With a mix of company- and project-type awards, we are incredibly grateful to have had a fruitful 2023 winter/spring award season!
Starting with the ACEC Illinois Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremony in February, we happily accepted a Special Achievement Award in the Studies, Research, and Consulting category for our Peoria Grey Area Mobility Enhancement & Expansion Study for the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. This award is given for projects worthy of special recognition of the engineer and the owner/client for achieving engineering excellence.
The ACEC Missouri Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremony took place in March, where we accepted an Honor Award for our North Lafayette Street Reconstruction project for the City of Florissant. This award is given to all projects at judges’ discretion and receiving the minimum score of 70 and has not received a Higher Award.
Indiana had the last of the ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards Ceremonies in April. We took home two awards, both being Merit Awards, for our Downtown Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements project for the City of Jeffersonville and for our I-65 over Lauramie Creek Bridge Rehabilitation project for INDOT, Crawfordsville District. Merit Awards are given to those projects worthy of recognition.

The APA-IN Hoosier Planning Award honors efforts to increase transportation choices for all populations, reducing dependence on private automobiles, and helping to ease congestion and reducing climate change impacts. The GLITE Transportation Achievement Awards are awarded annually for excellence in the advancement of
transportation to meet human needs, by entities concerned with transportation such as governmental
