Please join CSCE at our monthly meeting at CT State Community College Three Rivers, Norwich, CT, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. At this meeting, Jim Cole, P.E., MBA, PMP, Vice President of Projects at Avangrid, will give a presentation on the importance of civil and structural engineers in every aspect of the design and construction of high power electrical systems. From the grading & site preparation, subsurface trenching, and foundation work to the above ground buildings, transformers, steel structures, towers and lines, it all relies on civil and structural engineering. Structural and civil engineers play important roles in the planning, design and construction phases of Avangrid's major projects and some of its most recent and large scale projects completed in Maine, Connecticut and New York will be highlighted. One (1) New York State PDH will be offered at this meeting. This meeting is co-sponsored by the CT Chapter of the ASCE Structural Engineering Institute and CT State Community College Three Rivers in Norwich, CT, and will feature a buffet dinner followed by the evening's presentation.
