Building a safer future by managing #DamSafety across South Carolina: https://lnkd.in/eKEg-QXP 👷 In 2016, CDM Smith partnered with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control following an unprecedented environmental disaster. Thirty-four dams were breached, and the state’s Dam Safety group encountered challenges due to outdated systems, budget limitations, and a shortage of in-house expertise. Over the course of our partnership, we: ✅ Inspected 2,000 dams across the state and conducted downstream structure checks ✅ Performed and checked inundation maps for over 2,200 dams ✅ Finished inspections 3 months ahead of schedule with strategic leadership and innovative technology applications Read more about our project here: https://lnkd.in/eiJRuD9n

Shaping the future of transportation in Missouri with #SkyWaveatCDMSmith ✈️ https://lnkd.in/eyVYkrTM 🚗 Missouri's I-70 is a vital transportation corridor, carrying more rural daily traffic than any other route in the state. Many parts of I-70 have become outdated and overburdened. But tackling this issue required complex data analysis and dealing with numerous environmental assessments. "Like many DOTs across the country, MoDOT is dedicating time and resources to make infrastructure improvements, as design standards have changed over the years," says Davonna Moore, our discipline leader for DE&I/freight planning and equity integration. ☁️The Missouri Department of Transportation enlisted our technology, which combines remote sensing tools like drones, high-resolution satellites, and LiDAR with machine learning to streamline environmental data collection. We created a comprehensive digital map of wetlands, streams, floodplains, across two project sections which allowed more efficient access to the site's natural resources. The project team was able to safely map difficult-to-reach areas and identify boundaries, improving the overall quality and comprehensiveness of the project’s mapping efforts.

Breaking down the #LCRI: FAQs answered by our experts: https://bit.ly/3uUy9ts 🚣 Navigating the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Sandy Kutzing, PE, PMP shares her advice: 1. Act now to take advantage of #funding. 💲 "We encourage our clients to not wait until 2027 to embark on the replacement process and anything they can do to reduce unknowns. If you begin the replacement process in 2027 when it becomes mandatory, you’ll only have a couple of years to utilize available funding." 2. Take the steps you can with the information you have. 🔎 "Even if you don't have 100% of the information, you can conduct tests, perform inspections, and simultaneously use #machinelearning alongside your replacement plan. If you’re aware of service lines that need replacement, take advantage of the resources available now. This applies especially to communities and systems with disadvantaged populations." 💧 Get more insights like this for clarity on compliance prep: https://bit.ly/3uUy9ts
