GALVESTON, Texas (June 5, 2014) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District celebrated the Corps’ and U.S. Army’s 239th birthday with an awards ceremony to recognize the Employee, Engineer, Regulator and Supervisor of the Year, as well as to honor staff for their contributions to the community, state and nation.
When your area of operation covers roughly 226,000 square miles... expect to spend a lot time on the road.
Taking to the highway Jan. 25, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Kirk Gibbs visited two of the more remote projects in the District inventory.
"Alamo and Painted Rock Dams are very important to the watershed and Arizona's overall flood risk management," said Gibbs. "The professionalism of our dam tenders at each of those locations and their ability to build great relationships with State Parks, as well as other agencies throughout the state, prepares us to work together in the event of extreme rain events to protect people, structures and agriculture."
Public safety is the Corps' number one priority. Flood risk management structures reduce risk, but they don’t eliminate it.
"Our dams and the surrounding land is very well maintained, added Gibbs. "The District is proud of our professionals who work hard and are dedicated to our critical mission in these remote locations. I am honored to serve alongside them."
Because of the isolation, the Corps provides two houses on each project site.
Painted Rock was completed in 1959, Alamo a decade later. In total, the Corps owns and operates nearly 700 dams nationwide.
During a momentary stop in Angola IL, through contacts, a Fort Wayne Steam Crew member allowed us in the cab, and gave us some coal.
The engineer was so wrecked by his first tube of Smarties that we had to skip the trick or treating.

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.
ASMS Seniors James Lott and Bryan Nguyen presented their Research Fellows Project in Huntsville at the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers Southeast Conference! There, they ran into ASMS Alum and ASMS Board Member Dr. Greg Bacon (Class of 1995), a fellow engineer and scholar, who chaired their session.
This now makes them PUBLISHED authors as high schoolers!! Their paper is titled: An Engineered System Concept for Early Detection of Dry-Type Transformer Failures.
This shot was taken from my office at 36th floor. Tower crane has always fascinated me.
Dear engineers out there, how do they get this tower crane down upon completion of the building?
