Top Benefits of Outsourcing a Cost Estimating Service for Your Business

In today's competitive business landscape, accurate cost estimation plays a crucial role in ensuring project success. Whether in construction, manufacturing, engineering, or other industries, having precise cost projections helps companies manage budgets, reduce risks, and improve profitability. While some businesses prefer in-house estimating teams, many are now outsourcing cost estimating services to take advantage of specialized expertise, advanced technology, and cost efficiency. This article explores the top benefits of outsourcing a cost estimating service and why it is a smart decision for businesses.

What Is a Cost Estimating Service?

A cost estimating service provides detailed financial assessments of a project by analyzing material costs, labor expenses, equipment, overhead, and other factors. These services help businesses prepare accurate budgets, bid competitively, and avoid financial risks. By outsourcing cost estimating services, companies gain access to skilled professionals who specialize in delivering precise cost assessments.

Top Benefits of Outsourcing a Cost Estimating Service

Access to Expertise and Industry Knowledge One of the main advantages of outsourcing a cost estimating service is gaining access to experienced professionals who specialize in project estimation. These experts have deep industry knowledge, understand market trends, and are familiar with the latest cost estimation methodologies. Their expertise ensures accurate projections, reducing the likelihood of miscalculations that could lead to financial setbacks.

Cost Savings and Reduced Overhead Expenses Maintaining an in-house estimating team can be expensive, requiring salaries, training, software, and office space. Outsourcing a cost estimating service eliminates these overhead costs, allowing businesses to pay only for the services they need. This approach is especially beneficial for small to mid-sized companies that may not have the resources to maintain a full-time estimating team.

Improved Accuracy and Reduced Financial Risks Errors in cost estimation can lead to budget overruns, project delays, and financial losses. A professional cost estimating service uses advanced tools and proven techniques to ensure accuracy. By outsourcing, businesses reduce the risk of miscalculations, ensuring their projects stay on budget and on schedule.

Access to Advanced Estimating Software and Tools Professional cost estimating services utilize sophisticated software to generate accurate estimates. These tools incorporate real-time pricing data, historical cost databases, and AI-driven analytics to improve precision. Instead of investing in expensive software and training employees to use it, businesses can outsource cost estimating services and leverage these advanced technologies at a fraction of the cost.

Faster Turnaround Times and Increased Efficiency Outsourcing a cost estimating service speeds up the estimation process, allowing businesses to prepare budgets and submit bids faster. External estimation firms have dedicated teams working exclusively on cost calculations, ensuring timely delivery of accurate estimates. This efficiency helps businesses meet tight deadlines and stay ahead of competitors.

Scalability and Flexibility for Different Projects Businesses often work on projects of varying sizes and complexities. Hiring a full-time estimating team may not be cost-effective for companies that experience fluctuating workloads. By outsourcing a cost estimating service, businesses can scale their estimation needs up or down based on project demands. This flexibility allows them to manage costs effectively while maintaining high-quality estimates.

Enhanced Competitive Bidding Accurate cost estimation is crucial for competitive bidding. An overestimated bid may cause a business to lose a project, while an underestimated bid could result in financial losses. A cost estimating service ensures that businesses submit precise, well-calculated bids, increasing their chances of securing contracts while maintaining profitability.

Focus on Core Business Activities Outsourcing a cost estimating service allows businesses to focus on their core operations rather than diverting time and resources toward cost calculations. Project managers, engineers, and business owners can dedicate their efforts to project execution, client management, and strategic planning, leading to overall business growth.

Compliance with Industry Standards and Regulations Professional cost estimating services ensure compliance with industry standards, building codes, and regulatory requirements. This is particularly important in industries like construction, where legal compliance is essential to avoid fines and project delays. Outsourced estimating firms stay updated with the latest regulations, ensuring accurate cost assessments that align with industry guidelines.

Better Risk Management and Contingency Planning A cost estimating service helps businesses identify potential financial risks and plan for contingencies. Professional estimators conduct risk assessments, considering factors like price fluctuations, labor shortages, and unexpected expenses. This proactive approach enables businesses to allocate contingency funds and prevent financial disruptions.

Higher Accuracy in Multi-Disciplinary Projects Large-scale projects often involve multiple disciplines, such as civil engineering, electrical work, and mechanical installations. A cost estimating service has expertise across different industries, ensuring comprehensive estimates that consider all aspects of a project. This holistic approach minimizes cost discrepancies and improves overall budget accuracy.

