Daphne King was recently elected to serve on the 2021-2022 National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee.

“I am excited to serve on this committee and represent GEI at the request of the president!” says Daphne. “What excites me most is to see the action taken by NSPE to adopt a professional policy on diversity, focusing on an amended Code of Ethics for Engineers to make anti-discrimination a professional obligation. I will be part of the Advisory Committee that provided guidance to the Board of Directors ensuring responsiveness to member concerns with the Engineers’ Creed, in development of an update to the 1954 document in consideration of the recently adopted professional policy on diversity.”

Across the country areas continue to expand, growing the need for additional capacity on the roads that connect our communities to work and recreation. A recent project along State Highway 71 between Bastrop and Austin, Texas provided an opportunity for our integrated team design concepts to merge , and water resources teams to review hydraulic structures, optimize the road profile/design, and reduce flood impacts along the 2.5 mile project length.

Moving from schematic designs to construction required a refined hydraulic analysis to be performed – updating flows from NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall, modeling split flow and numerous hydraulic structures, including a structure straddling the creek. Our efforts included a range of modeling scenarios, multiple software model versions, and alterations to determine an appropriate solution.

Join Hank Amen and Michael Pantell at the Texas Floodplain Management Association – Fall Technical Summit. Session C9, starting at 3:25pm on Thursday, August 26. We look forward to sharing lessons for the hydraulic and road design efforts that provided a lower cost option for SH71 upgrades currently under construction.

Hayden is currently providing construction management for the DART Platform Extensions project, including the extension of 28 platforms to accommodate additional light rail vehicles due to ridership demand and the need for additional cars at the stations. We are excited to be a part of the improvements and upgrades that this bill will support, and look forward to continuing to support DART!
