Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. returned to UC San Diego for the annual Structural Engineer's Day Career Fair. Associate Project Manager, Rachelle Child, PE and Project Engineer, Megan Engle represented PSE for the day, showcasing a few of our latest and most innovative projects. A big thank you to UC San Diego's Society of Civil and Structural Engineers (SCSE) and Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) for hosting an event that provides an opportunity to connect and engage with incoming structural engineers. It was fantastic meeting all who stopped by our booth and we look forward to welcoming these future engineers into the industry.

Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. was happy to participate as a sponsor for the recent San Diego Committee - Water For People 13th Annual Luncheon Fundraiser.?PSE’s Galit Ryan, P.E., Joe Wendt, PE and Megan Engle were in attendance with many industry colleagues to support Water For People’s mission to end water poverty.?Many thanks to the San Diego Committee as well as the Masters of Ceremony Kimberly Thorner and Vic Bianes for hosting such a memorable event and for their remarkable efforts in maximizing the funds raised through donations and the live auction. PSE is proud to support this important cause and looks forward to continuing our commitment to its success in the future.

Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. is happy to have participated with the ACEC CA San Diego Chapter and The City of San Diego Engineering and Capital Projects Department Annual Golf Tournament in support of a scholarship fund.?Thanks to Sr. Project Manager, Joe Wendt, PE and Project Engineer, Megan Engle for joining engineering industry colleagues from KTUA Landscape Architecture and Planning for a fun day on the course.?The event marked the 23rd Annual Tournament with all proceeds allocated to scholarships for local engineering students.?Thank you ACEC CA San Diego Chapter and The City of San Diego E&CP Department for hosting a great event and supporting the future of our industry!

Roof with a view!?Not only does the 1.29 MG steel water storage reservoir in Renton, WA showcase a beautiful mural, its roof (towering at a height of 100’) has quite the view of the Puget Sound. The reservoir sits atop an extensive pile-supported mat foundation that was required to accommodate the site soil conditions. The 50’ diameter, 100’ tall reservoir provides the City’s Kennydale area with improved water supply reliability, increased storage capacity for fire and potable use and enhanced seismic resilience. PSE served as the structural designer for the reservoir, foundation, and site retaining wall and is proud to have been a part of the project team.

It was a full room at the American Water Works Association ACE 24 last week to hear Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. Sr. Project Manager, Ethan Alton, PE, SE’s presentation about Building the Tallest Prestressed Reservoir on the West Coast.?Ethan presented alongside Kari Duncan with Rockwood Water PUD and Justin Ford with CONSOR Engineers.?Many thanks to everyone in attendance!?PSE is proud to have been a part of the project team to deliver this important water infrastructure and is happy to share our insights with others in the water industry at the annual national conference.

We love to see our team volunteering in the community!?Thank you to Veronica Vest, PE and Anna Herren from Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc.'s Portland office who recently made use of PSE’s Volunteer Time Off program at two local sites.?Anna returned to volunteer at the Oregon Food Bank to prepare and bag fresh produce for families in need, and Veronica volunteered at North Clackamas Middle School where she coordinated and taught a bridge building activity to students in several classes.?Your volunteer time is much appreciated!

Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. is gearing up for the American Water Works Association ACE 24 Conference in Anaheim, CA!?Ethan Alton, PE, SE, Sr. PM, will be co-presenting about the Cascade Ground Water Alliance And Building The Tallest Prestressed Reservoir On The West Coast. The Cascade Groundwater Alliance is a partnership between the City of Gresham and the Rockwood Water People’s Utility District to establish self-sufficient ground water supply for their customers. The Alliance adds resiliency and cost efficiency to their systems. The Cascade Reservoir No. 2 is a 6.0MG, 66ft tall AWWA D110 prestressed concrete reservoir - roughly double the height of a typical reservoir of its type, which led to unique design requirements and construction practices. The presentation will cover the planning, design, and construction of the reservoir, as well as its function in the program.?We hope to see you there!

Congratulations are in order to the Rockwood Water Cascade Reservoir #2 project team! The project is a recipient of the ACEC Oregon 2024 Grand Award. Peterson Structural Engineers, Inc. is proud to be the structural engineer of record. Senior Project Manager, Ethan Alton, PE, SE shares about the project:
