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 soundwaves 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.
