For the fifth consecutive year, Water & Wastes Digest recognized industry-specific projects featuring innovative upgrades and notable water and wastewater solutions and improvements that have been in design or construction during the past 18 months.
This year, Water & Wastes Digest’s editorial team presented the 2013 Top Projects awards at an Oct. 8, 2013, ceremony held at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Chicago during WEFTEC.13.
Winners were selected based on the obstacles that were faced and overcome by all parties involved with the projects. Other criteria included implementing cost-efficient technologies, meeting regulatory demands and addressing aging infrastructure needs.
The awards were presented to the owners, designers and contractors of the 10 water and wastewater projects. Congratulations to this year’s Top Project Winners:
