Much of America’s wastewater systems were built between 1940 and 1980. Inflow and infiltration can overload these undersized, deteriorating systems during increasingly common wet weather events. Expert Brendan O’Sullivan explains how trenchless technology can be maximized to update these systems while minimizing costs and disruption to the community.

Christy Caputo lives and breathes Consor’s core value of integrity—taking care of each other unites us. This South Carolina-based senior safety specialist has made it her career to partner with other subject matter experts to protect her coworkers from harm.

For a recent large-diameter CIPP project, the team created a mini-manufacturing plant that allowed the resign and liner to be shipped separately and combined at the site. This unconventional trenchless installation process avoided huge logistical challenges and impacts to the community.

Joshua Owens is grateful he decided to pursue a creative profession—civil engineering. A water resources engineer, Josh funnels his creative energy (and two decades of experience) into projects that include stormwater management, stream and wetland restoration, and much more.

Rapidly expanding communities in Washington means pressure is mounting to provide affordable, reliable, and seismically resilient transportation infrastructure. That's why Consor is thrilled to formally launch our regional transportation design team.

On this International Women's Day, we’re spotlighting underrepresentation in engineering—women make up just 15% of America’s engineering workforce. Consor strives to fosters an inclusive culture and supports our teammates in participating in organizations that further amplify gender equity in the industry.

3D models are the new gold standard for model-based construction delivery, replacing 2D paper plans which have long been the go-to. Improving collaboration and constructability, 3D engineering models and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are worth the initial investment to make the shift. Here are four reasons why...

Sonar (sound navigation and ranging) uses sound waves to efficiently map what’s below the surface, like the floors of oceans, rivers, and lakes. In the engineering industry, this technology can help inspect large structures like bridges, docks, piers, and dams.

When Hurricane Florence’s record-breaking floodwaters threatened various piers not designed to be in the river, immediate action was needed to save the vital I-95 bridge. This project was recognized by ACEC of South Carolina with an Engineering Excellence Award.

As part of our effort to cultivate one of the largest and most accomplished SPRAT teams in the nation, Consor is proud to support our specialized team members accredited by Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT) in making the annual journey to initiate or update their certifications with a variety of trainings.

On Emery Street in Salt Lake City, an old sewer line was undersized and had recently been surcharging. To mitigate the problem, Consor designed a project to upsize and rehabilitate hundreds of feet of sewer pipe. In the end, it will more than double the original capacity!

Jake Cochran, underwater inspector on Consor's structural assessment team, doesn’t just follow the Federal Highway Administration Underwater Bridge Inspection Reference Manual, he’s helping update it.
