Connecting leadership to complex project needs. 25 August 2026 Three appointments bring technical depth and market perspective to evolving client and community needs Overview. Walter P Moore has appointed Lee Anne Dixon, PE, PTOE; Rebekah Campbell, PE, CFM; and Rucker Simon, PE, to expanded leadership roles. Together, they bring experience across transportation, water, and site development to help clients address decisions increasingly shaped by growth, resilience, and the connections among infrastructure systems. As Director of Traffic/ITS/Planning, Dixon will guide the practice firmwide, helping clients connect transportation planning with traffic operations, safety, and technology. Her experience as a traffic engineer in the Houston region and her understanding of the agencies and stakeholders influencing transportation decisions provide a strong foundation for addressing both immediate operational needs and long-term mobility priorities. Her external leadership includes service on the ACEC Houston Board of Directors. Campbell will lead the practice across Houston, The Woodlands, and Dallas-Fort Worth as the Managing Director of Water Resources. Her experience in watershed planning, urban stormwater systems, flood modeling, and resilience helps clients better understand risk and translate complex data into practical infrastructure strategies. Through her technical work and industry leadership, including service as president of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers Greater Houston Chapter, Campbell advocates for watershed-scale thinking that supports clearer decisions, stronger coordination across jurisdictional boundaries, and more proactive approaches to protecting communities from flooding. As Managing Director of Houston Civil, Simon leads multidisciplinary teams in delivering sustainable site development, stormwater infrastructure, and low-impact development solutions. His expertise helps clients connect water systems with broader planning, design, and resiliency objectives, creating infrastructure that performs today while supporting future demands. An author, speaker, and advocate for water stewardship, Simon promotes integrated, data-informed approaches that respond to changing conditions and strengthen long-term outcomes for communities.

Storm Shelter precaution workshop offered online. Posted Wednesday, August 5, 2026 12:00 am Workshop to address high-wind events in communities and public spaces Finding a safe place to wait out dangerous weather is difficult in places susceptible to high-wind events and at times when outdoor recreation exposes more people to peril. These concerns will be addressed at an online workshop from 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 12. Shelby Doyle, associate professor of architecture at Iowa State University's College of Design, will present three different models of 3D-printed concrete community storm shelters, and participants will give feedback on changes they would make to the designs so they could be more multifunctional in their communities. Doyle is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, ICON Build and the Walter P. Moore engineering firm on a Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities scoping grant to design printable structures that can withstand winds of up to 250 mph. Through a grant from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Doyle and her Extension partner, Abbie Gaffey, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach community and economic development field specialist, have provided in-person workshops in the flood-impacted communities of Spencer and Rock Valley in northwest Iowa. "This grant has been an important opportunity to explore how we can translate innovative on-campus design research into resilient public infrastructure for Iowa's communities," Doyle said. In the Aug. 12 online workshop, Doyle and Gaffey engage with communities that have other risk areas, such as youth summer camps, outdoor sports complexes or large RV parks. "Communities need to be thinking about how the need for storm shelters has changed over time with different kinds of storms, more homes being built without basements and community amenities that are more than FEMA's recommended nine minutes away from safe storm shelters," Gaffey said. The online workshop is free, but advance registration is encouraged. For information, contact Abbie Gaffey, community and economic development field specialist, at [email protected].
