At Atlas, technical excellence extends beyond project delivery — it includes advancing the standards, practices and people that shape the construction industry. Jaclyn Ferraro, Senior Concrete Petrographer and Team Manager, and Jay Dorst, National Practice Manager – Forensics and Structural Investigations, highlight their work at Atlas, the complex infrastructure projects they support and their leadership within professional organizations such as the American Concrete Institute, ASTM International and various certification programs.

Together, Jaclyn and Jay embody Atlas’ commitment to technical rigor, collaboration and industry leadership — advancing not only projects, but the standards and practices that shape the built environment.

Both of you work in highly technical disciplines. How would you describe your focus at Atlas?

Jaclyn Ferraro: My role centers on petrography — understanding construction materials at a microscopic level to answer real, practical questions. At Atlas, I manage our petrographic laboratory services while also working nationally on forensic investigations, aggregate evaluations and condition assessments of concrete and construction materials. Whether we’re investigating issues that present themselves during construction, damage that develops over time such as chemical reactions within the concrete, or singular events such as fire damage, the objective is always the same: to provide clear information so clients can make informed decisions about their structures and materials.

Jay Dorst: My focus is broader but complementary to Jaclyn’s work. I support structural and metallurgical engineering, welding, corrosion and specialty testing — often on large, complex infrastructure and building projects. At Atlas, I lead teams involved in quality assurance programs, forensic investigations, source inspections and structural testing. A core part of my role is translating highly technical findings into actionable guidance so owners, agencies and contractors can address challenges while keeping projects moving forward safely.

Much of Atlas’ work involves quality assurance and independent oversight on complex infrastructure projects across the country. Are there any projects you’ve worked on that you find particularly rewarding as a professional in this industry?

Jay Dorst:
One effort that stands out involved providing independent quality assurance and oversight on a large, statewide transportation program. I led teams evaluating weld quality, prestressed concrete girder performance and fabrication conditions across multiple structures. The level of rigor required on projects like this is exceptionally high, as the work supports safety, long-term durability and confidence in major infrastructure investments.

Another impactful example was a high-rise building investigation, where our team performed independent forensic evaluations and laboratory testing to understand contributing factors related to structural performance concerns identified during construction. Projects like these highlight the importance of objective, technical oversight — particularly on fast-paced, complex projects where coordination, accountability and performance expectations are high.

Jaclyn Ferraro: Forensic concrete investigations are always impactful because they help explain what’s happening within the material and why certain behaviors or conditions develop. My work frequently involves evaluating deterioration related to freeze-thaw exposure, chemical attack, strength deficiencies or aggregate reactivity. I also support aggregate qualification and air-void system analyses for airfield paving and heavy-duty pavements.

Professional organizations and certifications play a major role in your work. Why is this involvement so important?

Jaclyn Ferraro: Professional organizations are essential to advancing quality, consistency and technical excellence in the concrete industry. I’ve been an active member of the American Concrete Institute Illinois Chapter (ACI-IL) for more than 10 years and have served on its Board of Directors since 2021. I stepped into executive leadership roles beginning in 2024 and currently serve as Chapter President.

ACI plays a vital role in developing technical resources, best practices and certification programs that influence how concrete is designed, produced, tested and evaluated. At the chapter level, we focus on providing education, professional networking and certification support for practitioners across the state, while remaining closely aligned with national and international standards.

This year’s ACI Convention in Rosemont, Illinois, was especially meaningful. Atlas was a sponsor and ACI-IL was the host and sponsoring chapter. I had the opportunity to co-chair the convention and to welcome attendees during the Opening Session.

Beyond ACI, I’m deeply involved with ASTM International (the American Society for Testing and Materials). ASTM develops industry-standard specifications and test methods used to evaluate the strength, durability and performance of cement and aggregate materials. These standards provide consistency across laboratories, job sites and investigations, and are foundational to quality and repeatability in construction projects. I’m also active with the Society of Concrete Petrographers (SCP), which supports collaboration, peer learning and mentoring within this highly specialized discipline.

Supporting the next generation is one of the most rewarding aspects of this work. I’m especially proud that my Atlas colleague, Alethea Muno, Petrographer II, was recently selected as an ASTM Emerging Professional — a recognition that reflects both her technical potential and Atlas’ broader commitment to cultivating future industry leaders.

Jay Dorst: From an engineering and construction perspective, standards and certifications provide the framework that allows complex projects to move forward with confidence. I’ve been a member of the American Concrete Institute since 2014 and am actively involved in several technical committees that influence construction quality and safety.

