Join the Eastern Chapter on Wednesday, December 10th from 12 - 1 PM at HDR for our December meeting presented by Chad Hall! This event will include lunch. Cost is $20/person. See additional presentation details below and register today!
HDR Engineering Inc. (HDR) in partnership with Clarkson Construction Company is assisting KDOT on its first progressive design-build project. KDOT is committed to delivering the transportation infrastructure improvements necessary to support the Panasonic manufacturing facility. This roadway expansion required an extremely short schedule, with just 6 months for procurement, 6 months for design, and approximately 18 months for construction. Because of the schedule drivers, multiple utility relocations, and numerous third-party interactions, a collaborative delivery approach was used.
Cheers to 2026! Please join us in kicking off the new year with the KSPE Eastern Chapter!
This is the perfect opportunity to network, meet current members and learn how to get involved with KSPE.
Drinks and apps included with registration.
