Schnabel Engineering

Schnabel attended SAME's JETC this week in Portland, OR, to discuss teaming partnerships in the federal space. Did you know we officially earned Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification? 🏆 ✔️ CMMC is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program that ensures defense contractors meet existing information security requirements to help protect sensitive unclassified information. ✔️ Compliance with CMMC is now mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors supporting DoD contracts that will store or process FCI or CUI.

Meet Chip and Dale 🐿️🐿️ These two chipmunks have become regular visitors at one of our dam project sites, keeping the crew entertained with their nonstop energy. Nicknamed “Chip” and “Dale,” they were recently spotted chasing each other over and under a pile of 2x4s like it was their own personal obstacle course. #FaunaFridays #Chipmunks #ChipAndDale

Our team is excited to network with other professionals in transportation, development, and infrastructure at the American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida) Transportation Conference May 28-29 in Orlando, FL.

Let’s go back to the late 1970s on this #ThrowbackThursday as we celebrate #SchnabelAt70! Schnabel added many institutional and government projects to our portfolio in the late ’70s, including work at these iconic Washington, D.C., landmarks: the Smithsonian, the Walter Reed General Hospital campus, the Pentagon Reservation, and the FDR Memorial in West Potomac Park. Five years later, our portfolio expanded again, as we provided geotechnical engineering services for construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. During the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, thousands of people from across the country will visit our nation’s capital to pay tribute to military veterans and visit this memorial and others. We’re deeply grateful to have supported this poignant tribute to honor those who fought and died in the Vietnam War.

Several members of the Schnabel team attended Virginia’s Dam Safety Awareness Day event at Lake Louisa Dam on May 11, hosted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (VA DCR). Part of a national effort to encourage individual and community responsibility for safeguarding dams, the event highlighted the importance of maintaining resilient infrastructure and recognized the recently completed spillway rehabilitation project at Lake Louisa Dam. The site was selected because the project serves as an example of successful collaboration between state officials and dam owners. Schnabel Engineering was selected to manage the project from design through construction, supporting the replacement of the aging spillway to improve long-term safety for the Blue Ridge Shores community and downstream areas. Attendees heard remarks from state officials, including Deputy Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources Adrienne Kotula and DCR Chief Engineer Andrea Henry, and the project owner, the Blue Ridge Property Owners Association, followed by a tour of the dam and completed project site. We’re proud to support projects that help strengthen infrastructure resilience and protect communities across Virginia and beyond. Read more about the event here: https://lnkd.in/eX-MEnPc

We’re heading to Energize NC May 27 in Chapel Hill, NC, to connect with engineering leaders, energy experts, and industry partners for a focused day on the forces shaping North Carolina’s energy future. Be sure to catch up with Johnny Lowe and Jared Crenshaw – they’re eager to discuss today’s evolving energy landscape! ACEC/NC #ACECNC #EnergizeNC #energy Photo credit: © 2023 Live Media Group

We’re proud of the work our teams do in the field — and just as proud of the work they do in the classroom. Recently, Emily Seamster, Senior Staff Scientist in our Richmond office, visited a fifth‑grade class in the Hanover Public School District in Hanover County, VA, to bring geology and Earth science to life. From rock and soil types to aquifers, PPE, and environmental sampling, Emily gave students a hands‑on look at the science behind the world beneath their feet. “If I can leave with even one student excited about becoming a geologist, environmental scientist, or engineer, that’s a win for me,” Emily shared. “We need this next generation of professionals to have passion and purpose for their work, and I believe that seed gets planted early in life.” Talent Acquisition Partner Emily Bicking, whose son is in the class, joined the visit and provided shaded eye protection and Schnabel tote bags for each student. The class was fully engaged – asking thoughtful questions, examining soil samples, and even wondering how our work might support future life on Mars. Highlighting STEM roles in the classroom is one of the most meaningful ways we can invest in future scientists while living our values.

Back for another season! 🪿 These two geese and their brood have become familiar faces around our Chadds Ford office, returning year after year to nest and raise their goslings nearby. It’s always a welcome sign of spring when we spot them waddling around campus with their newest additions in tow. #FaunaFriday #Spring #Springtime
