The resolution celebrates the 100th anniversary of Volkert, Incorporated, a prominent engineering firm based in Mobile, Alabama, which was originally founded in New Orleans in 1925. The company has evolved from its initial focus on port and waterfront construction to become a leading player in engineering and infrastructure development across the nation. Notable projects include the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, recognized as the world's longest bridge over water, and significant contributions to transportation infrastructure in Alabama, such as the I-565 project and the I-22/I-65 interchange.

Volkert has been acknowledged for its commitment to innovation and employee welfare, notably through its establishment of a 100% employee-owned structure in 1975. The firm has received numerous awards for engineering excellence and has played a crucial role in preserving Alabama's history, including work on the USS Alabama and USS Drum. With over 1,500 employee-owners across 60 offices in 25 states, Volkert continues to thrive and significantly contribute to the economic growth and quality of life in the Mobile area. The resolution extends commendations and congratulations to Volkert for its century-long legacy and impact.
