Landscaped trenches that keep rain from overpowering rivers. Underwater beds of eelgrass to reduce erosion. Waterside sitting areas that would give a front-row seat to the rise in sea levels. These are some of the inventive ways New York City and nearby coastlines might be better protected against severe storms like Sandy as a result of the six winning proposals of the federal government's Rebuild by Design competition. While each proposal tackles a different shoreline region, environmental sensitivity plays a big role in each.

After all, the firm, which has been in business for nearly a half-century, had played a key role in building many landmark structures in and around its Philadelphia home, including stadiums, bridges and skyscrapers. But Pennoni decided not to stand pat.As many firms pulled back because of weakened markets, Pennoni went on the offensive, growing internally and through acquisitions. As a result, Pennoni revenue rose steadily, to $128 million last year—$107 million of which was

Superstorm Sandy's effect on many of the beaches of the East Coast was like a knife on burnt toast—scraping and scraping away, until, in some places, not much was left but rocks. But in a widespread and intensive effort that began last summer, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractors began replenishing beaches and undoing years of erosion, work that is expected to continue through most of this year. The aim is to restore beaches to their original construction state. Related Links: Engineering News Record Architectural Record "People who go to the beach will notice a big difference

What does it take to do a massive spire-to-sidewalk, inside-to-outside restoration of one of Manhattan's best-known landmark churches? The crew assigned to the three-year, $177-million upgrade of St. Patrick's Cathedral has found it comes down to preparation, coordination and an enormous amount of scaffolding.

大学校园应该是一个年代的地方tudents can lose themselves in thought, ensconced in an academic bubble as they stroll to and from class. But at New Jersey's Montclair State University, those reveries were threatened with disruption starting last summer by a $92-million project to upgrade an aging power and thermal plant that involved digging a large and deep trench through the heart of the campus.
