The December APWA Reporter, our Facilities and Grounds issue, is now available online! Public works departments are often tasked with maintaining facilities and grounds, keeping them ready for the communities they serve.
President Vic Bianes, PE, in his December President’s Message, says, “Every clean sidewalk, mowed field, functioning restroom, meeting room, or maintained HVAC system is a testament to their ongoing dedication.”
In this issue, you can read about:
- Being more inclusive when thinking about building design to ensure the facility also works for operations staff. Story by APWA member Chris Ewell, RLA, MPA.
- In a story by APWA member Dave Bosso, find out how using infrared scanning can help diagnose and repair problems before they can become catastrophic failures.
- Ryan Josti takes it back to basics by reminding us why it’s important to occasionally put technology aside and get out from behind the desk to put eyes on your facilities’ condition.
There’s even more to digest in this month’s issue, so get started reading now.
