How do we define a successful park? What do people remember? How do the landscape and buildings?work together to define?a space that creates belonging? What role does art play in the process?of creating local?meaning?? How do we adjust to climate change? Mark Johnson, AIA, LEEDap bdc speaks with Michael Shiosaki, the Director of Parks & Community Services at the City of Bellevue, Washington, exploring his wide and deep experience with placemaking in this region.

Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gGjq4VtZ Each year, Trenchless Technology’s December issue looks at engineering in the trenchless market. The annual Top 50 ranking provides a snapshot of the scope of work competed by the leading trenchless engineers and an overview of annual market performance.

Shannon & Wilson is attending the Society of American Military Engineers Federal Small Business Conference (SBC) in New Orleans, Louisiana from November 20-22. Our own Mark Ohlstrom and Robert Blasberg will be in attendance. We look forward to seeing you there!

Earlier this week, Bill Laprade captivated a full house at the AEG Nisqually Chapter meeting, reflecting on his 50+ years as an engineering geologist at Shannon & Wilson. Bill shared highlights from his remarkable career, which spanned the globe from South America to Taiwan to both coasts of the U.S., and included a diverse range of projects, from high bridges, forestry, and utilities to landslides and glacial geology. His development of geologically oriented profiles revolutionized the presentation of subsurface conditions in our profession. Thank you, Bill, for your contributions to our field! #ShannonWilsonSeattle

It’s been a great time for Shannon & Wilson's Boise office this week at Idaho's 2024 Transportation Convention in Coeur d'Alene! Stan Crawforth, Greg Fischer, Justin Stoffel, PE, Bill Capaul, and Carolina Albor took the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, exchange insights and deepen relationships with clients across the Idaho region. #ShannonWilsonBoise

Next up in the United States Permafrost Association's Technical Training Webinar Series: Shannon & Wilson's Oliver Hoopes will discuss the design and performance of the Lost Creek Thermal Improvements Project, which addressed slope movement and landslide risk at a site along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Additional background and registration information can be found here: https://ow.ly/wK0C50U5ILU The pipeline at Lost Creek traverses a north facing slope with discontinuous, warm permafrost underlain by a frozen peat bog. This peat layer contains a shear zone that moves as the permafrost degrades, causing the pipeline’s vertical support members to tilt, which required expensive maintenance. The seminar will describe how Shannon & Wilson designed and installed a system of vertical passive thermosyphons (FSHPs) and woodchip surface insulation to cool the permafrost and mitigate these risks. The seminar will highlight the project's use of 3D finite element thermal modeling to optimize the design of the FSHPs and insulation layout. Oliver will also present the performance of the system to date and how that compares to the model predictions. #ShannonWilsonSeattle #Permafrost #ArcticEngineering

Congratulations to Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety and City of Boulder OSMP for announcing the start of the Marshall Mesa Coal Fire Mitigation Project and Marshall Mesa Trailhead Project. ? The Marshall Mesa Coal Fire, which has been burning for more than a century, is located under the Marshall Mesa Trailhead. #ShannonWilsonDenver is proudly assisting CDRMS with mitigating the subsurface mine fire. Our services include providing construction observation and testing for approximately 72,000 cubic yards of earthwork required for the project. ? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gTiqS-qa

Shannon & Wilson's Chris Kemp will be present findings on the Sequim Fault and implications to project design at the November 14 AEG Puget Sound Chapter dinner meeting and presentation. Held in conjunction with the ASCE/Geo-Institute Group, the presentation will cover an evaluation of the fault, a previously poorly studied fault that intersects the Dungeness Off-Channel Reservoir project site on the northern Olympic Peninsula.
