CONSOR had the great honor of designing the pedestrian bridge that leads visitors to the impressive Roden Crater. Located in the Painted Desert region of Northern Arizona, Roden Crater is an unprecedented large-scale artwork created within a volcanic cinder cone by light and space artist James Turrell. Our team worked with Mr. Turrell to successfully develop a design that fits within the landscape and relates to the theme of the entire artistic installation. The project and Mr. Turrell’s work are featured in this month’s issue of Smithsonian Magazine.

Working toward our purpose of inspiring vibrant communities, CONSOR’s team members in the Carolinas partnered with @friendsofreedyriver to clean up a portion of the Reedy River. We successfully hauled away 60 yards of debris from the @cityofgreenvillesc hometown river, including a log jam, seven tires, cassette tapes, a Frisbee, a 1940s military canteen, and a rubber duck. Can you guess the largest item we removed?

In honor of Earth Day and National Volunteer Month

In honor of Earth Day and National Volunteer Month, CONSOR’s Dive Team, hosted by @friendsofreedyriver, have volunteered their professional diving services to clean up hard-to-reach areas of Greenville’s Reedy River on Friday, April 23rd.
Using specialized diving equipment, CONSOR’s dive team will remove debris, targeting seemingly impossible to access locations along the infamous river in South Carolina that have never been cleaned up. The community is invited to Greenville’s Cleveland Park to observe their efforts from a safe distance. The clean-up will begin at 8:30 am.

Join CONSOR's Michael Dukes, PE tomorrow as he presents his expertise at the Bridge & Tunnel Inspectors’ Conference 2021. His presentation – “Underwater Bridge Inspections: Planning and Execution in Extreme Environments” – will highlight best risk-management practices for underwater inspections, including dive planning, inspection team qualifications selection, and the use of imaging technologies. The information presented comes directly from executed inspection plans for structures prone to scour, debris accumulation, water depths exceeding 100-ft, and high flow.

CONSOR is also a proud sponsor of this year’s event!

Shout out to our Florida CEI team for their hard work this weekend on the Homestead Extension (HEFT), Bird Road to SR 836. The project team received approval from @my_fdot to accelerate the Coral Way bridge demolition, with a total closure of Florida’s Turnpike in Miami (because of lighter traffic volumes). This demolition took less than 24 hours to accomplish. Per the plan, this was scheduled to be 6-7 nights of detours and nighttime construction. Because of the reduced traffic volume that Florida’s Turnpike is experiencing on the HEFT, the contractor closed all lanes on Friday evening and successfully demolished the Coral Way bridge over the southbound HEFT lanes in less than 24 hours.
Thanks to all involved including:
CONSOR SPE: Richard Lavin, PE

Prime Contractor: Community Asphalt Corporation
Bridge Demo Subcontractor: Condotte America
