On May 25th, ASCE Younger Members New Orleans Chapter hosted a member event that featured a leadership panel discussion and a question and answer session.
Several topics of discussion included the following:
The discussion provided insight to the attendees based on the leadership panel’s experiences. Panelists were able to portray a message to the younger members regarding the next generation of engineering. Each panelist provided key takeaways for the upcoming generation and what emerging leaders should keep in mind as they gain experience (e.g., passing on of institutional knowledge) at the end of the session.
Panelists from left to right: Robert Delaune, P.E., Bob Mora, P.E., Kristi Mirambell, P.E., Chris Dunn, P.E., James Hance, P.E.
DE's Cory Martinez was recently recognized for his 10 year anniversary with our firm and was given a company watch for reaching this milestone.
As a Project Manager, Cory's expertise is managing federally funded infrastructure projects along the Gulf Coast. For the past two years, he has been the Project Administrator responsible for managing a $34 million CDBG-funded Housing and Small Rental Rehabilitation Program for St. John the Baptist Parish.
Prior to his current project, he served as Assistant Program Manager for Harrison County (MS) Utility Authority's $240 million CDBG-funded repairs to Hurricane Katrina-damaged water and wastewater utilities and construction of new water and wastewater systems.
Cory has been a valuable asset to our firm and we congratulate him on all of his accomplishments.
DE is the design engineer for the St. Bernard Avenue Improvements (Filmore to Robert E. Lee) project that served as the backdrop for a press conference given late December by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Cedric Grant, Executive Director of S&WB, that highlighted the City’s 2016 integrated infrastructure accomplishments.
The clip below is the press conference. Standing behind the Mayor and City officials are DE's Kurt Evans, Frank Liang, and Norman Bordes.
Our work on the St. Bernard Avenue project included design for major reconstruction of the roadway including installation of new subsurface utilities (water, sewer, and drainage), concrete roadway paving, sidewalks, driveways, and ADA compliant ramps. The newly restored travel lanes also include a 5’ wide dedicated bike lane each direction, pedestrian crosswalk striping, and an on-street parking lane. Modifications were made to the traffic signal system at Robert E. Lee to facilitate the detours required during construction.
DE administered construction administration and resident inspection during construction phase for this project that was completed the end of December 2016.
