New web feature showcases
sustainable infrastructure
projects
From award-winning projects like
the Orange County, CA Groundwater
Replenishment System to smaller-
scale projects like the Marysville,
WA park-and-ride lot, civil engineers
are applying principles of sustain-
ability to deliver “triple bottom line”
benefits to the public. ASCE’s Web
site features a new library of project
profiles that demonstrate how sus-
tainable infrastructure contributes
economic, environmental and social
benefits. Featured profiles span all
sectors and include projects ranging
from under $1 million to more than
$1 billion. The expanding library will
help civil engineers research solutions,
share data and information with clients
and find sources for further research.
The site also allows users to rate and
comment on profiles, and encourages
submission of additional profiles via
an easy-to-use online form.
