概要

Engineering Legends is a podcast powered by the Western Society of Engineers, celebrating the visionaries who have shaped—and are shaping—the world we live in. Hosted by veteran engineer Chris Burke, the show dives into the often-overlooked stories behind the infrastructure we rely on every day.


From the clean water that flows from our faucets to the towering bridges that connect our cities, the innovations that define modern urban life didn't happen by accident—they were the result of groundbreaking ideas, massive planning efforts, and fearless execution.

Each episode features conversations with the most influential minds in engineering and infrastructure: legendary figures whose work has stood the test of time, and modern pioneers who are building the future.

Engineering Legends is a tribute to the people behind the progress.

    In this episode of Engineering Legends, host Chris Burke talks with Dick Lanyon, longtime leader at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and historian of Chicago’s water infrastructure. Dick shares the story behind the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, the bold engineering project that reversed the river and helped save the city from a public health crisis. He reflects on the political battles, engineering challenges, and lasting innovations that shaped the system we rely on today. The conversation also looks ahead to modern water management issues, including the future of the Chicago Area Waterway System.