I serve as a voting member of ACI Committees C680 and C681, which oversee certification programs for installers and inspectors of post‑installed anchors in concrete, and as a voting member and Vice Chair of ACI Committee 355, which focuses on anchor qualification and performance. I currently serve as Task Group Chair leading efforts to improve anchor testing in moving cracks — work that supports structural performance in seismic and dynamic conditions.

I have also been actively involved with ASTM International for more than 20 years, serving as a member of Committees E6.11 and E6.13. Throughout that time, I have contributed to and drafted multiple ASTM standards related to testing of fiber‑reinforced polymers and anchors to concrete. These standards support consistency and reliability across engineering, construction and forensic investigations.

How do your disciplines intersect when it comes to advanced expertise in safety management and risk mitigation — critical considerations when solving client challenges?

Jay Dorst: Many challenges don’t fit neatly into a single category. A structural concern may be influenced by material behavior, fabrication practices, welding quality or environmental exposure, which makes collaboration essential.

Alongside Jaclyn’s petrography laboratory, within my team, we maintain a forensic metallurgical laboratory, structural engineering support and field-testing teams that provide complementary support depending on the scope of the investigation. This approach allows us to evaluate materials, structural performance and construction practices together, helping clients understand what occurred and how those factors affect durability, performance and safety.

Jaclyn Ferraro: Exactly. Petrography often answers the “why,” while engineering answers the “so what.” At Atlas, those conversations happen naturally across disciplines, allowing us to deliver more complete conclusions.

What keeps you motivated in your work at Atlas?

Jaclyn Ferraro: Solving problems that matter, contributing to the profession through standards development and mentoring the next generation of materials professionals.

Jay Dorst: The combination of technical challenges and real-world impact. When our work strengthens decision-making and supports the quality and safety of the built environment, that’s incredibly rewarding.

Project earns an ACEC Georgia Engineering Excellence Award.

Babak (Bobby) Shayan, David McKenney, Alexandra Davis, Andrew Pankopp and Andy Casey accept award on behalf project team.��

Spelman College has long been recognized for its academic excellence and leadership in liberal arts and sciences. As the college envisioned its first major new academic building in more than 25 years, campus leaders saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary — a space where the arts and sciences could finally converge and inspire one another.

The result is the 82,500‑square‑foot , a landmark building positioned at one of the campus’s most prominent corners. Designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, the Center includes performance spaces, classrooms, dance studios, a museum, a café and the Arthur M. Blank Innovation Lab — an advanced maker space inviting students from across disciplines to experiment and create.

The project recently earned statewide recognition, receiving an , in the Special Projects category. This award highlights the successful collaboration and technical excellence that brought this transformational building to life.

Engineering a Shared Vision

Atlas is proud to have played a significant role in delivering the site design solutions that made this bold vision possible. Our team provided comprehensive services, including site planning, grading and drainage, stormwater management, utility design, erosion control, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) documentation, permitting and construction support.

Designing within a dense, historic and active campus environment required meticulous planning and coordination. The project site, formerly a faculty parking lot, contained a complex web of existing utilities critical to campus operations. Atlas conducted extensive investigation and subsurface utility exploration to minimize relocations, protect essential systems and see that construction could move forward without disrupting campus life.

This careful groundwork proved invaluable, especially when designing the foundations for the pedestrian bridge that connects the new Center to the campus core. Bridge footings were needed in an area crowded with existing and proposed utilities. Atlas worked closely with the structural engineering team, using designating and targeted test pits to verify the exact location and elevation of utilities.

Sustainable Solutions Below the Surface

While much of the Center’s beauty is visible in its open, sun‑lit architecture and inviting outdoor “porch” spaces, some of its most impactful engineering features lie underground.

Located within — an area historically affected by pollution and flooding — the site required thoughtful water management strategies. Atlas designed a 63,200‑gallon underground cistern, constructed from 84‑inch‑diameter pipe, to capture runoff from both landscaped areas and building rooftops. Pretreatment through vegetated swales and a high‑capacity First Defense system improves water quality, reduces downstream flooding and gives Spelman a sustainable irrigation source that reduces reliance on the city’s potable water supply.

During utility evaluations, Atlas also identified opportunities to enhance segments of the existing sanitary sewer system serving a large portion of campus. The team designed a new watertight sewer main, improving system performance and safeguarding both campus operations and nearby natural environments.

