Amec Foster Wheeler announces today that two of its projects have been honoured at the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Arizona 36th Annual Engineering Excellence Awards.
The Hardy Drive Streetscape Improvement Project won a 2016 Grand Award and the Luke Air Force Base Aircraft Maintenance Unit #3 Design Build Project won a 2016 Honour Award at a ceremony in Tempe, Arizona, United States.
We are very pleased that the hard work of our colleagues has been recognised for their industry leading consulting expertise and customer-focused services in these prestigious awards, which recognise engineering firms for projects that demonstrate an exceptional degree of innovation, complexity, achievement, and value.
The Hardy Drive Streetscape Improvement Project for the City of Tempe, Arizona transformed the area into a ‘complete street’ for all modes of transportation. Offering many pedestrian, bicycle and transit enhancements to the surrounding community such as speed tables, custom bus shelters, landscaping and public art, the project also includes separated bicycle facilities (cycle track), which is the first of its kind in Arizona.
The Luke Air Force Base Aircraft Maintenance Unit #3 Design Build Project completed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers features a 42,657 square feet combined squad, operations and aircraft maintenance unit to support the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 aircraft. Designed and constructed to LEED Silver U.S. Green Building Council Standards, the facility includes both classified and unclassified areas in the Squadron Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Unit areas.