Increased Client and Investor Confidence Accurate cost estimation builds trust with clients, stakeholders, and investors. When businesses provide well-documented cost estimates, they demonstrate professionalism and financial reliability. Clients are more likely to approve projects, while investors gain confidence in the company’s ability to manage finances effectively.

Real-World Application of Outsourced Cost Estimating Services

Consider a construction company that frequently bids on large-scale projects. Maintaining an in-house estimating team would be expensive and require continuous training to stay updated with industry trends. By outsourcing a cost estimating service, the company receives precise cost assessments, meets bid deadlines efficiently, and increases its chances of winning contracts—all while reducing operational costs.

Similarly, a manufacturing firm planning to expand its production facilities can benefit from outsourced cost estimating services. With professional estimators handling the financial projections, the company can make informed investment decisions and allocate resources efficiently.

Conclusion

Outsourcing a cost estimating service is a strategic move for businesses looking to improve budgeting accuracy, reduce costs, and enhance project efficiency.

As President Donald Trump’s administration orders mass layoffs and cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, local meteorologists and influencer storm chasers — including some weather experts who previously claimed to avoid politics or expressed right-leaning views — are speaking out in support of federal employees and the essential information provided by the agency. 

Trump’s funding cuts and layoffs will hobble NOAA and the National Weather Service, potentially restricting access to a vital public good that costs taxpayers very little

NOAA and its subsidiaries, including the National Weather Service, employ thousands of scientists, engineers, and other experts to conduct vital research that is shared with the public. NOAA’s products and services range “from daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring to fisheries management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce.” The NWS estimates that the critical information it provides costs just $4 per U.S. resident per year. [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, accessed 3/14/25; The New York Times, 2/8/25]  

Project 2025 — the right-wing plan for a second Trump administration organized by The Heritage Foundation with over 100 conservative partner organizations — called for NOAA to be “broken up and downsized” and urged the National Weather Service to “fully commercialize its forecasting operations.” Weather experts across the country have expressed alarm at Project 2025’s plans to dismantle NOAA under the new administration. Project 2025 architect Russell Vought, who now heads Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, has promised, “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected.” [Media Matters, 5/31/24, 9/27/24, 2/28/25; ProPublica, 10/28/24]  

Starting on February 27, the Trump administration has laid off more than 800 NOAA employees, plus another 500 who resigned if the agency promised to pay them through September. According to The New York Times, “The two rounds of departures together represent about 10 percent of NOAA’s roughly 13,000 employees.” On March 12, NOAA announced in an email to its staffers that the agency would be laying off another 1,029 employees, or roughly 10% of the agency’s remaining workforce. [The New York Times, 2/27/25, 2/28/25]  

The Associated Press: “After this upcoming round of cuts, NOAA will have eliminated about one out of four jobs since President Donald Trump took office in January.” “This is not government efficiency,” said former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad. “It is the first steps toward eradication. There is no way to make these kinds of cuts without removing or strongly compromising mission capabilities.” [The Associated Press, 3/12/25]  

The NWS’ National Hurricane Center has made great strides in tracking dangerous storms, but Trump’s layoffs are threatening that progress. A February preview of a report from the National Hurricane Center concluded that for the first time, the center managed to “explicitly forecast a system that was not yet a tropical cyclone (pre-Helene potential tropical cyclone) to become a 100-kt (115 mph) major hurricane within 72 hours.” However, experts fear that funding cuts and layoffs at NOAA’s Office of Aircraft Operations will impact the ability of the agency’s specialized “Hurricane Hunters” to collect data used for tracking and predicting destructive storms. [National Hurricane Center, 2/24/25; Yale Climate Connections, 3/6/25]

Meteorologists and storm chasers of all political persuasions issue dire warnings that the Project 2025/DOGE-inspired cuts to the NOAA and the NWS threaten public safety and forecast accuracy.

January 1, 2025

Heather Cox Richardson

Jan 01, 2025

Twenty-five years ago today, Americans—along with the rest of the world—woke up to a new century date…and to the discovery that the years of work computer programmers had put in to stop what was known as the Y2K bug from crashing airplanes, shutting down hospitals, and making payments systems inoperable had worked.

When programmers began their work with the first wave of commercial computers in the 1960s, computer memory was expensive, so they used a two-digit format for dates, using just the years in the century, rather than using the four digits that would be necessary otherwise—78, for example, rather than 1978. This worked fine until the century changed.

