– The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast – What You Don’t know – With Eric DuPre

Eric DuPre the founder and president of Texas Infra Group, LLC.Texas Infra Group specializes in infrastructure solutions products and systems. These innovative systems assist municipal asset owners with sustainable asset management tools using existing data and newly collected data. The data is collected, centralized, and analysed to create visual aids and reports of the overall condition, financial costs, and provide meaningful insight for making informed decisions. This provides the basic foundational elements to build a Smart City platform.

Listen to this latest episode of “The DooDoo Diva's Smells like Money Podcast” where Eric talks about the condition assessment of infrastructure and utilizing grading standards such as ASCE, the oldest and the largest engineering association in the United States. He reviews the engineering analysis process using ASCE on a state-by- state basis to provide a grade of the overall condition of each states’ infrastructure. There are often assumptions due to lack of sharing of local data by municipalities which is creating a disconnect between what is being reported and the actual “state of affairs” and what can be done to correct this so that those responsible for the maintenance and operation of municipal infrastructure, in particular wastewater utilities, can obtain the funding that they need based upon accurate need versus assumed need assessments.

This episode covers:

●       American Society of Civil Engineers

●       Grading Systems

●       Grade Weighs in heavily to the funds that are going to be available to cities

Suzan also added that it almost sounds like a break up when those lines were said, Chad even likened it to the phrase “It’s not you, It’s me. They also talked about why are people leaving companies and why recruiting and retaining talent is becoming more and more challenging.
