STONY BROOK, NY— The State University of New York at Stony Brook (Stony Brook University) is developing a new Digital Twin Studio that will advance power grid research and resilience. As electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and connected technologies place new demands on the grid, utilities will need better ways to anticipate problems before they affect homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Researchers also need safe environments to test new technologies and resilience strategies.  The Digital Twin Studio looks to provide this testing ground and will allow researchers, students, utilities and public agencies to model electrical distribution systems and examine how the grid may respond to outages, extreme weather, cyberattacks, equipment failures and changing energy demands. Led by the   Center for Grid Innovation Development and Deployment  (GrIDD) at the   Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center  (AERTC), the initiative is moving...

CHICAGO – North Carolina State University won the 2026 Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Big Beam competition, an annual nationwide challenge that encourages college students to demonstrate excellence in structural design, teamwork, and innovation using precast, prestressed concrete. The winning team included Logan Bonner and Conrad Kang. Their faculty advisor was Gregory Lucier and PCI producer-member Tindall Corporation provided project support. Teams of students and a faculty advisor design, build, and test a 20-foot, precast, prestressed concrete beam. Local PCI-certified precast concrete producers mentor and fabricate the beams for the teams. Entries are judged on a variety of criteria, including the beam’s load-resisting performance in tests that simulate real-life conditions structural building and infrastructure components must endure to ensure life safety, as well as the quality of their analysis and reports, and a video overview of their project. “Cong...

By Liisa Andreassen   Comprehensive Environmental Inc. (CEI) has built a culture that outlasts trends, growth spurts, and industry norms – and its leadership says the secret is refusing to treat employees as a line item.  Plenty of AEC firms can point to revenue growth, expanding project rosters, or a widening geographic footprint. Fewer, however, can point to a workforce that consistently tells outside surveyors that they genuinely like where they work. CEI has done the latter long enough that it’s become part of the firm’s identity. And as a repeat honoree on the Best Firm to Work For list , their presence is not built on marketing copy but on anonymous employee data.  For Stephanie Hanson, PMP, CSE, Principal Scientist and Project Manager at CEI, the recognition isn’t a surprise so much as a confirmation.   “The results confirmed that we are on the right track with regards to company culture, flexibility, work/life balance, project content, project v...

Engineering solution moves nearly 7 million lb of structural steel across remote canyon in one of the longest steel plate-girder launches of its kind ALASKA: Global engineering consultancy COWI has completed the erection engineering behind the launch of the Juneau Creek Bridge across one of Alaska’s most challenging bridge sites, using specialized temporary works, staged structural analysis and wind engineering to move nearly seven million lb of structural steel across the canyon. The bridge is the signature structure on the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities’ (AKDOT&PF) Sterling Highway MP 45–60 project near Cooper Landing. Its 440-ft main span crosses a steep, environmentally sensitive canyon where conventional erection from below was severely constrained. Rather than constructing the superstructure piece by piece over the canyon, the project team assembled the full-width, five-girder steel superstructure on one side before launching...
