We support our teammates in getting—and staying—actively involved in professional societies and organizations. The benefits are manifold, as Karen Tatman, ACEC Oregon National Director and principal engineer with 30 years of experience, articulates perfectly: “I’ve found expanding our collaborators to those in professional organizations allows us to make more valuable advancements quicker, which is critical as our communities grow and infrastructure ages.”

Consor is excited to announce its latest partnership with American Consulting Professionals, a multidisciplinary firm specializing in planning, design, and construction services for public transportation infrastructure. Based in Florida and Georgia, American’s team of 80 professionals is driven by a shared vision of providing innovative and tailored solutions to serve communities through exceptional service.

Transforming communities through engineering isn’t just about the infrastructure—it’s about changing the narrative of who can design and deliver that infrastructure. That’s why Ashy French is so passionate about sharing her story and helping young people see their future in STEM.

Whether on a construction site or volleyball court, Mike Hagerty’s approach to fostering a successful team remains the same. And he’s bringing this winning approach to our growing construction services group in Washington—it’s all about the right people and a shared build-others-up ethos.

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.