As the turn of the twenty-first century approached, computer engineers realized that computers might interpret 00 as 1900 rather than 2000 or fail to recognize it at all, causing programs that, by then, handled routine maintenance, safety checks, transportation, finance, and so on, to fail. According to scholar Olivia Bosch, governments recognized that government services, as well as security and the law, could be disrupted by the glitch. They knew that the public must have confidence that world systems would survive, and the United States and the United Kingdom, where at the time computers were more widespread than they were elsewhere, emphasized transparency about how governments, companies, and programmers were handling the problem. They backed the World Bank and the United Nations in their work to help developing countries fix their own Y2K issues.

Meanwhile, people who were already worried about the coming of a new century began to fear that the end of the world was coming. In late 1996, evangelical Christian believers saw the Virgin Mary in the windows of an office building near Clearwater, Florida, and some thought the image was a sign of the end times. Leaders fed that fear, some appearing to hope that the secular government they hated would fall, some appreciating the profit to be made from their warnings. Popular televangelist Pat Robertson ran headlines like “The Year 2000—A Date with Disaster.”

Fears reached far beyond the evangelical community. Newspaper tabloids ran headlines that convinced some worried people to start stockpiling food and preparing for societal collapse: “JANUARY 1, 2000: THE DAY THE EARTH WILL STAND STILL!” one tabloid read. “ALL BANKS WILL FAIL. FOOD SUPPLIES WILL BE DEPLETED! ELECTRICITY WILL BE CUT OFF! THE STOCK MARKET WILL CRASH! VEHICLES USING COMPUTER CHIPS WILL STOP DEAD! TELEPHONES WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION! DOMINO EFFECT WILL CAUSE A WORLDWIDE DEPRESSION!”

In fact, the fix turned out to be simple—programmers developed updated systems that recognized a four-digit date—but implementing it meant that hardware and software had to be adjusted to become Y2K compliant, and they had to be ready by midnight on December 31, 1999. Technology teams worked for years, racing to meet the deadline at a cost that researchers estimate to have been $300–$600 billion. The head of the Federal Aviation Administration at the time, Jane Garvey, told NPR in 1998 that the air traffic control system had twenty-three million lines of code that had to be fixed.

President Bill Clinton’s 1999 budget had described fixing the Y2K bug as “the single largest technology management challenge in history,” but on December 14 of that year, President Bill Clinton announced that according to the Office of Management and Budget, 99.9% of the government's mission-critical computer systems were ready for 2000. In May 1997, only 21% had been ready. “[W]e have done our job, we have met the deadline, and we have done it well below cost projections,” Clinton said.

Indeed, the fix worked. Despite the dark warnings, the programmers had done their job, and the clocks changed with little disruption. “2000,” the Wilmington, Delaware, News Journal’s headline read. “World rejoices; Y2K bug is quiet.”

Crises get a lot of attention, but the quiet work of fixing them gets less. And if that work ends the crisis that got all the attention, the success itself makes people think there was never a crisis to begin with. In the aftermath of the Y2K problem, people began to treat it as a joke, but as technology forecaster Paul Saffo emphasized, “The Y2K crisis didn’t happen precisely because people started preparing for it over a decade in advance. And the general public who was busy stocking up on supplies and stuff just didn’t have a sense that the programmers were on the job.”

As of midnight last night, a five-year contract ended that had allowed Russia to export natural gas to Europe by way of a pipeline running through Ukraine. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky warned that he would not renew the contract, which permitted more than $6 billion a year to flow to cash-strapped Russia. European governments said they had plenty of time to prepare and that they have found alternative sources to meet the needs of their people.

Today, President Joe Biden issued a statement marking the day that the new, lower cap on seniors’ out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs goes into effect. The Inflation Reduction Act, negotiated over two years and passed with Democratic votes alone, enabled the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over drug prices and phased in out-of-pocket spending caps for seniors. In 2024 the cap was $3,400; it’s now $2,000.

As we launch ourselves into 2025, one of the key issues of the new year will be whether Americans care that the U.S. government does the hard, slow work of governing and, if it does, who benefits.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

Sheldon Auto Wrecking is a local institution in southwestern Wisconsin’s Vernon County. It’s tucked in a lush valley just downstream of a 50-foot earthen dam, locally known as “Maple Dale.” 

The salvage yard, which buys used vehicles and farm machinery in this rural area to sell for parts, has been in business for nearly 70 years. For most of those years, the dam—less than a half-mile up the road—has protected its yard of hundreds of old cars and broken-down equipment from frequent and sometimes severe flooding in the area.

The dam “was put in place for a reason,” said owner Greg Sheldon.

But it might soon go away. 

