Working Breakwaters
Along the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay, shoreline erosion has erased about 40,000 acres of land since 1850. Now a series of headland breakwater systems stems erosion up and down...
Historic Dam Rehab: Handle with Care
A growing number of dams across the U.S. are aging and in need of rehabilitation, but can they be brought up to current codes without compromising their historic integrity? Improved methods...
Manhole Rehabilitation
Manholes are frequently the forgotten element in infrastructure renewal. When they aren't properly maintained they allow excess water into the sewer system, and structural...
