These two significant pieces of legislation will spur continued growth and tax revenue to keep the economy growing well into the next several years. This will bolster federal, state and local government budgets, resulting in additional infrastructure investment from all levels of government.\u201d \u2013 Doug Massih, President, Infrastructure Sector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>States will rely on alternative approaches to planning and construction in order to pay for their projects<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cExpect a large upswing in design\/build transportation projects and more public\/private partnership procurements. These more agile delivery methods could be the best way for states to meet their funding goals, depending on what happens with the Trump administration\u2019s planned infrastructure push and potential staffing cutbacks at state transportation departments.\u201d \u2013 David Clevenger, Principal, Transportation Design.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A boom in projects in some states will prompt labor shortages across the spectrum \u2013 and lead to delays for companies that don\u2019t plan accordingly.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cStates will continue to lead the way in terms of public programs over the next three years, causing potential labor and professional shortages as projects are teed up. As an example, in California, major water projects such as the Sacramento Delta project and the tremendous number of transportation infrastructure projects under consideration will lead to an acute shortage of professional and field labor. The shortage of personnel will even impact oversight agencies. This will back up schedules for some projects. Firms will need to strategically re-allocate or relocate personnel to keep projects on target in advance of this phenomenon.\u201d \u2013 Dave Zarider, Senior Vice President, California Initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">Power<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <ul>\n<li><strong>The transition to renewable sources of energy will continue unabated.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTRC is experiencing strong demand in solar siting projects, and overall U.S. spending on renewables \u2013 solar, wind, geothermal, hydro \u2013 is anticipated to exceed $13 billion per year through 2020.\u201d \u2013 John Cowdery, President, Environmental Sector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expanding energy storage and finding new uses for old power plants will become priorities.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cInterest in grid-integrated energy storage and distributed generation will remain high. Look for growing interest on the part of utilities to supplement grid hardening activities in order to make them more resilient to storms, natural disasters, cyber attacks or terrorist threats.

The Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has new leadership, and we can expect to see action on rules affecting underground storage of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines \u2013 some of them with clear compromises showing. The natural gas transmission and gathering rule (the so-called \u201cMega Rule\u201d) will continue to be hotly debated through PHMSA advisory committees, with a final rule possibly coming near the end of 2018.\u201d \u2013 Jeff Wiese, Vice President, Pipeline Integrity Services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investment in natural gas projects will be tempered by low prices.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cDue to massive capacity additions to the global LNG trade \u2013 mainly from the U.S., Russia and Australia \u2013 the average price of natural gas will stay below $7 globally and below $3.50 in the United States. This will stifle investment in many long-term projects, such as global-scale LNG export facilities.

As a result, sensor technology will support energy and indoor air quality management programs in commercial buildings and find an expanded role in community air monitoring programs, such as those anticipated under California Assembly Bill 617.\u201d \u2013 David Elam, Vice President \u2013 Project Director, Air Measurements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Renovation and re-use will be the name of the game in commercial real estate.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWith the overall economy likely to continue growing, the real estate market will remain active.
