Andrew with the Adopt-A-Highway program in Ambler Rotary
In the summer of 2015, CHANCE Fellow Andrew Chiang's life was changed by the CHANCE program field study of the eutrophication of the Tai Lake in Jiangsu, China. Andrew went on to graduate in 2016 from Penn State University's Schreyer Honors College with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and has found a way to marry his degree with his CHANCE-inspired passion for preserving water. Currently, Andrew works as a civil engineer at TPEC (Trans-Pacific Engineering Corp.) which is heavily involved with Philadelphia Water's stormwater and water treatment systems. Here he is proud to be a part of projects that apply Low Impact Development and Best Management Practices into projects such as landscape architecture, subsurface systems, infiltration systems, bio-retention systems, rain gardens, cisterns, stormwater filtration, and system maintenance. In his spare time, Andrew continues to be a strong advocate for conservation and sustainability through his involvement with the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group (ESRAG), Ambler Environmental Advisory Council (Ambler EAC), Ambler Rotary Club, and the Green Party of Montgomery County, PA.
