IF GREEN BUILDINGS, WHY 

NOT GREENROADS? 

By Sarah Andrews 

Greenroads is a rating system specifically designed 

for infrastructure projects such as streets, highways, 

bridges, rails, trails, and more. Based upon a set of 

sustainability best practices related to transportation 

design and construction, achievement of these credits 

gives a project a measure of sustainability performance 

on a project. Greenroads is the only independent, thirdparty 

tool specifically designed for transport projects. 

Similar to buildings designed to be more resource and 

energy efficient, there are ways to build roadways to 

be sustainable, resilient, and beneficial to the local 

community and ecosystem without causing pollution, 

noise, and ecosystem degradation. 

So, why Greenroads? Road design and construction has 

remained mostly stagnant over the past fifty years while 

other sectors of the construction industry have raced 

ahead. Sustainable infrastructure supports healthy 

economic development, creates new green jobs, results 

in community-centric projects, saves tax dollars, reduces 

environmental impact, and improves safety, mobility, and 

access. Additional benefits include lower initial, lifecycle, 

and user costs over the project’s lifetime. The Cheney 

Stadium Sustainable Stormwater Project in Tacoma, WA, 

realized up to 80% initial cost savings by using porous 

asphalt to improve water quality while the Bagby Street 

Reconstruction project in Houston, TX, designed a 

roadway for extended durability that also treats 33% of 

stormwater runoff through bioswales. 

Within the rating system there are 61 credits, a mix of 

mandatory and voluntary, and each sustainable practice 

is assigned a point value according to its lifecycle impact. 

The mandatory credits, or Project Requirements, must be 

completed and documented for all Greenroads projects. 

These requirements are considered essential for a project 

to be considered “green.” Examples of these mandatory 

practices include energy and carbon footprint analysis, 

low impact development, lifecycle cost analysis, pollution 

prevention, and waste management. 

The voluntary credits are arranged into five Core 

Categories: environment and water, construction 

activities, materials and design, utilities and controls, 

and access and livability. Examples of these strategies 

include the use of recycled and local materials, electric 

vehicle infrastructure, noise reduction, and multimodal 

connectivity. There is a final category for Extra Credits 

in Creativity and Effort to recognize incorporating local 

values and enhanced performance above and beyond the 

required thresholds. Like other rating systems, there is a 

certification manual and online platform for the project 

workspace to encourage and enhance collaboration and 

communication between team members. Project teams 

with Greenroads experience tend to win more future 

Greenroads work and can differentiate themselves from 

other design teams. 

Green building and sustainability have become central to 

the construction industry, and its not just for architects 

anymore. There are many ways to incorporate low impact 

development and other practices into infrastructure 

projects, and engineers will need to lead the way toward 

greener highways and byways. For more information on 

Greenroads, visit greenroads.org for details, ideas, and 

inspiration for your next roadway project.

A flap of excess membrane of the pre-applied 

waterproofing must be left exposed above the shoring 

wall in the transition area and remain viable so it can be 

tied into the podium waterproofing at a later time. That 

requirement was ignored. Instead, the transition strip 

used to connect the two systems was removed. How 

could qualified contractors do this? 

The primary reason is that only a handful of people really 

understand why that flap of random membrane is so 

important. In this case, the concrete contractor did not 

understand that the flap was a critical connector for the 

two different systems. Because the overarching goal 

was to just get the work done, the concrete crew cut the 

membrane off at the top of the shoring wall and wadded 

up the vertical leg into the corner of the form, making it 

completely unusable. 

It is at critical junctions like this — better known as 

terminations, transitions, and penetrations — that 90 

percent of all water intrusion has been documented to 

occur. Considering the different contractors working on a 

project and the various connections between systems, it 

is easy to see why most leaks happen at these junctions. 

SERIOUSLY, YOU COULDN’T 

CALL FIRST? 

By David Leslie, RWC 

In the world of roofing and waterproofing, rarely does a 

day go by when a colleague or client utters the dreaded 

phrase, “So I have this situation …” I feel a pit forming in 

my stomach when I hear those words, because they are 

typically said long after a painless solution to the problem 

is possible. After 30 years in the weather-barrier industry 

as an installer, consultant, and manufacturer, I have been 

involved in countless “situation” conversations and can 

assure you they are no fun. Let me offer an example. 

