⭐ Milestone Monday: Employee Spotlight ⭐ Congratulations to Rachel Tanley and Spencer Werner on becoming Autodesk Certified Professionals in BIM Management! This certification focuses on BIM management for multi-disciplinary engineering, building design, including modeling, coordination, and data management. Those seeking certification also need extensive experience, typically including four or more years of experience alongside recommended 2,000 plus hours of hands-on Autodesk software usage before they can take the exam.

Yesterday, we were proud to attend the groundbreaking for the new @clevelandbrowns Stadium in Brook Park. It’s exciting to see this major project officially underway, and we’re happy to be on the team for such a huge investment in our community. Looking forward to what’s ahead!

Join us and CREW Cleveland tomorrow for The Future Looks Bright: Cleveland Downtown Lakefront Development, an engaging conversation on what’s next for our downtown waterfront. The expert panel will discuss the big picture vision, current challenges, and the path forward for Cleveland’s lakefront development through 2027 and beyond. This is a great opportunity to hear directly from leaders shaping the future of the city. 🔗 Last chance to register: /q/11mDut1UizXbrnMhNtoGPXf/wv

Members of Osborn's Ohio Valley team recently volunteered to plant trees with @green_columbus . The team bonded while giving back to the community. Green Columbus is a sustainability-focused nonprofit striving to activate volunteer engagement, grow equitable tree canopy coverage, and foster resilient communities. Since 2007, the group has planted more than 300,000 trees!

Ready to get out and enjoy the nice weather and take advantage of Ohio's state parks? If you desire a deeper connection to nature, check out the Eco-Discovery Center at Salt Fork State Park. Collaborating [email protected] and ODNR, Osborn Engineering provided engineering services to this impactful nature center. The building includes high-efficiency HVAC equipment and filtration, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and a water bottle refilling station. Visitors will discover a green roof and wall with a rainwater harvesting system upon entering the building. Once inside, guests participate in interactive exhibits educating them about nature and sustainability.

At Osborn, we believe the greatest strength comes from connection. We don’t just encourage industry involvement, we champion it. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to see our team members stepping into pivotal leadership roles within SMPS chapters across the country. Please join us in celebrating our latest board and committee representatives: @smps_columbus : Dana Ford (Membership Co-Chair) @smps_neo : Teresa Carlisle (Secretary & Programs Co-Chair) & Jenny Sherwood (Logistics Representative) @smpstampabay : Marcia Alvarado (Programs Committee) @smpssofl : Allyson Ambros (Programs Director) Together, they aren't just representing Osborn—they’re shaping the future of our industry.

Over 90 years ago, Osborn Engineering helped shape one of Cleveland’s most memorable waterfront experiences, the Great Lakes Exposition of 1936 and 1937. From Public Hall to 20th Street, the Expo covered 135-acres and created a lively waterfront destination, offering affordable amusement to over seven-million visitors during the height of the Great Depression. The two-year celebration created 11,000 jobs and included 201 buildings, a three-acre lakeside garden and reflecting pool, and the iconic Aquacade, a 160-foot floating stage on Lake Erie. The Aquacade featured headline swim performances by Olympic champions Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm, as well as synchronized swimming, diving, and music. The grandstand and lagoon theater seating, both designed by Osborn, had seating for 5,000 people to enjoy entertainment, dinner and dancing with tickets costing up to $1.50. Fast forward to today, and we are proud to once again be working on this very same lakefront site, now home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as part of its exciting expansion. Almost a century apart, the purpose remains very similar, creating spaces that bring people together for entertainment and experiences along Cleveland’s waterfront. We are honored to continue building on this legacy. Photos courtesy of “The Cleveland Press Collection, Michael Schwartz Library, Cleveland State University - /press/index.html”

We’re excited to spotlight Lou Hill, Director of Mechanical Engineering in our Grand Rapids office, as he reflects on his first year growing Osborn’s presence in West Michigan. Lou shares what excites him most about his role, his inspiration into engineering, and what he enjoys outside of work.

Osborn was proud to present alongside Phil Dangerfield of Haslam Sports Group on the Cleveland Browns Domed Stadium and its role in regional economic development and public infrastructure transformation. Thank you to the Cleveland State University ASCE Student Chapter for hosting an engaging evening with engineers, students, and industry leaders shaping the future of Northeast Ohio.

Osborn Engineering recently completed the Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge Cathodic Protection (CP) Project, a nearly three-year corrosion mitigation effort for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This large-scale initiative strengthens the bridge’s substructure and extends its service life through the installation of an impressed current cathodic protection system—designed to perform in a demanding coastal environment. Our team executed work across approximately 156 piers, each consisting of four individual footers. Every footer received two bulk anode assemblies, resulting in a significant and highly coordinated system installation. The scope required marine access, precise placement, and close coordination to ensure long-term performance and reliability. The completed CP system now delivers continuous corrosion protection for the bridge’s reinforced concrete elements—reducing future maintenance demands and helping preserve one of the region’s most vital transportation corridors for years to come. 👏 Special thanks to Matt Kunda, James Hoyle, and Byron Evetts for their consistent, diligent efforts throughout this complex project. Osborn Engineering designs and delivers cathodic protection solutions for: • Bridges • Seawalls • Marine structures • Wastewater facilities • Water tanks • Pipelines • Ports and wharves • Amusement and theme parks If your infrastructure faces corrosion challenges, Osborn Engineering has the expertise to protect it—today and for the long term.
