ASCE Austin is excited to host John Rigdon, Chief Planning and Design Officer for the Waterloo Greenway Project. He will be presenting on the Waterloo Greenway Project.
John Rigdon leads the Waterloo Greenway capital project, weaving together the efforts of project managers, the City of Austin, and the design team. John has led planning, design, and construction at Waterloo Greenway since 2013. With roots in sustainable city planning and community engagement, he has provided solutions to a vast array of project management, design, and programming challenges across his career. John earned an M.S. in community and regional planning from The University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Thank you to this month's sponsor, Brierley Associates.
Brierley Associates is a nationwide tunnel, trenchless, geotechnical, and geo-structural design firm that specializes exclusively in the planning, design, and construction of subsurface projects. “Creating Space Underground” is our mission and our passion. Founded in 1999, we have grown to more than 80 geotechnical and geo-structural engineers, and engineering geologists specializing in underground construction, tunneling, horizontal directional drilling and other trenchless methods.
Working across North America in various ground conditions gives us the ability to effectively interpret geotechnical characteristics, understand the strengths and limitations of construction technologies, and design methods that enable owners and contractors to successfully mitigate the risks inherent in underground construction. Geological conditions affect the design and stability of underground space. Proper geological and geotechnical assessment is critical to anticipating ground behavior during excavation, how the ground will manifest that behavior, and how to efficiently and effectively control ground behaviors that might be adverse to the intended use of the space. Those tenets are the foundation of Brierley Associates’ tunnel, trenchless and geo-structural design and consulting services.
