ROCKFORD – Fehr Graham, a leading Midwest engineering and environmental firm, was awarded two 2017 ACEC-Illinois Engineering Excellence Awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois (ACEC-IL).
The firm was awarded a Special Achievement Award in the Waste and Storm Water category for the Second Street Pump Station & Force Main in Champaign, and received a Merit Award in the Small Projects category for the Auburn High School Tennis Court Improvements in Rockford.
The Engineering Excellence Awards Competition recognizes projects of engineering firms. Entries are judged on the basis of engineering excellence, the degree to which the client’s needs are met, and the benefits to the public welfare and private practice of engineering. Special Achievement Awards are given for those projects worthy of special recognition of the engineer and owner/client for achieving engineering excellence. Merit Awards are given for those projects worthy of recognition for the engineer and the client.
Fehr Graham worked with the Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District (UCSD) on its Second Street Pump Station and Force Main Project. UCSD has seen dramatic increases to the population density in areas of downtown Champaign and the University of Illinois campus. These changes have resulted in much higher sanitary flows in sewers mains than originally planned for in 1923 when the sewers were installed. As a result, Fehr Graham was contracted by UCSD to provide all civil and environmental engineering services to shore-up the aged system to meet the needs of the growing population.
