FLO Engineering is proud to be featured in How Did They Fix That?, a Smithsonian Channel documentary series that explores the engineering, people, and processes behind some of the most challenging infrastructure projects.
The episode, Afterburn, follows the recovery efforts after the devastating 2025 Southern California wildfires, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to restore critical infrastructure following a natural disaster.
From damaged roads and unstable slopes to debris removal and emergency repairs, rebuilding after a wildfire comes with unique challenges. These projects require careful planning, specialized equipment, and experienced crews working in demanding conditions to restore access and help communities recover.
As a family-owned civil contractor based in California, FLO Engineering has built its experience around this kind of work, responding to infrastructure emergencies and delivering solutions where they’re needed most.
We’re proud to be part of the story and to share a closer look at the work behind the infrastructure communities rely on.
