The awards were presented to projects that encompassed both the public and private sectors in several categories. The Jacques Chaban-Delmas Vertical Bridge won one of the top awards of the evening, the Diamond Award. The Diamond Award honors the work of ACEC New York member engineering firms on exceptional projects, both within New York State and throughout the world. The Jacques Chaban-Delmas project was advanced to the ACEC National 2014 Engineering Excellence Awards competition.

Award judging was based on complexity; future value to the engineering profession; original or innovative application of new or existing technologies; social, economic and sustainable design considerations; and meeting or exceeding client needs.

Congratulations to the entire Hardesty & Hanover team, our clients, and our teammates on receiving these prestigious awards.