The Center for Innovation and the Arts has already catalyzed new activity and programming on campus, creating a vibrant hub for creativity and discovery. For Atlas, the project represents the impact of thoughtful civil engineering — solutions that operate quietly beneath the surface yet play a pivotal role in a building’s performance, sustainability and long‑term campus value.

“Earning the 2026 ACEC Georgia Merit Award underscores the significance of this achievement. The Center stands as a testament to what can be accomplished when visionary design meets technical precision: a building that not only serves Spelman College today but strengthens its legacy for generations to come,” said Tom Price, Atlas Infrastructure President.

Additional Award-Winning Contributions

Alongside the Merit Award for the Spelman Center for Innovation and the Arts, Atlas was also recognized for its contributions to the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility Expansion and the Brookhaven City Center, which earned a State Award and an Honor Award, respectively.

Q&A with Alex Peck, Atlas National Director of Industrial Hygiene & Building Science��

What is��Legionella,��and why is it dangerous?

In 1976,��one of the top��news��stories was the��mysterious pneumonia��outbreak at the landmark Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.����

Approximately 4,000 representatives from the state��American Legion met��for a bicentennial convention��at the hotel��that��July.��The meeting went off without any issues, but several days��following the event,��hundreds of��attendees��began coming down with pneumonia-like symptoms.��By August,��approximately��30 people had��died��from complications. Following the outbreak, a research microbiologist from��the Center for��Disease��Control and Prevention (CDC) determined the cause to be a��new��bacterium, known today as��Legionella��pneumophilia, which is commonly��found in water pipes and air conditioning units.����

This first outbreak��identified��a��public health��threat��for��large facilities like hotels��and hospitals, where water��moves slowly through a complex web of pipes, valves and other plumbing fixtures, and the threat is still very��real today.��Yearly outbreaks of��Legionnaire’s disease��and Pontiac fever��(a milder case of��legionellosis)��occur,��including recent cases��in��California,��New York��and Florida.����

While the threat is real��and likely increasing��due to a combination of increased surveillance, aging populations, increased urban density��and��warmer temperatures��that create a prime environment for increased bacteria growth��(especially in��America’s��aging��buildings and their water��systems), it is imperative for businesses to focus on prevention, rather than mitigation.����Not only is prevention less costly,��but it��can��most importantly help��save lives��and��protect your��company’s reputation.��Not to mention, outbreaks can lead to extended closures and loss of business, which can be costly too.����

Is Legionnaire’s��disease preventable?����

Yes, Legionnaire’s disease is preventable if businesses take proper precautions to��maintain��their water systems.��The CDC reported 6,000 cases in 2015��and predicts annual cases range from 10,000 to 15,000.����

How can your business protect itself from��legionella outbreaks in your facilities?����​

Legionella��outbreaks are likely to occur in buildings with��large,��complex water systems, such as hospitals, nursing homes,��hotels, office buildings,��manufacturing��facilities��and in��engineered water systems like cooling towers, water��fountains��and hot tubs.����

The most��common��places��to breed bacterial growth include:��

• Cooling towers.��

• Water features (falls, foundations, ponds, misters).��

• Swimming pools and hot tubs.��

• Drinking water fountains.��

• Aging water systems.��

• Unused plumbing.��

• Ice machines.��

• Water heating and hot water distribution.��

• Shower heads and faucets.��

However, by conducting formal evaluations to��identify��places��where��Legionella��growth��is likely to occur in your facility, you can proactively mitigate your risk by taking a basic approach��that involves:��

• Creating��a team.��

• Diagraming��water systems.��

• Evaluating��systems for risks.��

• Implementing��controls.��

• Monitoring��corrective actions.��

• Assessing��program effectiveness.��

• Documentation.��

How is Legionella regulated?����​

Unfortunately,��not��many��regulations specific to��Legionella��(although the number is increasing)��exist, and currently no federal regulations��are in place.��The��Centers for Medicare and Medicaid��Services (CMS)��has issued a��memo��that requires��all Medicaid facilities��nationally��to develop and��maintain��a��Legionella��management program,��in accordance with��the��CDC recommendations.����

Some state agencies have adopted their own��Legionella��regulations.��For instance, in 2015 and 2016, New York published rules for cooling towers and medical facilities, which��include registration of cooling towers, monitoring, notification,��maintenance��and reporting.����

