“My biggest motivation is using my unique profes­sional background to develop projects that serve all building occupants and stake­hold­ers, including those who must maintain the built environment,” says Bob Cheval, trans­porta­tion expert. “In my profes­sional opinion, the ‘greenest’ design is the design that can be maintained with the least amount of effort for the longest time. A structure that can last generations has a smaller ecological footprint than a structure that only lasts 20 years.”

Bob is a licensed architect with nearly two decades of experience and flexes a successful background producing technical content and managing complex, multi­dis­ci­pli­nary teams for major facilities projects. He also has hands-on practical experience with rail and bus facilities operations, maintenance, and equipment. 

“My favorite part of my job is working with contractors to trou­bleshoot and problem-solve in the field. The greatest feeling in the world to me is being part of a multi­dis­ci­pli­nary team and contribut­ing to a project that is built,” he says. 

“Each new project is an opportunity to utilize new tech­nolo­gies, theories of orga­ni­za­tion, or methods of construc­tion that enrich my profes­sional experience and knowledge base,” Bob says. As facilities look to modernize and comply with new and ever-evolving regulations, his knowledge of standards and expertise in developing long-term, sustainable solutions are critical.
