Caterpillar Inc. has acquired Tangent Energy Solutions, a U.S.-based energy-as-a-service (EaaS) company, marking a significant strategic move in the industrial energy management sector. This acquisition reflects a broader industry trend where major manufacturers are integrating energy efficiency and grid optimization capabilities directly into their service offerings. For professionals working in building construction and facility management,

Contractors pursuing federally funded infrastructure work must navigate a complex web of wage and labor standards, chief among them the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA). With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) channeling unprecedented funding into roads, bridges, water systems, and energy projects, the overwhelming majority of these investments fall under DBA protections. Understanding how to comply is

Heavy highway contractors face a persistent challenge: winning competitive bids while maintaining healthy profit margins across complex projects. Managing estimating, field operations, equipment maintenance, and resource scheduling through disconnected spreadsheets, whiteboards, and paper logs creates information silos that drive up costs and slow decision-making. Contractors are discovering that a unified software platform connecting these workflows
