3D Finite Nonlinear Analysis Models the True
Behavior of Fabric Building and Fabric
Calhoun Super Structure custom-engineers and manufac-
tures fabric structures using our unique site-specific analysis,
providing you with prescriptive recommendations for a
highly reliable fabric building facility. Whether you seek
storage or plant facility, the site of your operation is unique.
By deeply analysing wind speed, snow load, and seismic
conditions for your area, Calhoun is the only manufacturer
in the industry to include the negative effects that fabric can
place on the strength and durability of a building, and engi-
neers accordingly. Our unique procedure results in an opti-
mal use of materials and ensures a reliable structure, going
beyond industry standards. For more information, visit

Fracta: Bringing
artificial intelligence to
infrastructure
Fracta is a cloud-based digital
condition assessment tool
that uses GIS and AI-Machine Learning to more accurately,
quickly and affordably pinpoint which drinking water mains
to replace. Fracta is helping U.S. drinking water utilities save
or more efficiently spend up to 40% of its long-term capital
spend. Using pipe data, break history and hundreds of
geographical and environmental variables, Fracta calculates
the Likelihood of Failure (LOF) for each pipe segment in a
water distribution system. Results are displayed in graphical,
tabular and map views enabling utilities to visualize
water main vulnerabilities and make smarter replacement
decisions. For more information, contact Doug Hatler, VP of
Sales and Marketing, at (973) 534-8751 or dhatler@fracta.ai.

Public-private
partnership
wins award
for creating
engineering “assembly line”
The Rockford (Illinois) Water Division and Fehr Graham,
a Midwest engineering and environmental firm, received an
award from the Rockford Chamber of Commerce for their
unique public-private partnership, which has saved time
and taxpayer money and is ensuring that the city’s water
infrastructure investment program is a top priority executed
transparently and efficiently. The partnership created an
engineering “assembly line,” consisting of design, bid and
construction inspection services, and contained public
service components to educate the community. City staff
remains effective and proactive in improving water systems,
while Fehr Graham continues to prepare plans and secure
approvals to advance various projects. For more information
