A joint venture of Fluor Heavy Civil and Irving, Texas-based Austin Bridge & Road has been given permission to proceed on an expansion and reconstruction of about 6.3 miles of Interstate 35 East in Dallas under a $641.7 million design-build contract awarded by the Texas Department of Transportation. The Lone Star Constructors venture will expand the roadway to eight lanes, rebuild two existing reversible lanes and rebuild continuous frontage roads, as well as improve intersections.

U.S. companies should prepare for a renewed push for range of new or higher corporate taxes from President Biden’s administration based on the $5.8 trillion fiscal year 2023 budget proposed this week, tax experts say.

If passed it would raise numerous business taxes and yield more complicated tax compliance, especially for businesses that operate globally. 

In this webinar, you will learn about those techniques behind practical analytics and how to unlock data insights already hiding within your construction management system. These insights often deliver immediate value, including catching cost overruns early and automating timesheet approvals. We will discuss the data pyramid and work through data engineering, management and reporting—stopping just short of data science. We will also examine a business problem positioned by a customer and how we used the practical analytics approach to provide a solution.

This course will teach you how to deal with the media — and 11 other audiences — during a crisis. The media, in particular, play an important role during any crisis, and we teach session attendees exactly what the media need and how the media can help you get information to the public quickly. Attendees will learn how to respond to questions briefly and directly, with honesty and candor, and learn how to control the flow of information. This is needed preparation for any crisis, when time is critical and working with the media is a priority.
