Coastal areas face constant challenges from natural forces like waves, tides, and storms. These forces can cause erosion, flooding, and damage to infrastructure. To protect these valuable shorelines, we need effective and sustainable engineering solutions. These solutions not only safeguard communities and ecosystems but also promote long-term resilience. In this post, I will share insights into protective and sustainable shoreline engineering solutions that can help maintain

Managing stormwater effectively is a critical challenge for communities and infrastructure managers. With increasing urbanization and climate variability, traditional drainage systems often fall short in handling heavy rainfall and runoff. This can lead to flooding, water pollution, and damage to roads and properties. To address these issues, I want to explore innovative solutions for sustainable stormwater management that can help maintain safe, compliant, and operational in

Erosion quietly threatens the safety and stability of Florida’s highways. While roads and slopes may look solid on the surface, hidden damage often develops beneath. This silent problem can lead to sudden slope failures, endangering drivers and causing costly repairs. Understanding the causes of erosion and how to maintain slopes properly is essential for public agencies, private communities, and asset managers, especially after storms or heavy rains. Why Erosion is a Hidden

Flooding poses a constant threat to Florida’s communities. The state’s unique climate and geography make managing stormwater a critical task. When drainage systems fail, the consequences can be severe: washed-out roads, flooded neighborhoods, damaged infrastructure, and polluted waterways. Maintaining highway drainage is not just about keeping roads clear; it protects lives, homes, and the environment. Highway culvert after maintenance, showing clear water flow Why Drainage M

Highways often catch our eye when they look new: fresh asphalt, wider lanes, or added shoulders. Yet, the real strength of America’s transportation system lies in something less obvious but far more important—routine highway maintenance. While new construction grabs headlines, maintenance quietly prevents billions of dollars in failures every year and keeps roads safe for millions of drivers. Maintaining highways is not just about fixing potholes. It involves a complex set of
