Century-Kleinfelder’s Hunt Valley, Maryland office is helping to give the gift of warmth this holiday season with its festive Mitten Tree. Staff participated by hanging mittens and gloves on the office’s tree, which were donated to The Salvation Army USA for distribution in the community. More than 30 pairs of mittens and gloves were placed on the tree for donation.

Karen Darley, Senior Designer in the Hunt Valley office, organized the inaugural Mitten Tree effort, and hopes for it to become a yearly tradition. She commented, “It has been wonderful to watch our tree fill with mittens and gloves throughout December. Our donations will keep many hands warm this holiday season and into the new year. I am hopeful the Mitten Tree will become an annual tradition for our Hunt Valley team.”

Century-Kleinfelder was honored with two awards at this year’s ACEC Metropolitan Washington Engineering Excellence Awards! The project “West Half – Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Design” earned an Honor Award in this year’s competition, placing it in the top 16 projects submitted. The project “MD 355 at West Old Baltimore Road Intersection Improvements” was also awarded a Merit Award at the ceremony. Congratulations to all staff and project partners involved in these great projects!

On being awarded the Honor Award for West Half, Matthew Steiner, PE, LEED AP®, Project Manager, commented, “Century is honored to have contributed to this award-winning LEED Gold® certified project.

Mother Mary Lange Catholic School was honored this week with two awards from the Maryland Chapter of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC Maryland)! MMLCS won both the Green Schools Award and the People’s Choice Award. Winners were announced and honored at an evening celebration event on September 27 at the LEED Gold® Clifton Mansion in Baltimore.

Now in its second year welcoming students, the Catholic school marked the first to be built in Baltimore by the Archdiocese of Baltimore in more than 60 years. The 2.7-acre site holds a 65,000-square-foot school building, artificial turf field, play areas, parking areas, and a bus loading area. The previously undeveloped site also now features smart stormwater management using the SmartSWM system. The stormwater facility is located underground on-site. Century-Kleinfelder also used pervious pavers for sidewalks to aid in stormwater management. Additional engineering and design services were provided to BGE to power the school.

Congratulations to our project partners Archdiocese of Baltimore, JMT Architecture, Lorax Partnerships LLC, and Whiting-Turner Contracting HQ. Awesome job!

Join us on Friday, September 23, in Baltimore for the Beyond the Jones Falls Conference! This event hosted by Friends of the Jones Falls and EWRI Maryland Chesapeake Bay Chapter will bring together fellow environmental professionals and practitioners, community activists and greening volunteers to learn about the science and strategies driving policy and practices of sustainability in our waterway ecosystems. Attendees will learn from 15 expert speakers about the health of local waterways, the future of storm water management and green infrastructure, and how flood control policy is evolving with climate change.

Century-Kleinfelder is proud to support this event as an exhibitor. Stop by and say hello to Bob Bathurst, PE, MSIA, D.WRE, LEED AP®!

Did you know? Long before the Jones Falls/Inner Harbor Trash Interceptor was named “Mr. Trash Wheel,” we knew it as a project number in our database. That’s right! – Century provided structural engineering and geotechnical engineering in support of Mr. Trash Wheel to design the mooring piles, which allow the collector to rise, fall, and flex with fluctuations in water level and flow rates.

The final deck has been poured, and it looks like a very “nice” bridge! The Harry W. Nice/Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge between Newberg, Maryland, and Dahlgren, Virginia, is a major connection between Maryland and Virginia, handling more than 17,000 vehicles daily. The existing two-lane bridge over the Potomac River is being replaced by a new four-lane bridge built just north of the existing structure. With the final deck poured on the new structure, it is set for completion in early 2023. Century-Kleinfelder provided independent design quality management (IDQM) review services for all landside improvements, geotechnical, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS)/structure improvements. These reviews serve an important purpose in making sure that all design elements are compliant with both the contract documents and the design quality control plan (DQCP) for the project.

Congratulations to all teams involved in this project to bring new, wider, and safer transportation to Marylanders and Virginians!