More recently,��New Jersey��passed��a��comprehensive��rule,��requiring��community water systems to��always��maintain��a minimum detectable disinfectant��level in��all active parts of��its��public water system.��This��law��also��requires owners or operators of covered buildings or facilities (including hospitals, certain health care facilities,��prisons��and certain senior housing facilities) to develop a water management program to minimize the growth of L�𲵾��DzԱ������ bacteria in the facility’s water system and to include periodic sampling and testing for the presence of bacteria. It also includes fines for non-compliance.��While some state regulations exist, more can be done to protect public health.��

What is Atlas’ Experience in Addressing Legionella?��

Atlas’ team of highly qualified��industrial hygiene and building science experts have worked with businesses��and organizations��for many years to mitigate the potential risk of��Legionella.��Our team��helps by��creating��water management plans,��as well as��conducting��sampling��to identify��Legionella��and make��recommendations to help��mitigate��any��issues.��

Atlas recently helped a��25-story��office building by performing initial water sampling.��We��identified��Legionella��in one of the kitchen sinks. Our team helped��the client remediate the issue until the��Legionella��bacteria were��gone.����

We have many case studies like this; however,��to understand the real risks,��we��consider��several factors.��This might include��the number and age of��water and plumbing��fixtures, as well as how the systems have been maintained.��For example, a hotel has more��risk��than an office, and an old hotel��is more likely to have��conditions favoring��Legionella��growth��than a newly constructed hotel. Also, occupants of a retirement community are more likely to be susceptible to��Legionellosis disease than the occupants of a high school.����

If you are curious as to whether your business might be at risk for a��Legionella��outbreak, just��remember,��if��a building has��a��water system, there is a risk for��Legionella��growth. While there are��numerous��factors at play, the key to preventing��Legionella��growth is��maintaining��proper water quality,��disinfection��residuals, temperatures and flow-through—all pieces of an effective water management program.����

“I was fortunate to have a lot of women in my life who were very successful — doctors, nurses, a lawyer. My mom started out as an accountant and now she’s a COO. I saw firsthand that women could excel in traditionally male-dominated fields. Their achievements inspired me to believe that I could make my mark as well.” – Erica Lopez Law

Erica Lopez Law, a project engineer at Atlas and the eldest of five siblings, was raised in a supportive and encouraging household. Her parents, who immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines, tried to push against social norms, encouraging her to pursue her ambitions, even in fields traditionally sought by men. Inspired by her parents’ mindset and the strength of the women in her extended family, Erica chose a career that allowed her to define her own journey. Learn more about Erica’s path to engineering in this story.

Growing up in the suburbs of Burbank, California, Erica Lopez was born with a natural curiosity and sense of adventure. As the oldest of five children, her desire for independence and a chance to carve her own path grew as she got older.

Math and science seemed to come naturally, and Erica’s parents spurred her passion through participation in activities such as summer math camps, fostering a love for science and engineering.

In high school, Erica’s interest in engineering solidified. Chemistry and physics classes sparked a genuine fascination, and a summer engineering survey class introduced her to different engineering disciplines. Civil engineering stood out to Erica, combining the physics she loved with real-world applications.

The clarity she gained guided her college applications, and Erica pursued civil engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering. She chose to specialize in infrastructure materials engineering for her master’s after enjoying her work as an undergraduate research assistant in concrete and asphalt.

As she reflects back now, Erica shares that her decision to attend UT Austin would shape her future in ways she could never have imagined. Although she enjoyed her time as a student in Texas, she was ready for a move to the Rockies. Colorado, with its stunning landscapes and abundance of outdoor activities, called to her. She talked with representatives from Atlas at a college career fair.

“I expressed my desire to move to Denver, and serendipitously, they told me they had a lab in Lakewood.” Erica recalls. “After a series of conversations and interviews, Atlas offered me a position, and I made the move to Colorado three years ago.”

Erica is a project engineer at Atlas, where she handles land development projects, ensuring proper site grading, drainage and erosion control. She started with the company in the materials testing lab, gaining hands-on experience with construction materials. Her future plans are to combine her technical expertise with people and project management skills.

“Engineering offers diverse career paths, and I believe in defining my own journey,” Erica says.

Growing up, Erica was surrounded by smart, strong and accomplished women, and that played a crucial role in shaping her aspirations.

“I was fortunate to have a lot of women in my life who were very successful — doctors, nurses, a lawyer. My mom started out as an accountant and now she’s a COO,” says Erica. “I saw firsthand that women could excel in traditionally male-dominated fields. Their achievements inspired me to believe that I could make my mark as well.”