Maple Dale is one of thousands of dams constructed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, beginning in the mid-20th century, for the purposes of flood control. 

In 2018, five similar dams in the region failed during a massive rainstorm that caused property damage in the tens of millions of dollars. A study determined that several other dams in the watersheds hit hardest by the flood, including Maple Dale, were also vulnerable to failure but would be too expensive to replace. 

As a result, local officials are voting on whether to dismantle the dams by cutting large notches in them, allowing the water to flow again, in a process called decommissioning. Experts say it could be the most dams ever decommissioned in a single county in the U.S. 

And it could be a harbinger for other communities.

Although the county may be the first to take on a project of this size, it’s unlikely to be the last. Dams across the country are aging, and also facing pressures from urban sprawl and intensifying floods wrought by climate change. The price tag to fix what’s broken, though, is estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars, meaning dam owners could face hard questions about what to do with them. 

In Viroqua, it’s also leaving the people who own property below the dams uneasy about what comes next—including Sheldon.

“To come along and just rip a big hole out and let the water run is a mistake,” he said.

Removal Plan Controversial

The southwest Wisconsin dams are among nearly 12,000 that have been built under the USDA’s Watershed Programs. Generally smaller and set in rural agricultural areas, they’re mostly clustered from the center of the country eastward. Oklahoma has the most, followed by Texas, Iowa and Missouri. 

The idea for the watershed program dams arose during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Because there was little vegetation left on the landscape to soak up rain when it fell, there were several severe floods during that time, prompting federal agencies to look for a way to control the water. 

To get the dams built, the Natural Resources Conservation Service entered into a contract with a local sponsor, such as a county. NRCS covered all the construction costs and helped the sponsor with inspections and repairs. In return, the sponsor maintained the dam for a certain number of years—under most contracts, 50—to ensure taxpayers got their money’s worth out of the project. 

Since many of the dams were built in the 1960s and 1970s, said Steve Becker, Wisconsin’s state conservation engineer for NRCS, their contracts are now up. 

“We pretty much told the counties, ‘You have full autonomy to do whatever you want with those dams,” Becker said. “You can maintain, you can rehab, you can repair. It doesn’t really matter. We’re out.”

Outsourcing BIM in the USA for Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Firms

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries by improving collaboration, reducing errors, and streamlining workflows. However, managing an in-house BIM team requires significant investment in software, infrastructure, and skilled personnel. This has led many firms across the AEC spectrum to consider outsourcing BIM services as a cost-effective and efficient solution.

Why Architectural Firm in USA Should Outsource BIM?

Architectural firms are primarily concerned with design innovation and functionality. While BIM plays a crucial role in project execution, maintaining an in-house team with the necessary expertise can be expensive and time-consuming. By outsourcing Architectural BIM services, architectural firms can focus on conceptual design and client interactions while ensuring that their projects benefit from high-quality BIM modeling and documentation. Outsourcing allows firms to leverage a team of experienced BIM professionals who specialize in using advanced tools like Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, and BIM 360. These experts not only enhance design coordination but also help identify potential conflicts early, improving project accuracy and efficiency.

Commonly outsourced BIM services for architects include 3D BIM modeling, where both conceptual and detailed models are created to aid in design development and visualization. Comprehensive BIM documentation is also provided, including detailed plans, elevations, and sections, which are necessary for securing permits and facilitating construction. Revit family creation services is another key service, where tailored components are developed and standardized for consistency across designs. Clash detection helps identify and resolve conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP elements, ensuring smoother integration of all systems. Lastly, scan to BIM services are offered for renovations and historical preservation projects, converting physical structures into accurate digital models for future planning and management.

Why Engineering Firms in USA Should Outsource BIM?

Engineering firms, whether focusing on structural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing (MEP) systems, require accurate BIM models to validate designs and ensure system integration. Outsourcing BIM allows these firms to concentrate on their core competencies while utilizing specialized BIM teams skilled in compliance, coordination, and clash detection. Outsourcing also facilitates advanced simulations, such as energy analysis and structural integrity assessments, which help engineers optimize their designs, ensure compliance with codes, and minimize rework during the construction phase.

Commonly outsourced BIM services for engineers include structural BIM modeling, where steel, concrete, and wood structures are modeled to validate design integrity and support construction. MEP BIM modeling ensures optimal coordination and efficiency for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. 4D and 5D BIM services integrate construction schedules (4D) and cost estimation (5D), improving planning and execution. Clash detection and resolution help prevent conflicts between systems before construction begins, saving time and money. Additionally, digital twin creation involves developing virtual representations of physical assets, enabling predictive maintenance and enhanced lifecycle.

