BUSINESS NEWS CH2M RATED NO. 1 IN TOP 50 TRENCHLESS DESIGN FIRMS LIST FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR For the third consecutive year, CH2M earned the top spot on Trenchless Technology ’s Top 50 Trenchless Engineering Design Firms list. The firm has topped the list in seven of the last eight years. Trenchless Technology ’s list is developed by comparing firms based on their trenchless billings in the North American market, as well as numbers of trenchless professionals, completed trenchless projects and a breakdown of what trenchless components made up the projects reported. CH2M reported approximately $214 million in trenchless projects over the last fiscal year, and more than 1,500 projects during the last five years reflecting components such as auger boring, horizontal directional drilling, microtunneling, pipe bursting, pipeline condition assessment and rehabilitation, utility tunneling, and evaluation studies. “Asan industry leader indevelopinganddeploying trenchless and tunneling technologies, either on their own merit or as part of larger conveyance projects, CH2M brings innovative and cost- effective approaches for buried infrastructure assessment, rehabilitation, replacement, and new installations for our clients’ specific water, wastewater and energy conveyance projects, and concerns and outcomes,” said CH2M Conveyance Practice Director Susan Moisio.

flooding on Interstate 10, and the structural rehabilitation of the Taggart Outfall 30 brick sewer in Portland, Oregon. CH2M also designed and built raw water pipelines as part of the larger Davis-Woodland Regional Water Supply Design- Build Project, named Outstanding Water Project of the Year by the American Society of Civil Engineers, Sacramento Section and received a National Award of Merit from the Design-Build Institute of America. This year, CH2M also received an Honorable Mention for the Trenchless Project of the Year award from Trenchless Technology for their Tredyffrin Township Emergency Rehab of the Wilson Road Force Main, which included four miles of 30-inch prestressed concrete cylinder pipe rehabilitation through the historic Valley Forge National Park. “It’s an honor to be recognized Trenchless Technology again this year,” said CH2M Tunnel Practice Director Mark Johnson. “As trenchless technologies continue improving, more of our clients will look to companies like ours to help repair or replace their aging underground infrastructure or install new buried infrastructure, and that’s another honor we’re most excited about – bringing these excellent options to our client partners.” With more than 40 years of tunnel and trenchless project planning, management, design, and construction management experience, CH2M trenchless experts have worked on complex projects around the world to manage and extend the useful service life of existing infrastructure, as well as install new drinking water, wastewater, and energy conveyance systems without disrupting the surrounding communities.

characteristics between real entrepreneurs and everyone else. You cannot keep putting off all risk thinking it makes you smart. Real accomplishment is probably going to take real risks (and sacrifice). 3)Stop wasting so much time. When you are really busy and have a million commit- ments, it’s one thing to take some time to relax and recharge the batteries. This could be called “productive time-wasting” because there is a benefit that comes from it. I contrast this with non-productive time wasting. That includes things such as wasting hours ev- ery day on social media or playing repetitive computer games versus interacting with real people or doing something productive with your time. Too many people waste too much time on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. 4)Increase your time (above ground) as much as you can. Better diet, exercise, not smoking, stress reduction – all of these are important. Go to the doctor for regular checkups. I cannot understand people who go five or 10 years without a checkup. Makes no sense. Get your lab work done and ward off problems. 5)Get on those long-term projects NOW. Time to start making headway on building that vacation house, restoring your dad’s first car, writing your novel, implementing that ownership transition program in your firm, or whatever else it is you have been talking about doing for a long time. Now. Not later. Contrary to what The Rolling Stones said, time is not on your side. Better start acting like you know that before it’s too late! MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder.
