The American Society of Civil Engineers
Outstanding Civil Engineering Award

Established in 1960, this prestigious award recognizes the project that best illustrates superior civil engineering skills and represents a significant contribution to civil engineering progress and society. Honoring an overall project rather than an individual, the award recognizes the contributions of many engineers. The award is presented at the society’s annual Outstanding Projects and Leaders (OPAL) gala

Hatch Mott MacDonald contracted with Peratrovich Nottingham & Drage in 1997 to provide Kiewit Construction Company with survey, civil and structural engineering services for the Whittier Access Tunnel project. This design-build project enlarged and modified an existing 2.5-mile railroad tunnel to accommodate vehicular traffic between the Seward Highway and the City of Whittier. PND's primary responsibilities included pre-design topography and as-builting, staging area design, access road design, and structural design for a wide variety of facilities.