My team has a project right now that has Underseal preapplied, 

below-grade waterproofing on the foundation 

wall of a parking garage that will be tying into the podium 

deck waterproofing. In this case, the “situation” occurred 

after the concrete contractor had finished placing curbing 

around the podium deck (Fig. 1). 

The purpose of pre-applied waterproofing is to maximize 

efficiency by casting the concrete wall against it, 

eliminating the wasted space of a trench. The membrane 

from the top of the shoring wall down (which was never 

intended to see the light of day) is sandwiched between 

the concrete wall and the surrounding shoring wall. 


What is the fix for a situation like this one? Unfortunately, 

the correction is often demanding and sometimes 

completely unreasonable to perform. We see it every 

day: Major grade beams cast without waterproofing, large 

banks of utility lines running through the waterproofing 

without being detailed. Truly, the only way to properly 

correct those missteps is to jack out the concrete and 

start over. But rarely can a project absorb the additional 

cost or delayed schedule to make such extensive 

corrections. 

In the pictured example, the fill under the podium deck 

must be excavated, exposing the membrane to install 

a transition membrane. Making this correction after 

the fact adds time and expensive that could have been 

avoided. 

Who’s job is it to prevent this type of situation? While it 

is everyone’s responsibility, the general contractor must 

take ownership. The problem is that the modern-day 

construction method of design-bid-build is fragmented. 

All the participants are specialists focusing on a single 

task, unaware of how their work impacts the building as 

a whole. In fact, the contract documents intentionally 

silo the individual disciplines and then isolate the lines of 

communication. The general contractor is obligated to the 

owner to produce a building that meets the contractual 

agreement. Ultimately, coordination between the various 

trades as well as verification that the project outlined in 

contract documents is constructible are the responsibility 

of the general contractor. 

One would say, therefore, that the general contractor, in 

the situation described, should have done a better job,

ut the issue is not that clear cut. A general contractor 

who makes weathertight buildings cannot personally 

monitor every inch of a project. One person — an 

architect, a foreman or a consultant — is typically made 

responsible for critical systems, such as HVAC, structural 

and building envelope. That individual’s most important 

attribute is knowing what problems to anticipate before 

they happen. By being aware of junctions prone to leaks 

and water damage, he or she can direct questions and 

concerns in advance to the correct advisers. 

Underslab waterproofing with non-pesticide termite barrier. 

FOUNDATION 

SILL 

It is hard to fathom how new buildings can leak when 

the primary purpose of a building is to provide shelter 

from outside elements. While there are actually many 

reasons a new building leaks, there are no good reasons. 

And sadly, the number-one cause of litigation in new 

construction is water intrusion. 

To avoid the “situation” conversation, consult the 

experts when it comes to terminations, transitions, and 

penetrations during construction. This will help keep you 

on schedule, on budget and out of court. 

Mr. Leslie’s experience includes product development, contracting, and consulting. 

His over 30 years of experience has provided him with a unique insight into 

numerous aspects of the building envelope. He is a published author, public 

speaker, expert witness, and holder of multiple patents. He is an active member 

of IIBEC (Registered Waterproofing Consultant #0043), ABAA including a former 

Licensed Field Auditor (#10124) and SWRI.

HOUSE OF THE FUTURE 

by Scott Specht, Specht Architects 

What we consider to be a house in the “modern” style 

today, actually got its start over 100 years ago. In the 

1920’s through the 1970’s, however, there was an 

explosion of interest in “futuristic” houses, and they 

appeared in advertising, television shows, at theme parks, 

and throughout popular culture across the country. Some 

of these visions came to pass, such as the idea of the fully 

computer-controlled home. Some others, such as the 

spherical Rolling-House never saw the light of day. The 

House of the Future explores interesting and crazy ideas 

of how we’d be living in the 21st century. There would be 

unusual construction systems -- that were proposed -- 

from mast-supported, cable-hung structures, to factorymade 

fiberglass pods, to living bubbles made of foam. 

Some of the concepts do exist today featuring newer 

visions of tomorrow’s houses like the 3-D printed house 

and modular constructions. A current and future trend is 

the modern day version of the ‘tiny house.’ Tiny houses 

may be trendy, but they’re hard to live in for extended 

periods of time. The 21st century tiny home is realized in 

a compact and efficient package – or what we like to call 

a Comfort Capsule. This idea is composed of floor plans 

that can be stacked or placed adjacent to build the type 

of home that fits the homeowners needs. 

