SUMMARY:Digital Delivery: The Future is Now
DESCRIPTION:These three sessions will provide background on how to support our clients’ current and future needs by utilizing digital delivery to improve workflow and efficiency of final deliverable \nTOPICS & SPEAKERS\n\nConnected Structural Modeling in Revit\nGary Fay\,\nBIM Coordinator\, Simpson Gumpertz and Hager\nIn this presentation\, I will show you how to use Revit to create and model structural elements\, such as reinforced concrete or steel connections and with the use of common parameters in Revit and Dynamo scripts\, I will demonstrate how all the views and schedules are maintained from a single source of truth. Any change from that single source of truth will update all the other views that show the same information\, such as plans\, sections\, elevations\, schedules\, and 3D views. This can be done in any of the views that show the information and will eventually be sourced externally from design information. \n\n\nGIS – A Platform to Support AEC & Local Government\nDavid Kunz\,\nGISP – Vice President of Geospatial Services\, ARH Associates\n\n\n3D Digital Delivery for Bridge Projects: OpenBridge Designer\nAlex Mabrich\, PE\, MSC\, MBA\, PMP\, CPM\,\nManager. Product Management Bridge&Tunnel\, Bentley System\nThis course will review the BIM methodology applied to bridge projects using Bentley’s OpenBridge Designer. We will review the concepts of BIM\, LODs and Common Data Environment used in linear infrastructure projects as their application while modeling\, analyzing and\, designing all types of bridges. As part of the presentation\, we will discuss how OpenBridge Designer is being used to support NJDOT in the future of digital delivery. \n\nCost: Members: $65   |   Non-Members – $135 \nREGISTER NOW \nContact Meagan Rosina at mrosina@njpsi.com if you have any questions. \nInterested in becoming a member\, click here \nThank you to our Webinar Sponsor

SUMMARY:Climate Resiliency in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Designing for Floods\, Storms\, and Rising Sea Levels\nClimate change is dramatically increasing the frequency and severity of floods\, storms\, and sea-level rise\, which has been placing enormous stress on infrastructure\, communities\, and economies. For instance\, a recent study projects that by 2050\, the U.S. Gulf Coast alone may face $32 billion annually in climate-related damages\, particularly impacting areas like Harris County\, Texas\, and Broward County\, Florida. Engineers are essential in building resilient systems to withstand these escalating threats and safeguard the public. \nThe Engineering Challenges at Hand\n\nRising Sea Levels: Since 2020\, U.S. coastlines are expected to rise 10–12 inches by 2050\, on top of the previous century’s increase.\nStorm Surge Amplification: Hurricanes now ride on higher bases—today’s storm surges are about 8 inches higher than they would’ve been in 1900\, and could come with an additional 1–8 feet by 2100 .\nRecurring Flooding & Infrastructure Strain: In Hampton Roads\, Virginia\, repeated flooding increasingly disrupts transportation accessibility\, impacting vulnerable populations with limited ability to relocate.\n\nEngineering Resilience in Action: U.S. Case Studies\nNew Orleans: Over-Engineering for Safety\nAfter Katrina\, the Army Corps of Engineers built the Hurricane & Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS)—a $14 billion network of levees\, floodwalls\, pumps\, and barriers built to withstand a 100-year storm. Engineers incorporated conservative design assumptions\, effectively giving the city protection closer to a “200-year” storm level. This robust system proved crucial in protecting New Orleans during Hurricane Ida in 2021. \nSan Francisco Bay & Gulf Coast: Nature-Based Defenses\n\nIn the San Francisco Bay\, century-old salt ponds are being restored into marshlands—now recognized for their ability to absorb wave energy and buffer against storms .\nAlong Louisiana’s Gulf Coast\, authorities are employing sediment diversion\, barrier island rebuilding\, oyster reef structures\, and marsh restoration to combat erosion and storm surge—though not all projects have been politically or economically feasible .\n\nStaten Island: Dual-Purpose Seawall & Community Space\nThe proposed East Shore Seawall (Staten Island) is a $1.5 billion\, 5.2-mile coastal barrier with 6 m elevation height. It’s engineered to protect against up to 15.6 ft of flooding (2 ft above Sandy-era surge)\, while serving as an elevated linear park with wetlands\, trails\, and recreational areas. \nManaged Retreat: Strategic Relocation\nIn cases where hard infrastructure may not be viable\, some U.S. communities—such as Isle de Jean Charles\, Louisiana\, or Valmeyer\, Illinois—have participated in managed retreat efforts via government buyouts\, relocating structures from high-risk zones. \n  \nThe Essential Role of Professional Engineers\n\nEthical Leadership: Engineers must proactively consider long-term climate risks—prioritizing resilience over short-term costs or minimal compliance.\nCross-Disciplinary Coordination: Successful solutions often require collaboration across departments—planning\, ecology\, transportation\, local government\, infrastructure owners.\nAdvocacy: Professional engineers should push for updated codes\, infrastructure investment\, and funding that reflect climate realities.\nInnovation & Learning: Leveraging modeling technologies\, materials science\, and system thinking to improve resilience.\nCommunity Engagement: Ensuring solutions align with local needs and social equity—especially vital when working with vulnerable populations.\n\n  \nClimate resiliency in engineering isn’t just technical work—it’s about ensuring safe\, equitable\, and sustainable communities in the face of accelerating climate threats. By combining robust design\, natural solutions\, and forward-thinking planning\, professional engineers can lead the charge toward a calmer\, more resilient future.
