WHERE IS THE “PUCK” GOING?!

A letter from the COO

As the Florida Panthers prepare to raise another championship banner, I am reminded of Wayne Gretzky’s quote: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” While we celebrate our accomplishments, our focus remains on the future of where the puck is going.

Looking ahead, we’re advancing several strategic initiatives: Community – We’re investing in team wellness, responsive client solutions, and meaningful community engagement.

Technology – Our emerging technology team is focused on initiatives that will keep us ahead of the curve, such as Drone/LiDAR, AI, GIS, virtual/augment reality, and Data Management.

Market Development – We are continuing to strengthen public-private partnerships and supporting infrastructure, water management, and vibrant spaces for living, working, and playing.

As we enter the final quarter of 2025, we reflect on the relationships we’ve strengthened and the progress we’ve made in advancing our mission to create, preserve, and enhance our communities.

Our team continues to deliver impactful work across Florida and beyond. Highlights include: Vulnerability assessments for multiple communities and new contracts with South Florida Water Management District, focusing on our KEITH Water efforts and sustainable practice to support the growth and preservation of key assets.

Ongoing development at Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale International Airport continuing to advance the vital connections for goods and people in our KEITH Access and KEITH Facility.

KEITH Life has seen major development at The Pomp by Cordish Companies in Pompano Beach; as well as the anticipated completion of the Hyatt Andaz resort in the Turks and Caicos.

FDOT remains a top client, with active projects across Districts 2, 5, and 7, our first design win in District 3, a Districtwide Utility Coordination award in District 4, and ongoing design work in District 6 and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise through KEITH Access contracts.

The delivery of several meaningful KEITH Play projects including DC Alexander Park, Huizenga Park and the Surfside Memorial.

These projects reflect our commitment to thoughtful design, technical excellence, and community-focused solutions. Beyond our work, KEITH has participated in industry events and supported over a dozen community initiatives with hundreds of service hours and funds raised.

We’re proud of our progress and grateful for the trust our clients place in us. As we close out the year, we remain committed to innovation, integrity, and purpose — always skating toward where the puck is going in 2026.

Project Spotlight

OCTOBER 2025, ISSUE 15

BOMBARDIER AIRCRAFT SERVICE CENTER Opa Locka, Florida KEITH is delivering professional services for the Bombardier Aircraft Service Center located on approximately 31.93 acres of leased property at the eastern side of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF). The site is bordered by existing taxilanes "P" and "B" on the north, west, and south sides, and by NW 37th Court to the east. The development includes a 5.71-acre area for hangars and offices, along with a parking lot offering 226 spaces. Additionally, an 11.52-acre apron will support aircraft operations, and the design accommodates a future 1.34-acre hangar expansion, bringing the total building area to 7.05 acres. Originally planned for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), the project was relocated to OPF at the owner's discretion.

As the Engineer of Record, KEITH is responsible for survey, planning, and civil engineering services, including site plan development, water and sewer systems, paving for both airside and landside areas, and specialized infrastructure such as Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) storage and an airside pollution prevention system. The team is also modifying the airport’s Master Drainage Plan and updating the OPF Watershed 4 ICPR model to reflect the proposed improvements. The paving and drainage systems are designed to contain AFFF runoff in the event of a fire, and all components—grit chambers, pipes, and oil/water separators—are sized to meet Miami-Dade Aviation Division (MDAD) standards. The airside apron is being engineered using FAARFIELD to accommodate aircraft exceeding 100,000 pounds, in compliance with FAA requirements.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENGINEER: WHAT SKILLS WILL DEFINE THE FUTURE? Written by: Alex Lazowick, PE, PMP, ENV SP CEO/President Civil engineering has always been about solving problems, how to move people, manage water, build safely, and shape the spaces we inhabit. But the problems are changing, and so are the engineers who solve them.

At KEITH, we believe the next generation of civil engineers will be defined not just by their technical expertise, but by their ability to think holistically, collaborate across disciplines, and design with purpose. The future demands more than precision, it demands vision.

Digital Fluency and the Rise of Intelligent Infrastructure Civil engineering is undergoing a digital transformation. Today’s engineers must be fluent in technologies beyond traditional CAD—tools like BIM, GIS, LiDAR, and real-time analytics are now essential. The next evolution is intelligent infrastructure: systems that can sense, respond, and adapt to changing conditions.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we plan, design, and maintain infrastructure. From predictive traffic modeling to automated site analysis, AI empowers engineers to make smarter, faster decisions. Digital fluency isn’t just about tools; it’s about integrating data across the entire project lifecycle to ensure seamless collaboration from design to operations.

Resilience as a Design Philosophy Resilience is no longer optional, it’s essential. Engineers today must design systems that can withstand extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and shifting population patterns. But true resilience goes beyond durability; it’s about flexibility, redundancy, and foresight.

At KEITH, we design infrastructure that adapts and evolves. From stormwater systems to transportation networks and public spaces, our work anticipates change and supports communities through disruption. Resilience is not just a feature—it’s a philosophy embedded in everything we build.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Interdisciplinary Collaboration and the Power of Placemaking The most impactful projects are built through collaboration. Civil engineers today work alongside architects, planners, ecologists, and technologists to create spaces that are not only functional, but meaningful.

Placemaking is central to this approach. Engineers now help shape experiences like designing walkable downtowns, waterfront parks, and transit-oriented developments that connect people to place. It’s about empathy, creativity, and context. At KEITH, we believe the next generation of engineers will be connectors that bridge disciplines and communities to create places that inspire.

Communication, Leadership, and Lifelong Learning

COMMUNICATION

LEADERSHIP

Engineers must translate complex ideas into clear, compelling stories— whether presenting to stakeholders, engaging the public, or leading diverse LIFE LONG teams.

Modern leadership is about initiative, empathy, and guiding others through uncertainty.

Tomorrow’s engineers will lead by listening, learning, and lifting others.

LEARNING

With constant change in technology and society, continuous learning is key.

Engineers who embrace growth will shape the future.

Shaping the Future The future of civil engineering is about more than what we build; it’s about how we think, connect, and lead.

At KEITH, we’re proud to support a new generation of engineers who combine technical expertise with vision, collaboration, and purpose.

Whether you're a student exploring the field, a professional seeking your next challenge, or a community partner ready to collaborate, KEITH invites you to help shape a resilient and innovative tomorrow. Together, we’re building infrastructure that makes a lasting impact.
