- 11/19/2009—MARCOR Demo Project Alters Philadelphia Skyline
- The historic Pennsylvania Railroad smokestack in West Philadelphia, over 300 feet tall, imploded in less than a minute early on a clear Sunday morning.

- 10/13/2009—PCB-Containing Caulk: A Widely Overlooked Hazard
- Litigation and new information from the EPA are generating increased public concern about the presence of PCBs in caulk that was widely used from the 1950s through 1977, when it was banned in the U.S. The hazardous caulk is still present in many buildings that were constructed or renovated during this time period. Over time, the deteriorating caulk may release PCBs at hazardous concentrations. Exposure to this likely carcinogen disproportionately affects children, so schools and daycare centers are of particular concern. Affected facilities may also include apartment complexes, medical buildings, military housing, and other public institutions.

The program incorporates measurable standards that exceed regulatory requirements and aim at best practices in the industry. Official safety statistics confirm the success of this ongoing, quality-minded program.
