How is California preparing 21 hatcheries for the impacts of climate change? Find out at the 73rd Annual Northwest Fish Culture Concepts where Derek Nelson, PE, will join California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Daniel Niederberger, PE, to present "Climate Change and California Hatcheries – The Results and What We Are Doing About It." On December 10th at 3:50 P.M., Derek and Daniel will share details of this crucial statewide project involving evaluation of climate impacts and hatchery operations, while helping to ensure the sustainability of these facilities and fish species in a changing climate. #BecauseItMatters Don’t miss it! #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction

Here we grow! 🏢🏢🏢 Spokane, Washington is the newest addition to our growing list of office locations. This location marks our second office in Washington, bringing additional access to local experts with design and construction solutions tailored to meet your needs. #BecauseItMatters And while we’re on the subject… be on the lookout for two additional McMillen offices opening in early 2025! Any guesses as to where they might be?? Here’s a hint: Both cities sit along the Pacific coast, but if you’re heading from one to the other, you’ll need to swap your sunglasses for ski goggles. 🌴🍁 #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction

Fish 🤝 McMillen 🤝 Farmers McMillen has wrapped up on the Jocko K Canal Headworks project which includes a river diversion for irrigation purposes, a Denil Fishway, flow control gates, and PIT antennas!

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the opportunity to build strong foundations—both in our projects and with our loved ones. #BecauseItMatters We are wishing everyone a joyful holiday filled with love and gratitude! 🍂🦃 We will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, and Friday, November 29th. We will resume regular business hours on Monday, December, 2nd! #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction

Meet Anthony DeSantis, a McMillen mechanical engineer and Co-Lead of the Northwest Hydroelectric Association New Professionals Chapter! His leadership supports the next generation of hydropower leaders, and we couldn’t be prouder of his contribution. To promote continued learning and exposure to the many facets of hydropower, Anthony invited McMillen’s fish passage extraordinaire, Vincent Autier, to take a deep dive into the world of a fish passage engineer at this month’s chapter meeting. Anthony and Vincent’s commitment to industry development reflect our dedication to investing in both knowledge and the continued growth of hydropower. #BecauseItMatters We look forward to the positive impact of Anthony and the NWHA New Professionals Chapter on the future of hydropower! #StaffStandout #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction

Great visit today to the #FishMigrationRiver with the USA / Canadian company McMillen. Thanks Marissa Emmons and Vincent Autier for the interesting conversation and pleasant personal contact… And thanks Provincie Fryslân and Freek Steenbergen @jeroen koelemans for hosting it!

🎃👻 Spooky season has been a frightfully fun affair here at McMillen! From pumpkin carving masterpieces to our haunted hallways competition, our team went all out to celebrate the season. Even our family trick-or-treating brought in plenty of tiny ghouls and goblins into the office for a well-deserved sugar rush. 🍬🦇 At McMillen, we believe that fostering an environment where creativity and community thrive is what truly sets us apart. Happy Halloween from all of us to you! #BOOcauseItMatters #BecauseItMatters #CompanyCulture #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction

#RingTheBell for river and habitat restoration! In March of 2024, the President’s Budget request for Fiscal Year 2025 included $500 million for constructing a downstream fish passage facility at Howard A. Hanson Dam (HAHD) on the Green River. We are excited to announce that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, has retained the McMillen Team to lead the structural and mechanical design of the HAHD Fish Passage Facility—an incredible opportunity to provide biological connections to 100+ miles of prime salmon spawning habitat on the Green River! #BecauseItMatters 🏞️🐟 To complete this project, we are tackling exciting engineering challenges that will have a lasting impact on the ecosystem. Unique design elements include: ⚙️ Intake Structure – uniquely configured to act as a cofferdam during construction while providing a safe transition to the multiport collector horns 🐟 Multiport Collector – featuring five intake horns strategically crafted to capture fish at various water levels 🏔️ Steep Slope Bypass – to provide a safe and efficient route for fish downstream 🗼Control Tower – a 70-foot-tall, 5-story battlement to maintain seamless operations even during high water events The impact of this project extends far beyond salmon recovery; it plays a vital role in enhancing flood protection and ensuring clean drinking water for surrounding communities. By improving fish passage and supporting healthy ecosystems, we’re contributing to a sustainable future for both wildlife and local residents. #WaterResources #Environmental #Engineering #Construction #FishPassage #SalmonRecovery