Erica says having family backing was key to her success.

“I’m grateful for my parents’ guidance and support. I realize now that my path to engineering was influenced significantly by my family,” says Erica. “As immigrants from the Philippines, my parents instilled in me the importance of a stable and successful career.”

Erica passed the Professional Engineering exam earlier this year and will be going through the application process to receive her license in the next couple of months. Her advice to engineering students is to stay focused and remember that the effort will pay off. Studying for the PE is challenging, but perseverance and dedication made it worthwhile.

When she’s not working, you can find Erica outside, enjoying all Colorado has to offer. She loves to hike, and one of her goals is to hike all of Colorado’s 14ers — those are the mountain peaks in the state that are more than 14,000 ft. above sea level. In total, there are 58.

“I’m about halfway complete and plan to spend my summer hiking and camping,” says Erica.

The outdoors can bring on all kinds of inspiration, even inspiration in engineering.

“The natural environment and its integration with human-made infrastructure fascinate me. Driving through Glenwood Canyon in Colorado, I marvel at the harmony between engineering and nature,” she says. “Civil engineering intertwines with the natural world, reminding us to be mindful of the environment. We can’t just build anywhere; we must be respectful of the earth.”

Finally, Erica offers this advice to young professionals: “Say ‘yes’ to opportunities. When I was offered a chance to take on the office safety officer role, I initially hesitated, but it brought unexpected learning experiences and growth. Embrace new paths and be open to opportunities — they can lead to incredible journeys.”

Tell us about your role in the Seattle Convention Center Expansion project.

My primary role involved overseeing the installation and operation of Automated Monitoring Total Stations (AMTS) to ensure the stability of the projects extensive shoring system. This included setting up the equipment, calibrating it, and monitoring the data to detect any shifts or movements that could indicate potential issues.

What exactly are AMTS and how do they work?

An AMTS is a high-tech instrument used to monitor the stability and movement of structures with extreme precision.

It functions much like a highly accurate land surveying total station mounted on a sturdy stand. The process involves placing reflective targets on the monitored objects and taking measurements at regular intervals — sometimes as frequently as every 15 minutes.

The data collected provides real-time insights into any shifts or deformations, allowing us to take immediate action if needed.

How do AMTS enhance precision measurement and safety in construction projects?

AMTS significantly improve precision by providing redundancy and continuous, real-time data. This allows us to detect even the smallest movements or shifts, which might go unnoticed with traditional surveying methods. The real-time aspect is crucial for safety as it enables early detection of potential structural issues, allowing for quick intervention to prevent accidents or structural failures.

What are some other benefits of using AMTS over traditional surveying methods?

The primary benefits include higher precision, real-time data collection, multiple readings per day, obtaining readings in 24/7 regime, and enhanced safety. Traditional methods often require manual measurements, which can be time-consuming and less accurate.

AMTS automate this process, ensuring consistent and accurate data while freeing up human resources for other critical tasks. Additionally, the continuous monitoring capability means that we can react faster to any detected anomalies, thereby mitigating risks more effectively.

Can you share some examples of how AMTS have been used in different types of projects?

AMTS can be used to monitor wall deformations, structural settlement, and shoring stability. In tunnel construction, AMTS can monitor convergence to ensure the tunnel walls are stable. In bridge construction, they can track any shifts in the structure that might indicate a need for reinforcement. They’re also useful in mining operations to monitor surface settlement and ensure the safety of workers.

What makes AMTS technology durable and suitable for different environmental conditions?

Units are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They typically have an IP65 or higher rating, meaning they are resistant to dust and water.

They can also operate in a wide temperature range from -20°C to +50°C — and these systems often come with battery backups and can be powered by solar panels, making them reliable even in remote or hard and dangerous to access locations.

How does the integration online accessible database improve the functionality of AMTS?

It allows AMTS to analyze data more intelligently and predict potential issues before they become significant problems. These functionalities help identify patterns and trends in the data that may not be immediately obvious to analysts using small sample datasets. Predictiveness is critical for proactive maintenance and ensuring long-term structural integrity.

What advice would you give to clients looking to incorporate AMTS into their projects?

First, talk with us to ensure we all have a clear understanding of your project’s specific needs and how AMTS can address them. Continuous monitoring done by an experienced personnel is essential to get accurate and reliable data. Lastly, always stay open to the latest advancements in the technology and out of the box solutions to maximize the benefits for your project.