Future home build and design concepts will continue 

to include prefabricated houses -- easily shipped and 

quickly assembled. Featuring a full kitchen, bath, it will 

include all the elements to comfortably support single 

living or family dwelling. What sets these designs apart 

from other prefab structures is the ability to operate 

independently, without the need for any external 

connections. Another ongoing future trend is homes that 

are sustainable, meaning they are made to generate their 

own power, process waste, collect and store rainwater, 

and require minimal maintenance.

Selling in the COVID Era 

Wednesday, June 16 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

Selling in the construction industry during and post COVID is challenging. Some of the tried and true methods are less 

effective and many new ones are not as effective as they were at the onset. How do you adjust your sales strategy to 

continue to produce profitable business, increase revenue and even grow in this time period? Giving up on sales is a 

mistake and will be realized often when it’s too late. What we’ll cover: 

• Is outside sales still relevant • Is Zoom the new normal • Is face to face selling possible 

How can you integrate digital selling with traditional selling? 

We will dive deep into all these areas and you will come out with a baseline to build a sales plan. Many construction 

industry related companies are thriving in this climate. This is a chance for you to be one of those experiencing success. 

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders & Remodelers 

Networking & Association Use 

Thursday, June 17 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area 

Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues 

money and don’t maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to 

join, how to work them and get business from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and 

network contacts is right in your backyard association! 

Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!

living in the future of 2020. Scott will cover the strange building techniques that these visionaries thought we’d be using, 

including spray-foam structures, bolt-together fiberglass shells, and even inflatable bubble homes. 

Scott will also talk about what the true home of the future will encompass looking forward, covering the newer ideas of 

lighting, home automation, and architecture. 

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders, and Remodelers

DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES: THE PROCESS 

Architects and designers put their 

hearts and souls into creating beautiful 

spaces. As construction begins, they see 

that vision come to life. As part of this 

process, interior and exterior signs are a 

necessity, whether it is an office tower, 

multifamily apartment building, or retail 

space. Unfortunately, signs are 

commonly, the last piece of the puzzle, 

and signs are quickly put up as the 

project nears the completion to meet 

regulations and code requirements with 

little thought to design. 

Signs, however, should be an integral part 

of any building’s design. As your sign 

partner, FSGS collaborates with the 

architects and designers in creating a 

complete signage package that becomes 

an enhancing part of the design of the 

space, rather than an afterthought. 

I don’t think a lot of people think of signage companies as 

being a partner in the design process & the benefit that can 

have on the end project. For us, the value of having a true 

environmental graphic designer on our team is immeasurable. 

Working with the design team at FSGS who can speak the 

language of the architects and provide recommendations 

based on the design plans helps to create a cohesive end 

product on any project. Most importantly, they provide 

forethought early in the process to what might be required in 

terms of blocking, power supplies, etc. 

- Russell Hagg, AIA and architect at GFF Interiors. 

FSGS design-build services mean a single team 

completes the sign project from conception through 

fabrication and installation. 

Benefits Include: 

Single point-of-contact 

More accurate budgeting 

Control over unexpected costs 

Streamlined scheduling

$500 MILLION NOW 

AVAILABLE FOR PRE- 

DISASTER MITIGATION 

PROJECTS 

By Mary Scott Nabers 

Climate change and the need for mitigation efforts for 

disaster control have resulted in more federal funding 

available for public entities throughout the U.S. 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 

soon will distribute up to $500 million from a new 

Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) 

grant program for pre-disaster mitigation projects. The 

funding is available for public officials at the state and 

local levels of government. 

Contractors interested in this type of work should 

monitor regional funding requests because they are tied 

to planned projects. A few examples of upcoming projects 

follow. 

Illinois 

The cities of Centreville, Cahokia, and Alorton will merge 

to become Cahokia Heights later this year. While that 

will please local community leaders, there’s a bit of 

sobering news as well. There is a significant problem 

related to major flood trouble zones, and a $22 million 

grant application has been submitted to the new FEMA 

program. If granted, the city will use the funding for 

projects related to sewer work, new pump stations, 

and other upgrades. Construction will begin soon if the 

funding is approved. 

