A moment for Volkert’s Energy/Natural Gas group! Last week, the Volkert Natural Gas Team hosted a successful Lunch & Learn at Southern Company Gas headquarters in Atlanta. The event was held for SCG engineers to share our scope of services and how we can support future projects with Atlanta Gas Light, Chattanooga Gas, Nicor Gas, and Virginia Natural Gas. Special thanks to the Volkert team members who presented: Brandon D. Holt, PE, Andrew Weber, PE, N. Marie Njie, PhD, Jason Watkins, Felipe Arreola ✝️, and Jay Roberson. We also want to thank Bryan Bossart for his support on the presentation, as well as the Oil and Gas Committee led by SVP Jason Watters for their valuable input. Volkert appreciates this opportunity to partner with Southern Company Gas. #ThisisVolkert #Energy #NaturalGas #SouthernCompanyGas

🚧 National Work Zone Awareness Week | April 21-25, 2025 🚧 Every spring, National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) reminds us of the critical need for safety in highway work zones. This year’s theme, 'Respect the zone so we all get home,' reinforces the responsibility we all share in protecting workers and drivers. At Volkert, safety is at the core of everything we do. From planning to execution, we take every measure to protect our team members and the traveling public. As we recognize NWZAW, we encourage everyone to: ✅ Slow down in work zones ✅ Eliminate distractions behind the wheel ✅ Stay alert and follow posted signs 🔗 Looking for more info or training resources?

With National Work Zone Awareness Week and Distracted Driving Month underway, it's crucial to recognize the dangers of distracted driving, especially in work zones. Did you know that over 50% of Volkert employees are construction engineering inspectors who work in road construction work zones? As a passenger, you play a vital role in preventing distractions. If you notice the driver is distracted or engaging in dangerous behavior, speak up. Say no to anything that takes the driver’s attention away from the road, whether it's the radio, GPS, or adjusting the ventilation. Help keep the driver focused on the signs, landmarks, and traffic around them. Together, we can reduce distractions and protect everyone on the road. #DDAM #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth #ThisisVolkert #DriveSafely #EyesForward #DriveSafe #NSC #DriveSafe

#Volkert100 | Boredelonville Floodgate Built between 1929 and 1931, the Bordelonville Floodgate was a key component of the Mississippi River and Tributaries program, which was part of the Flood Control Act of 1928. This important infrastructure project was designed to divert potential floodwaters from the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana away from populated areas and direct them into adjacent water bodies, helping to protect communities from flooding. In recognition of its historical significance, the Bordelonville Floodgate was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, further solidifying its place in engineering history. Stay tuned as we continue to highlight the milestones and achievements that have shaped Volkert’s legacy over the past 100 years. #Volkert100 #ThisisVolkert #VolkertHistory #100YearsStrong #EngineeringLegacy

Got some of the best news this week! Feeling very accomplished and fortunate to be in such a rewarding profession.

In March 2025, Traci Williams, CCM, Program Manager at Volkert, was honored by Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin as one of the city’s StrongHer candidates, a program he launched to celebrate and elevate women making a difference in Birmingham. Now in its fifth year, the StrongHer campaign highlights women who are breaking barriers and creating lasting change in their communities. Volkert is proud to celebrate Traci Williams, a leader who has helped shape Birmingham’s infrastructure for over 20 years. Growing up in Birmingham, Traci was drawn to building and problem-solving, which led her to study engineering and later earn a BS degree in Building Science from Auburn University. After gaining experience in construction, Traci joined Volkert, where she has managed over $1 billion in projects that have transformed the city. She has played a key role in major projects such as the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport - BHM expansion and the Birmingham Xpress Bus Rapid Transit System. The BRT project was especially meaningful to her, as its East Terminus Station was built near the neighborhood where she grew up. Traci is also a founding board member of The Brilliant Black Girl Collective, helping to raise scholarship funds for Black female high school seniors in Birmingham. “I was one of those kids who believed the teachers when they said you can be anything you want to be. It was important for me to give back to little Black girls like me," says Williams. 🔗 Read more on our insights page here: https://loom.ly/g9GSl9E #ThisisVolkert #EmployeeSpotlight

Volkert recently attended the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Conference, alongside professionals and transportation leaders.

As a new Associate Business Member of ASLRRA, Volkert brings a century of experience in delivering infrastructure solutions across the country. We’re proud to support short line and regional railroads by providing specialized engineering and program management services including railroad design and CEI, bridge design, site civil design, NEPA compliance, grant writing, GIS mapping, and program/construction management. We’re excited to be part of the ASLRRA community and to support the continued growth and success of short line and regional railroads. #ThisisVolkert #Railroad #ProgramManagement #ASLRRA #Volkert100 #ShortLineRailroads

#Volkert100 | Bonnet Carre Spillway Shortly after the company’s founding, the Great Flood of 1927 prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin one of the largest civil engineering projects in U.S. history, the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project. Our firm’s contribution to this effort included designing the foundations for the Bonnet Carré Spillway. The spillway, located about twelve miles upriver from New Orleans, is made up of a complex system of floodgates that were constructed to help manage floodwater from the Mississippi River. Nearly a century after its construction, the spillway remains a vital piece of infrastructure that continues to protect the region by diverting potential floodwaters into Lake Pontchartrain. #Volkert100 #ThisisVolkert #VolkertHistory #100YearsStrong #EngineeringLegacy
