GeoEngineers received a Bronze Award for its Hazel’s Creek Regional Stormwater Facility Feasibility Evaluation project at the 2010 American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Washington Chapter Engineering Excellence Awards. This annual program recognizes the state’s best engineering achievements, and the awards are among the most prestigious in the industry.
The Hazel's Creek project evaluated a site in Spokane's South Hill neighborhood that has potential to infiltrate stormwater. The project team discovered a previously unknown drainageway under the site and developed a groundwater flow model that will help the City more accurately assess the aquifer's capacity to absorb additional stormwater and determine how infiltration might affect properties near the site. Read the full Hazel's Creek case study.
GeoEngineers also received a Gold Award for its 1918 Eighth Avenue project in downtown Seattle and a Bronze Award for its Knapp-Wham Diversion Improvement project in the Entiat River valley.
ACEC Washington is the professional trade association representing consulting engineering firms, land surveyors, planners and scientists in all engineering disciplines throughout Washington state.
