Civil engineering risk management is not only an important topic, it can be a nebulous one.

Gray areas, assumptions, communication breakdowns, in other words: a real mess.

So ASCE has launched a new Risk Management Community of Practice – a space for engineers to share and learn and compare notes in hopes of removing some of the confusion around risk.

Bill McAnally and Mitch Winkler are members of the ASCE Committee on Infrastructure Risk Management and together they have been the driving force to establish the new CoP.

They’ve even developed a Risk Management Primer, to help simplify risk management for civil engineers.

McAnally is a water resources engineer in Columbus, Mississippi. Winkler is a structural engineer by training with decades of experience in the oil and gas industry in Houston.

In episode 186 of ASCE Plot Points, McAnally and Winkler talk about risk management.
