Many design agreements contain provisions intended to limit the circumstances in which compensation can be withheld. Do those provisions prevent the design-builder from asserting its own delay damages? A recent federal district court decision offers guidance: go.asce.org/4yKB9nj.

122 years ago, New York City's first subway ride departed from a station unlike any other. Known as the "jewel in the crown," City Hall station was designed as the showpiece of the subway system, featuring elegant brass chandeliers, leaded skylights, and vaulted ceilings adorned with colorful tilework. Built on a tight curve that made extending the platform difficult, the station closed in 1945 as growing ridership demanded longer trains and nearby stations attracted more passengers. When New York City's first subway ride departed City Hall station #OnThisDay in 1904, the system consisted of a single 9-mile line with 28 stations. Today, it features 800 miles of track and 472 stations. Learn more about the first major rapid transit subway system in the United States: go.asce.org/4zTDEE. #VisitASCELandmarks

Public transit is emerging as a new frontier for artificial intelligence, according to a recent report from @APTA_info. A survey of 32 transit agencies found they are exploring AI applications ranging from maintenance operations to ticketing and customer service. Learn more: go.asce.org/4ztC2lv.

Forest fires have devastated municipalities from California to Colorado, often severely impacting local drinking water systems. Tune in Thursday, Oct. 29, at 2 p.m. ET for a free webinar by @PVCPipeAssoc to learn how wildfires impact water infrastructure from two world-renowned experts. Register now: go.asce.org/3WGWoZD.

Designing truly inclusive infrastructure starts by listening to the people who will use it. As engineers, architects, and designers develop an accessible playground at Kansas City’s Roy Blunt Luminary Park, they’re drawing on lived experience to help shape a novel public space featuring adaptive play elements, interconnected ramps, and accessible surfaces. Get a sneak peek at the project on the #ASCESource: go.asce.org/4BtK4fx.

ASCE introduces the Society’s 2027 president, Carol Haddock: go.asce.org/4iqn3lU.

The world’s largest Suspended Ion Exchange system is coming to Tampa, Florida. The first of its kind to be installed in the U.S., the innovative system will treat up to 140 million gallons of drinking water per day and offers greater precision in removing organic matter. Read more on the #ASCESource: go.asce.org/4yT5NeZ.

Together. That’s how Carol Haddock plans to move forward during her tenure as ASCE’s 2027 president, which officially began today at the Society’s annual business meeting. Join us in congratulating #ASCE’s new president, and read the full list of newly appointed officers: go.asce.org/4iqn3lU.

Congratulations to ASCE’s 2026 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award winner, Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion! As the final piece of Seattle’s waterfront redevelopment vision, the Ocean Pavilion provides Seattle Aquarium visitors with an immersive marine life experience while improving accessibility between Pike Place Market and Puget Sound. The freeform building contains more than 500,000 gallons of water, features a 30-foot-wide viewing window that withstands pressure from more than 1.1 million gallons of water, and is designed to withstand a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. Learn more about what makes this imaginative project the best of the year + join us in congratulating this year’s award recipients: go.asce.org/4dFTWZf.

The #ASCE 2026 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement award goes to Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion! Congratulations to all who contributed to this exceptional project.