Why Construction Firms in USA Should Outsource BIM?

Construction firms are under constant pressure to manage project timelines, minimize costs, and ensure safety on-site. Outsourcing BIM services provides these firms with the tools and expertise needed to streamline construction planning, improve coordination, and optimize resource allocation. BIM technologies enable better site logistics, prefabrication, and clash detection, resulting in fewer delays and less material wastage. Furthermore, integrating BIM with 4D scheduling and 5D cost estimation helps construction firms forecast timelines and budgets with higher accuracy.

Commonly outsourced BIM services for construction firms include clash detection and resolution, which helps identify and fix conflicts before construction begins, reducing delays and errors during execution. Quantity take-off and cost estimation using 5D BIM provide detailed material lists and accurate cost projections, aiding budgeting and planning. 4D BIM services optimize construction scheduling and progress tracking through time-based simulations. As-built documentation is also crucial, as BIM models offer precise data for post-construction maintenance and future facility management. Additionally, BIM supports prefabrication and modular construction planning, allowing for offsite fabrication, which reduces waste and enhances the efficiency of the construction process.

Space Station Concepts: Dual Keel

"The new 'Dual Keel' Station was largely based on Lockheed and McDonnell-Douglas designs and its structure was much stiffer and hence easier to stabilize. It would offer additional space for external instruments plus a better microgravity environment than the previous gravity gradient-stabilized 'Power Tower.' The number of crew members was increased to 8 astronauts because scientists were concerned that a crew of six would be too busy with assembly and maintenance tasks and have no time for research. NASA's target date for the launch of the first element was now January 1993 while the initial operational capability had slipped to January 1994 mainly because the Fiscal 1986 budget was reduced from $280 million to just $200 million.

"McDonnell-Douglas illustration of the 'Dual Keel crew modules.

This McDonnell-Douglas concept drawing depicts a robotic arm controlled by an astronaut. The arm is being used to maneuver a new addition to the space station into place. The robotic arm was to have been essential to building the space station in orbit.”

11 Shuttle flights would be required for initial assembly. Officially, the estimated cost of the Station had only increased by $400 million but there were concerns that NASA was once again hiding the true cost of the larger, more complex 'Dual Keel' design.

“Dual Keel space station – Initial Operational Capability (IOC) Configuration, 11-15-85”

NASA struggled to define a 'Dual Keel' design that met all the various cost, engineering, safety, launch and user requirements. By the time Phase B1 ended in March 1986, the size of the truss structure elements had been increased from 3 x 3 meters to 5 x 5 meters for additional strength and stiffness. Another early 1986 modification involved the power system, which was upgraded to 87.5 kW. By the end of Phase B1 in March 1986, NASA had settled for a hybrid system consisting of 37.5 kW photovoltaic arrays and 50 kW solar thermodynamic generators. The number of American crew modules was also reduced from four to two while European and Japanese laboratories were incorporated in the design for the first time. The habitable volume remained the same, though, since the length of the US modules was increased to 13.3 meters. NASA Space Station Office submitted its recommended final baseline in May 1986 as Phase C/D started. The number of instrument mounting ports was reduced to five, down from an earlier projection of nine. One of the two bays for satellite servicing was also deleted.

According to the May '86 Space Station assembly sequence, the first element would be launched in January 1993. The Station would support man-tended operations after the sixth Shuttle assembly mission in August 1993 and be ready for permanent occupation after the ninth mission in January 1994. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) would be achieved after 21 flights -- twice as many as the 1984 estimate.

By the time of the 'Dual Keel' Space Station's final flight sequence overview in October 1986 NASA had to insert an additional eight Shuttle flights into the manifest. By this time, increased complexity and Shuttle payload capability reductions had increased the required number of assembly flights to more than 30 for an Initial Operating Capability (IOC) vs. 8-10 in 1984.

"The design of the Space Station has undergone the first major configuration change prior to the start of Phase B. The artist’s concept here depicts the updated Dual Keel method which retains many of the basic elements of the previously considered Power Tower concept. The primary difference is the move to favor two vertical booms rather than the Power Tower’s single boom. The dual booms provide additional framework for the attachment of other structures. Pressurized modules have also been moved from the lower area of the Power Tower concept to the Center of gravity. This has been done, NASA officials say, to meet the needs of future space station customers for the best microgravity environment attainable. More refinements are expected in the design as the program works toward the Systems Requirements Review in March of 1986."

