New York awarded $35 million for stormwater, flood resilience and wastewater planning projects, with another $45 million opening for applications in October.
Montana Tech's first environmental engineering camp gives high school students hands-on experience as demand for environmental talent continues to grow.
Hospitals are competing with data centers and infrastructure projects for electricians and HVAC crews, raising costs for maintenance and energy upgrades.
One-third of the U.S. water workforce can retire within a decade, and BLS projects 10,000 operator openings a year even as total headcount shrinks.
Equipment availability is only one project variable. Skilled labor, contractor capacity and permitting increasingly determine when infrastructure gets built.
California's building electrification push is changing the skills facilities teams need to operate heat pumps, electrical systems and low-carbon buildings.
Steel, transformers and electrical equipment are rising at different rates, exposing gaps in construction escalation clauses for major infrastructure projects.
Battery failure rates fell 98% from 2018 to 2024 as developers moved safety testing, fire planning, and public engagement earlier in development.
AI could help orchard robots stay on course. A new system combines drone imagery and LiDAR to cut mapping drift and improve autonomous field operations on site.
PFAS restrictions are pushing manufacturers to rethink coatings. Femtosecond lasers could offer a chemical-free way to engineer water-repellent surfaces.
Outsourced engineers handle most U.S. grid design work, and Buy America rules and utility capital spending are stretching queues before construction starts.
DOE selected TerraSpark Energy Campus in Grant County, West Virginia for up to $18.5 million to advance engineering and permitting for a 1.6 GW coal-with-carbon-capture project.
Canovation and CANPACK are preparing CanReseal for pilot-line use. The project tests whether resealable aluminum cans can fit existing production.
The regulatory framework for industrial radiography involves multiple federal and state agencies, dose limits that carry criminal exposure if violated, and compliance failures specific enough that inspectors arrive with a checklist most field crews have never read.
SANY is scaling local production as global equipment rules tighten. Its 2025 report links electrification, digital oversight and compliance.
Federal grand jury charges Synergy Marine Group on 18 counts for the MV Dali Key Bridge allision, including six counts of misconduct resulting in death and environmental violations.
AFRL’s $18M contract will test large-capacity energy storage for Air Force missions. The goal is stronger power resilience in tough conditions.
Building energy models were calibrated against climate conditions that no longer exist. Facilities leaders need to understand what that means for efficiency projections and equipment design.
Crab shell waste may help control how bioplastics degrade in seawater. The approach could improve durability while supporting circular material use.
Heat-tolerant enzymes are moving closer to industrial use. New structural insights show how proteins can stay stable and active in extreme conditions.
