Creating A Sustainable Environment For America’s Infrastructure

The sustainability movement is making its way to America’s bridges, roads and waterways.

The American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies and the American Public Works Association recently joined together to create the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) to develop a new infrastructure-rating system to assess the sustainability of civil-engineering projects. In July, the ISI launched a public-comment period for interested parties to review their new rating system, EnvISIon.