NASA's new Space Station design was criticized in a widely publicized astronaut office briefing by Shuttle astronaut Gordon Fullerton. The Dual Keel design was found to provide poor access for maintenance, visibility from habitable areas was obstructed, there was no provision for internal vehicle 'hands on' access to EVA equipment. No crew escape vehicle had been added although a small fleet plus lower-than-hoped-for flight rates means astronauts could not be rescued as easily by the Shuttle. The Canadian manipulator was regarded as insufficient for building and maintaining such a complex Station. Fullerton also criticized excessive EVA 'spacewalk' requirements, including a 'long and complex' assembly sequence. 'Basic structure, wire runs, and plumbing are not easily designed for replacement / repair. EVA crew time even for planned maintenance was excessive. Correction of design errors may not be possible; unplanned failures may not be fixable at all...'

McDonnell-Douglas' redesigned 'Dual Keel' crew modules of this period introduced separate 'node modules' or docking ports which also accommodated many systems that would not have fit inside the original 'Power Tower' crew modules. NASA was still planning to contribute two laboratory modules plus two habitation modules in late 1985. Gordon Fullerton and other observers felt the Station's habitable volume was too limited when the number of US modules was reduced to one lab plus one habitation module. There would be no room for a second shower, commode or 'safe haven' emergency provisions. A Boeing longer 13.3-meter module was introduced in early 1986.

"Display model of Dual Keel Space Station concept (1986); boxy rectangular truss structure with attached modules and extended solar array wings. 1:100 Scale."

The Space Station was briefly suspended by a major row in the summer of 1986 when NASA tried to reassign some habitation module responsibilities from the Johnson Space Center to the Marshall Space Flight Center. A compromise was reached in September 1986, but it was yet another indication of the Station's Byzantine management structure and turf battles between NASA centers. But Congress still approved the project's $420-million Fiscal 1987 budget while imposing a number of restriction: power levels of at least 37.5 kW, fully outfit the microgravity lab by the sixth assembly flight, attach useful science payload by the third flight, launch all US elements before the foreign modules and restrict ESA's Columbus module to life sciences. The congressional requirements would essentially have forced NASA to change the Station along the lines of a new proposal which then, surprisingly, emerged from JSC. NASA had previously testified in Congress that no Station funds were being spent on alternative design studies. Using funding earmarked for alternate assembly sequence research, the Johnson Space Center nonetheless ordered its main contractors (Rockwell and McDonnell-Douglas) to examine a smaller, more compact configuration while keeping NASA headquarters in the dark about it... This caused additional confusion about who was really in charge of the project: NASA headquarters or Johnson.

NASA's first detailed cost assessment in February 1987 revealed the 'Dual Keel' Space Station would cost at least $14.5 billion in 1984 dollars, or $21 billion in current-year dollars. This caused a political uproar in Congress, where many politicians had started to express doubt about the project. However, NASA and Reagan Administration officials reached a compromise in March 1987 which allowed the agency to proceed with a cheaper $12.2-billion Phase One Station. This design initially omitted the $3.4-billion 'Dual Keel' structure and half of the power generators. It was dubbed 'Freedom'.

Optimizing Business Operations with Advanced Machine Learning Services

Machine learning has gained popularity in recent years thanks to the adoption of the technology. On the other hand, traditional machine learning necessitates managing data pipelines, robust server maintenance, and the creation of a model for machine learning from scratch, among other technical infrastructure management tasks. Many of these processes are automated by machine learning service which enables businesses to use a platform much more quickly.

What do you understand of Machine learning?

Deep learning and neural networks applied to data are examples of machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence focused on data-driven learning. It begins with a dataset and gains the ability to extract relevant data from it.

Machine learning technologies facilitate computer vision, speech recognition, face identification, predictive analytics, and more. They also make regression more accurate.

For what purpose is it used?

Many use cases, such as churn avoidance and support ticket categorization make use of MLaaS. The vital thing about MLaaS is it makes it possible to delegate machine learning's laborious tasks. This implies that you won't need to install software, configure servers, maintain infrastructure, and other related tasks. All you have to do is choose the column to be predicted, connect the pertinent training data, and let the software do its magic.  

Natural Language Interpretation

By examining social media postings and the tone of consumer reviews, natural language processing aids businesses in better understanding their clientele. the ml services enable them to make more informed choices about selling their goods and services, including providing automated help or highlighting superior substitutes. Machine learning can categorize incoming customer inquiries into distinct groups, enabling businesses to allocate their resources and time.

