A walking tour through the Westport Stormwater Improvements Project site shows what 3.5 million gallons of stormwater storage can mean for a historic Kansas City district. With construction paused during World Cup preparations, the walking tour offered a timely look at KC Water's first stormwater progressive design-build project. Our team is providing planning, community engagement and progressive design-build services in coordination with KC Water, the City of Kansas City, MO, and the Westport Regional Business League. We anticipate major construction activities will be wrapped up at the end of the year. Learn more about how the project is helping reduce frequent flooding while adding safer crossings, sidewalks and public space. https://hubs.li/Q04hXdYJ0 #Water #Stormwater #Construction

Keeping production moving during construction takes careful planning built on updated and current field data. In active life sciences facilities, digital delivery brings field conditions into focus before crews arrive. With current data in hand, teams can plan around tight shutdown windows and keep complex work moving with confidence. See how digital delivery helps reduce risk during life sciences facility expansions. https://hubs.li/Q04h9BsN0 #Buildings #Manufacturing #LifeSciences
