Why Proven Erosion Control Solutions Matter More Than Ever
Successful vegetation establishment starts long before the physical work begins. The right preparation—including soil testing, smarter planning tools and choosing thoroughly tested erosion control solutions—can help teams avoid failed growth, costly rework and return trips no one budgets for.
That’s why contractors and specifiers are choosing solutions that are backed by third-party testing, expert guidance and proven performance in challenging conditions. With partners like Profile, better preparation up front helps protect timelines, budgets and long-term project success.
See what makes this industry-leader different and how smarter solutions help crews get it right the first time.
The Intelligent Landscape: How AI Is Broadening the Reach of Geospatial Intelligence
By Dan Gruidel Geospatial data has never been more abundant or more essential. From climate resilience and emergency response to infrastructure planning and utility management, organizations depend on geospatial intelligence to make informed decisions. Yet, most geospatial work has been the domain of specialists: remote‑sensing analysts, photogrammetrists, lidar technicians and cartographers. These roles required years of training and deep technical mastery. The tools were powerful, but the barr...
Regulations, Treatment Options and Potential Carbon Shortages: Everything You Need to Know About PFAS in Drinking Water
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been the headline-grabbing “contaminant of the moment” across the water sector, driving a remarkable wave of regulation, litigation and treatment innovation. Their persistence, mobility and resistance to degradation have led to widespread presence in soil, water and even human bloodstreams, where they are correlated with the increased risk of some cancers, suppressed immunity, developmental delays in children, decreased fertility and high blood pre...
Future Forward Powered by ACEC: The Grid Can’t Wait for Washington to Figure This Out
Powered By: There’s a version of the AI story that gets told almost exclusively in the language of software, through terms such as models, agents, tokens and parameters. It’s a compelling narrative, but it’s also incomplete. Behind every large language model or newly built data-center campus, there’s an infrastructure question that’s considerably harder to answer than the technology question: Where does the power come from? How does it get there? Who pays for what it takes to deliver it? These a...
Water Works: Go Big! A Case for Regional Stormwater Facilities to Address Existing Development
After what seemed like an eternity, the street redevelopment in front of my beloved downtown coffee shop is finally complete. It’s almost eerily quiet now that the fleet of excavators, dump trucks and compactors has moved on—most people would’ve simply gone elsewhere for their morning caffeine hit while the chaos was in full swing. As a true stormwater nerd, however, I dutifully braved the noise and dust to observe the refurbishment of the storm sewer, including the addition of small-media filte...