Predicting

Another use of machine learning is forecasting, which allows businesses to project future occurrences based on existing data. For example, businesses that need to estimate the costs of their goods, services, or clients might utilize MLaaS for cost modelling.

Data Investigation

Investigating variables, examining correlations between variables, and displaying associations are all part of data exploration. Businesses may generate informed suggestions and contextualize vital data using machine learning.

Data Inconsistency

Another crucial component of machine learning is anomaly detection, which finds anomalous occurrences like fraud. This technology is especially helpful for businesses that lack the means or know-how to create their own systems for identifying anomalies.

Examining And Comprehending Datasets

Machine learning provides an alternative to manual dataset searching and comprehension by converting text searches into SQL queries using algorithms trained on millions of samples. Regression analysis use to determine the correlations between variables, such as those affecting sales and customer satisfaction from various product attributes or advertising channels.

Recognition Of Images

One area of machine learning that is very useful for mobile apps, security, and healthcare is image recognition. Businesses utilize recommendation engines to promote music or goods to consumers. While some companies have used picture recognition to create lucrative mobile applications.

Your understanding of AI will drastically shift. They used to believe that AI was only beyond the financial reach of large corporations. However, thanks to services anyone may now use this technology.

As climate change intensifies, extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall, are becoming more severe.

A raging flood pulled a family's home of more than 50 years into the Blue Earth River in southern Minnesota this week, as a community watched in horror.

The river’s water flow tripled in three days after 11 to 18 inches of rain fell in just over a week. The swollen river carved a new pathway around the Rapidan Dam, threatening to collapse the dam and the nearby store where the Bruska family had served pies and shakes for decades.

Similar intense rains have pummeled much of the north-central U.S. in June, causing devastating floods across the region, with major flooding underway on the Big and Little Sioux rivers, the Des Moines River, and the Minnesota River.

Such events are occurring with increasing frequency across the nation. Rain isn’t just falling; it’s breaking records, cascading at intense rates due to the warming climate.

While flooding has always occurred along rivers and streams, today’s warmer air allows the atmosphere to hold more water, with storms often supercharged by moisture from warming oceans. As communities experience more frequent flooding, the pressure to prepare for and adapt to these events is growing.

That pressure is evident in two recent developments: a groundbreaking climate action law in Vermont and a federally commissioned report finding that the government's calculations for maximum potential rainfall are no longer valid due to more intense rainfall driven by climate change.

On June 21 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the National Weather Service reported rain rates of 3-5 inches per hour. The next day, a deluge in South Florida brought rain rates of 4-5 inches, flooding areas of Miami-Dade, where higher sea levels are exacerbating the situation by making it harder for rainwater to drain.

"As demonstrated repeatedly, event after event, climate change is causing wetter and more extreme precipitation," stated Kevin Reed, an associate provost for climate and sustainability programming at Stony Brook University, who specializes in the effects of climate warming on rainfall.

On Friday, U.S. Geological Survey data indicated that over 200 stream gauges across the North Central U.S., including those along the Blue Earth River, were experiencing various stages of flooding, with water levels finally beginning to recede.

Vermont's "great flood" last July, which brought a deluge of 9 inches and caused an estimated $1 billion in damages, prompted state legislators in May to pass new legislation known as the "climate superfund act."

See more:

"After experiencing one of the most catastrophic climate disasters in its history," remarked Elena Mihaly, vice president of the Conservation Law Foundation Vermont, which advocated for the bill, "Vermonters felt acutely vulnerable during that frightening time."

The legislation aims to recover costs from climate disasters by seeking payments from large fossil fuel companies for their extraction and refining activities that have contributed to climate impacts in Vermont since 1995.

According to Mihaly, the state intends to conduct a cost analysis to assess present and future expenses incurred from greenhouse gas emissions produced during extraction and refinement. This initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden currently borne solely by taxpayers.

Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, permitted the climate action bill to become law on May 31 without signing it. The funds collected under this legislation will be designated for climate change adaptation projects.

'Historical Changes in Extreme Rainfall'

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently published a study on rainfall patterns. Sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and mandated by Congress, the study aimed to update the nation's "probable maximum precipitation" estimates in response to climate change.

These estimates, used to determine the maximum possible depth of precipitation within a specific timeframe and location, are crucial for engineering critical infrastructure like dams and nuclear power plants. They help mitigate the risk of severe flooding and ensure that structures can withstand extreme rainfall events.

