I had a great trip to New York City to meet with our incredible TYLin Buildings Sector team, including Nat Oppenheimer, Victoria Ponce de Leon, P.E., and Pat Arnett. The trip underscored the power of revitalization and adaptive reuse in transforming communities. Pat Arnett led a tour of historic renovation projects in Brooklyn, including the Domino Sugar refinery complex and Empire Stores. These projects showcase how thoughtful design can breathe new life into existing structures, preserving their history while creating vibrant spaces for the community. Victoria then guided us through the Whitney Museum of American Art and the High Line, a former railroad spur transformed into an elevated park, greenway, and trail. The High Line demonstrates how adaptive reuse can create unique public spaces that connect neighborhoods and enhance quality of life. Robert Silman Associates, prior to forming TYLin’s Building Sector, was involved in the design of both projects Whether we are renovating existing structures or designing new construction, our goal is always to connect and enhance our communities. That’s what our NY Buildings team strives to do every day, and I am extremely proud of the world-class historic projects and new design work they are delivering. #TYLinConnects #TYLinBuildings

In a journey full of twists, like the meandering Muregeya River, a new path emerged, presenting unexpected challenges and significant impact. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dF7SBb8U When landslides jeopardized our original project, our Bridges to Prosperity team from TYLin, Introba, and Dar quickly pivoted, applying the expertise gained from B2P’s innovative hybrid suspension bridge project last year. With renewed focus, we embarked on building a 377-foot bridge over the treacherous Muregeya River. This crucial bridge will serve over 2,500 residents, providing safe passage and connecting them to markets, communities, and schools. Through these efforts, we hope to transform lives, weaving hope and opportunity into the fabric of the Rubengera community.

Innovation is the lifeblood of our organization. We established the Elevation Awards to honor and celebrate our people's courageous curiosity. From whole-life carbon forecasting to transforming travel, this year's award winners created meaningful impacts across water, transportation, sustainability, digital technology, and project delivery. Through collaborations with our Sidara Collaborative partners Introba and Landrum & Brown, we are transforming the way we design, build, and connect the world. These awards are a testament to the power of teamwork, bold ideas, and the unwavering dedication to excellence that defines our organization. Join us in celebrating our people, explore our Elevation Award winners, and see the impact a forward-thinking partner can make on your projects! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g68x9HDt #SidaraCollaborative #ElevationAwards

Today marks Intern Appreciation Day, a moment to recognize and celebrate the leaders of tomorrow.   At TYLin, we regard internships as invaluable opportunities to inspire, nurture, and hone the skills of future engineers.   Since May, our 2024 summer internship program has flourished with the participation of over 100+ interns across the world. They've been deeply involved in projects related to water infrastructure, innovative transportation solutions, and sustainable building design. United by a shared passion for a greener future, their energy and commitment are driving forces that could redefine these industries for years to come.   We aim to immerse each intern in our work, fostering a deep understanding of our collaborative approach and the positive change we create in the communities we serve.   The stories of Amanda Newton, EIT, Sydney McIvor, EIT, and Manuel Martinez, EIT, who all started as interns, are a testament to the transformative power of mentorship and real-world experience at TYLin.   To read their stories ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gUmdCVBW   #TYLinConnects #TYLinterns #InternDay #NationalInternDay

We are excited to share that McMillan Sand Filtration Site, now known as Reservoir Park, has opened in Washington, D.C.! The 20-acre urban parcel was the site of Washington DC’s first large water filtration facility dating back to 1905. The project included #preservation of all above grade industrial structures and the adaptive reuse of some of the original below grade unreinforced concrete vaults used to filter the water through a slow sand filtration process. TYLin | Silman Structural Solutions was involved from the early investigation and public engagement phases through the development of the design before handing off to a Design Build Team. TYLin | Silman Structural Solutions performed an investigation of the unreinforced concrete vaulted structures, including field condition surveys and analysis to identify the origin of the existing damage and evaluate structural feasibility for future reuse of these unique industrial structures. TYLin continues to service the project with the design and construction of the traffic ramps and pedestrian walkways at the East and West sides of the North Corridor, alongside Bowman Consulting and CGLA. Thanks to all involved!

We wish you a Happy Independence Day!

In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day's theme, "Enhanced by Engineering," we're honored to share the story of five exceptional female engineers from TYLin, Introba, and Dar who embarked on a mission to bring hope and opportunity to a community in Rwanda. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gueTXuWt   Myriam ZOGHBY, Alekhya Dontham, Mary Anne Schmitt Speidel, P.E., Dahria Uwamahoro , E.I., M.Eng, and Nikolette Mazzuola, EIT from our Bridges to Prosperity project brought diverse strengths – from meticulous planning to a unique spirit of collaboration. In Rwanda, they challenged stereotypes, showcasing how women excel in every aspect of engineering.    They inspire us to fight for gender equality in #STEM. Their message is clear: believe in yourself, your voice matters, and together, we can build a brighter future!    Read more about their inspiring journey in Rwanda and how you can join the movement at the link above!   #TYLinConnects Sidara #SidaraCollaborative #IWED2024 #EnhancedByEngineering #B2P #BridgestoProsperity

🌎 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re proud to be #GenerationRestoration! The UN calls for action on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. As engineers, we have a critical responsibility to design and build infrastructure that protects and restores our environment. ️ The UN's theme this year, "We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils," resonates deeply with our mission. From developing drought-resistant irrigation systems to creating green spaces in urban environments, we're committed to building a future where infrastructure supports a thriving planet.
