Broward County’s 5-foot sea wall mandate is a joke when we are facing 7-foot storms. 🌊 The ocean is thermally expanding, and the old math is going to get us drowned. The Sera Standard is coming. "

A day in the life of a civil engineer: 1300D St. survey edition. 📐 Never let anyone pressure you into an upfront quote before you run the numbers.

Welcome to hurricane season. 🌀 If you are wondering why urban flooding is getting so much worse, it is because our base ocean elevation is physically higher than it was in the 1950s.

That extra foot of water completely changes how high tides hit our coastlines. Instead of draining away, the ocean is swallowing our pipes and flowing backwards right into our neighborhoods. It is time to upgrade our infrastructure.

Do I look like the NSA? 😂 Surveying out in the field with the Total Station today!
​People think civil engineering is just sitting behind a desk, but if our math in the field is off by a fraction of an inch, entire multi-million dollar real estate developments flood. Millions of investor and tax dollars depend on this exact equipment.
​You can’t solve macro-level climate problems without getting your hands dirty in the dirt first. We are out here protecting infrastructure and building the tech of the future. 🏗️💧

The glamorous reality of being a Deep Tech Civil Engineering CEO? Sweating your life away in the Florida sun because you undercharged for a project. 🥵☀️ We are out here at 1300D St. running the GNSS because good data in the field saves millions in expensive mistakes later. Precision work. Extreme conditions. Let's engineer something. 🏗️📐

Thinking of buying a house on a cul-de-sac in South Florida? Watch this first. 🛑📐

The county says your house only needs to be 1.5ft above the street. But if you're near a canal, that water has to drain away from the canal. That means on a random Tuesday rainstorm, you could be trapped in your house with water sitting in your garage ruining your sports car. 😭🌊

Demand the elevation survey. The Sera Standard is 2 feet. Protect your investment!

We all love a clean driveway, but let's talk about the "Toxic Soup" it leaves behind... 🍲☣️💧

​It’s not just car oil washing off our pavement. The harsh cleaners we use run straight into our stormwater system. But here is the scary engineering truth: our current infrastructure isn't designed to filter it out. Its only job is to move that toxic soup into our oceans and our drinking water aquifers as fast as possible.
​I'm not saying we stop washing our cars or cleaning our properties! I'm saying we need to engineer a better foundation that actually handles the way we live. 🏗️🌊

Did you know "lazy" engineering is literally causing Blue Baby Syndrome? 🛑👶🏾💧
​Every time it rains, toxic street runoff is dumped into basic retention ponds, and local developers just hope the dirt magically filters out the harsh chemicals and engine oil.
​Spoiler alert: It doesn't. ☕️
​This is exactly why we are seeing massive, toxic algae blooms suffocating our coastlines and causing dangerous nutrient imbalances in our well water.
​But we don't just watch the chaos happen—we engineer the solution. It is time to stop relying on lazy ponds and start using sub-grade infrastructure like Nutrient-Separating Baffle Boxes and deep-rooted Bioswales to filter out the toxins before they hit our aquifers.

Instagram vs Reality: Civil Engineering Edition 👷🏾‍♀️✨ Everyone wants the aesthetic, but nobody wants to stand in a parking lot for 2 hours shooting points with a total station. 😂 The glam is fun, but the real work happens in the field! Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ if you know the struggle!
