May 2023
Eatontown, NJ — Andy Raichle, P.E., Vice President, Matrix New World Engineering (Matrix), was recently a panelist for NJ Alliance for Action with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Raichle provided the audience with valuable insight regarding the opportunities and challenges associated with supporting the Corps’ ambitious programs, focusing on the A/E industry’s talent resource challenges and the need to promote women’s participation in STEM fields to solve a pending personnel crisis in the technical and construction industries. His concerns were echoed by the panel, including those of organized labor who recognized a similar concern among construction workers.
The New Jersey Alliance for Action is a non-profit association that represents thousands of business, labor, government, utility, education, professional and other New Jersey leaders. Their goal is to improve New Jersey’s economy through the promotion of environmentally friendly capital construction and infrastructure investment.
The panel’s discussion focused on stormwater and flood resiliency projects, new construction technologies and how this will affect future construction projects, planning that are being rolled out in New York and Philadelphia.
Raichle currently manages comprehensive teams of engineers, ecologists, and surveyors.
“The Corps’ construction program for the next decade in New Jersey and New York is unprecedented in size and complexity. As highlighted by the Commanders of the Corps’ New York and Philadelphia Districts, the challenge is great and can only be accomplished by cooperation and collaboration with the private sector. Matrix looks forward to being part of the solution.”
According to Jayne Warne, PE, President, “Andy is an extraordinarily talented leader and an expert in coastal and marine engineering. His participation in public panels and outward reaching events offers the public a window into the talented and dedicated people that make Matrix special. I am grateful to the Alliance for Action for the opportunity to share our expertise, and look forward to continuing our support of the Alliance and the United States Army Corp of Engineers in the future.”