Weather Forecast For Wyoming:

https://www.behance.net/gallery/196962423/Weather-Forecast-for-Wyoming

The Academies assembled a committee comprising some of the nation's foremost experts on extreme rainfall. These experts, including Reed, collaborated in workshops to discuss the findings.

The committee concluded that "climate change has already led to significant historical shifts in extreme rainfall patterns, with expectations for further substantial changes in the coming decades." Their report includes a comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at enhancing accuracy in precipitation estimates through improved modeling, refined formulas, and integration of additional scientific research.

Climate change is reshaping the calculation of maximum rainfall potential. By integrating advanced observations and a deeper understanding of extreme storms through high-resolution modeling, there is an opportunity to revolutionize traditional methods of estimating rainfall, according to the report. Updated estimates could better reflect the extremes expected in a warming climate and provide critical insights into the associated hazards of extreme rainfall, such as coastal storm surge and compound flooding.

John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas State Climatologist and regents professor at Texas A&M University, noted, "While the original goal of precipitation estimates was to design structures with an almost zero risk of failure, we may have been designing them to have a very low risk of failure but not an impossible one." He added, "A very low risk of failure is less reassuring than no risk at all."

"If you don’t account for climate change, you’re underestimating the risk, not just in the future but even in the present day, because the likelihood of extreme rainfall is increasing almost everywhere," Nielsen-Gammon emphasized. He highlighted that evidence suggests the probability of such events is rising most significantly for the less common occurrences.

https://weatherusa.app/zip-code/weather-71678

"On a global scale, average annual precipitation is projected to increase by about 2% per degree of warming," Nielsen-Gammon explained. "However, the frequency of extreme precipitation events in a given year is rising by 7% or more per degree of warming."

Reed noted that the study recommended integrating future climate change impacts into calculations of extreme precipitation. This approach aims to enhance the resilience of our infrastructure and society against these evolving weather patterns.

According to NOAA's website, the agency anticipates issuing the first updated estimates by 2030, contingent on full funding for the program. Subsequently, the legislation mandates updates to these estimates at least every decade.

Patria Aviation will create industrial base for F-35 service in Finland

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/18/2023 - 16:00 in Military

The Finnish Minister of Defense, Antti Häkkänen, authorized the Finnish Defense Forces to finalize a contract with Patria Aviation Oy to develop service capabilities for F-35 fighters.

This measure, supported by the Government Finance Committee on December 14, 2023, marks a crucial step in improving Finland's defense infrastructure.

The contract focuses on the development of the industrial cooperation capabilities of the F-35 project of the Finnish Air Force. Patria Aviation Oy will provide services that include punctual work for the construction of the industrial cooperation capabilities of the F-35 system, along with machines, equipment, tools and information systems necessary for production. In addition, the contract covers support to reach full production speed.

The contract, which runs from 2023 to 2026, is estimated at a maximum value of 90 million euros, excluding value added tax. Including the value added tax of 24% (21.6 million euros), the estimated total cost of the contract reaches approximately 111.6 million euros.

This acquisition will take place in three phases, with the current authorization covering the first phase (2023–2026) up to 90 million euros. The details of the subsequent phases will be refined during the implementation of the first phase.

The direct impact of this agreement on employment for Patria Aviation Oy is expected in 600 people-year from 2023 to 2031, with lasting effects extending until the 2040s. As Patria is a national company, all work will be carried out in Finland, boosting the local economy.

The acquisition is fundamental in the construction and maintenance of the maintenance and service capacity of the domestic system of the F-35, crucial for the military security of Finland. It ensures the management of knowledge and technology at the national level, increasing the reliability of the maintenance of the F-35 system in normal and exceptional conditions, thus promoting its operational independence.

This service agreement is part of a broader industrial cooperation agreement involving the Ministry of Defense, Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney. Under this agreement, companies must comply with their industrial cooperation obligations within ten years.

The main focus of the industrial cooperation of the F-35 project is the creation of independent and significant maintenance capabilities in Finland, thus increasing the security of the country's supply and contributing significantly to the national economy.

“The services purchased will allow Finland to establish a robust service and maintenance capacity for the F-35 system, crucial for its military security. In addition, the infrastructure and experience resulting from this agreement with Patria will establish an F-35 competence center in Finland, strengthening our position within the F-35 user community," said Brigadier-General Engineer Juha-Matti Ylitalo, Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Finnish Defense Forces.

This initiative is essential to meet the requirements of industrial cooperation and security of supply of the HX fighter project, where industrial cooperation was mandatory at least 30% of the purchase price.