Louisiana 

There is similar activity in Louisiana. The Louisiana 

Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s budget for 

fiscal 2022, which starts July 1, outlines a spending plan 

for $887 million for projects along the state’s coastline. 

At least 71 percent of the funding is earmarked for 

construction projects related to flood mitigation. 

Construction is slated for early 2022 on a $162 million 

Terrebonne Basin Ridge and Marsh Creation Project. The 

project is designed to restore and maintain approximately 

1,430 acres of eroding saltwater marsh and 80 acres of 

earthen ridge of the Bayou Terrebonne. 

Another project with projected costs at more than $108 

million will be launched to rebuild marshes and oyster 

reefs around Lake Borgne, the Golden Triangle area, and 

areas of the Biloxi Marsh shoreline. 

In Plaquemines Parish, $75 million has been designated 

for the Barataria Basin Ridge and Marsh Restoration 

Project and $50 million is tagged for work on the Mid- 

Barataria and Mid-Breton sediment diversions. These 

projects are related to an ongoing effort to prevent the 

bottom third of the state from disappearing into the Gulf 

of Mexico. 

Arkansas 

The city of Bentonville will ask residents in April to 


mitigation for sea-level rise and flooding. The Resilient 

Florida Grant Program would have the state commit 

millions of dollars to tackle flooding issues and to provide 

assistance to local municipalities in combatting specific 

risks and vulnerabilities. The bill requires the Department 

of Environmental Protection to start tracking flood 

vulnerability and sea-level rise on an ongoing basis. Data 

collected would be used for reports to the governor and 

legislature. 

approve $266 million in bonds for critical projects to 

reduce flooding. Prioritized projects are all related to 

flood mitigation. Most of the projects are located in the 

downtown area because of higher density housing. The 

projects will include work related to curbs, gutters, inlets, 

pipes, ponds, channels, and streams. 

Texas 

The Texas General Land Office recently approved $135.4 

million in flood mitigation projects in a second round of 

grant funding. This is part of agency’s $2.3 billion regional 

mitigation program, which began in 2016 to protect 

environments from future damage from hurricanes, 

flooding, and other disasters. 

Hidalgo County will receive almost $10 million for flood 

mitigation projects. One project directly impacted by the 

funds is the expansion of the main floodwater channel 

that will add millions of cubic yards to the system’s water 

capacity. This effort’s goal is to limit flooding in Hidalgo 

County and other portions of the Rio Grande Valley. 

The city of Houston will receive $8.2 million for its Alief 

Forest Area Flood Mitigation Project that will reconfigure 

Boone and Hackberry parks. This work is necessary to 

detain stormwater and reduce flood risk in surrounding 

areas located in the 100-year floodplain. 

The city of Eastland was approved for $10 million to 

conduct dam repairs. This project will involve vegetation 

removal from spillway areas and reconstruction of the 

spillway at Lake Eastland. 

Arizona 

The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has 

created a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program from 

fiscal years 2021-2025. Funding for mitigation projects 

includes: 

• Rehabilitation work on dams within the Guadalupe 

Flood Retarding Structure to replace and upgrade the 

intake structures. The estimated project cost is $15.8 

million. 

• The Ellsworth and McKellips Road project will likely 

involve construction of a basin. 

• An $18.1 million project for Circle K Park will involve 

construction of a 35 acre-foot detention basin. 

California 

The Santa Clara Valley Water District has released 

its Fiscal Year 2022-2026 Flood Protection Capital 

Improvement Plan. There are dozens of projects outlined: 

• Flood protection improvements are planned with a 

projected cost of $63 million to protect homes, schools, 

businesses, and roadways from flooding risks resulting 

from a 20-year flood event. 

• A $95 million project to design and construct 

improvements along the Guadalupe River is planned. 

This work would restore the 100-year flood conveyance 

capacity to provide some degree of flood protection. 

• Improvement projects related to the Lower Penitencia 

Creek are projected at a cost of $28 million. The work 

will be designed to maintain existing FEMA accreditation 

along the east levee located between California Circle 

and Berryessa Creek. 

The new BRIC funding is only one of several grant 

programs designed to help finance projects that protect 

the country from the ravages of climate change.
