and affordable. Spaceframes appear in everything from geodesic domes and long-span roofs to solar arrays, aerospace systems, stadiums, and entertainment venues like The Sphere in Las Vegas. The Catholic University students will build The Wave, a soaring 180-by-55-foot, 4,300-pou...

Denver, CO  –The United States is facing a desperate need for engineers. The  Boston Consulting Group  estimates the country will require about 400,000 new engineers each year. Yet nearly one in three engineering roles go unfilled due to a skills gap. The consequences are already visible, from delayed infrastructure projects to strained utilities, and communities waiting longer for essential services. Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) is helping tackle this challenge head-on by preparing students with on-the-ground experience, leadership and teamwork training, and the development of real-world problem-solving skills that employers say are missing in recent graduates.  As the  American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Governors Association  call for strategic training and partnerships to address the generational engineering workforce shortage, EWB-USA is responding by showing students that engineering is more than just calculations a...
