The Water Industry’s Role in Fixing America’s Bridges

According to estimates from the Department of Transportation, there are about 45,000 bridges rated in poor condition in the United States. Ken Albaugh, Xylem Director of Sales for Water Infrastructure in the United States, and Joey Guerrero, Xylem National Accounts Manager for Dewatering, join the show to discuss a specific, yet massive, portion of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: the Bridge Investment Program.

Albaugh and Guerrero outline the significant investment towards repairing and improving bridge conditions in the coming years, including $5.3 billion in 2022 alone, and how Xylem is supporting customers through the process by offering solutions that focus on improving water infrastructure and sustainability, as well as assisting the mining industry with water management, efficiency, water treatment and more.
