Hurricane Katrina’s devastation along the Gulf Coast 20 years ago called on a vast network of skilled professionals to restore storm protections and reduce future risks.   Before they joined Freese and Nichols, six of our water resources engineers were immersed in the intense, exhausting work of helping #Louisiana recover — both in the immediate aftermath and for many years. They gained invaluable experience, and they continue to apply that expertise to help build resilient communities and coasts.   Read about their #Katrina memories and how that experience influences their work today: https://bit.ly/461dQJC

Looking to revitalize its downtown, the City of Stephenville, Texas faced a challenge nearby: Long Street's historic brick pavement was in disrepair and its 100-year-old culvert was deteriorating. By restoring the early 20th-century bricks and enhancing accessibility with new sidewalks, curb ramps and a new, custom-built culvert, the City transformed the aging roadway into a safer, more walkable community hub.

Developing flood resiliency at local and state levels requires strong data, strategic planning and project prioritization, community partnerships, consideration for nature-based solutions and deep technical expertise.   14 of our stormwater experts will present about these and other resiliency topics at the Texas Floodplain Management Association (TFMA) Technical Summit, Aug. 26–29 in San Antonio: https://bit.ly/4fOAlpE

As students across our communities return to their classrooms, our teams in Houston, Pearland, Lafayette and New Orleans have helped nonprofits and community centers make sure families in need have full pantries. Before heading back to their own schools, our Houston summer interns took charge of packing snack bags for the donations, giving back in Freese and Nichols' “Serve Always” style.

For the third consecutive year, our #Tulsa office has supported John Hope Franklin Elementary School, part of Tulsa Public Schools, through a school supply and daily essentials donation drive. From notebooks and backpacks to snacks, these contributions provide tools for learning and support beyond the classroom. #ServeAlways

From avoiding scope creep in lift station rehab to applying the Baldrige Framework for organizational excellence, our experts are sharing strategies that will help utilities strengthen performance, manage costs and extend infrastructure life.   At this year’s Rocky Mountain Water Conference, the annual joint conference of RMWEA and Rocky Mountain Section American Water Works Association (RMSAWWA), we’ll highlight practical approaches in hydraulic modeling, surge analysis and proactive coating rehabilitation — equipping communities with tools to improve reliability and resilience.   Join the conversation in Keystone, CO, August 25–27, and see how we’re helping water systems build smarter, safer and more sustainable solutions.   Read more about our presentations: https://bit.ly/45JT0hK Baldrige Foundation Institute for Performance Excellence | Baldrige Foundation | National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
