We are delighted to announce that HDR Inc. has joined the Chicago Propeller Club as a bronze-level sponsor.
The latest partner to join our expanding chapter, HDR has forged a global reputation in design, engineering, and environmental consultancy. As seen in Chicago and across the Great Lakes region, they strive to deliver infrastructure that connects communities – from inland waterways to bridges, harbours, and transportation networks.
One of HDR’s longest-established offices is right here in Chicago, and those who live and work in our region will have seen their work first-hand, including major transportation and water infrastructure projects.
A notable local project has been design work on the Rush University Medical Center, demonstrating the same principles of innovation and sustainability they bring to coastal and river engineering worldwide.
HDR’s experience in port planning, coastal resilience, and sustainable infrastructure aligns perfectly with the Chicago Propeller Club’s drive to connect and strengthen the Great Lakes maritime community. Their understanding of waterborne logistics and advanced engineering makes them a vital partner as our region and beyond strive to adapt to environmental change while supporting safe, efficient transport networks.
We look forward to HDR’s involvement in upcoming Chicago Propeller Club events and initiatives, as we continue to promote collaboration, innovation, and growth within the maritime industry. Updates on future activities will be shared both here and on our LinkedIn profile.
